XH Lens Adapter

[Greg]

Can anyone tell me why Hasselblad has not provided information as to which HC and HCD lenses will provide AF with the adapter?  They could give a list of serial numbers after which AF will be available or a date after which AF, with the adapter, will be available.  They first said only the very early lenses would not provide AF, and now they seem to be saying only the recent lenses will provide AF.  A clarification would be appreciated, since we have heard they are about to release the adapter.  That information could be helpful for some to determine if the XH adapter is worthwhile for them.  This is assuming that it will provide AF at all!  I'm beginning to wonder if the lack of information or clarification means there is NO AF coming at all with the XH adapter.

It would also be nice to receive assurance that focus aids, such as focus peaking and auto zoom, will be available with the adapter.  It seems that would be assured, but no one has yet, to my knowledge, confirmed that they will.   

Thanks,

Greg

Greg,

I appreciate your question regarding what lenses (serial numbers) will auto-focus with the XH Adapter; I'll be responsible for seeking that answer in full. I assure you that the focus aids: Auto Zoom and Focus Peaking "are" functioning (I've tested each); in fact, each are functions of the camera system and is not restricted to the lens type.
