Will my lenses fit a different body?

Pick the mount your glass is on and the body you're thinking of moving to. We work out whether a plain adapter gets you there, show the millimetres it turns on, and say what it does to your framing.

Answers focus and framing. Autofocus, aperture control and whether an adapter is actually made are separate questions.

Works with a plain adapter

Nikon F sits 28.36mm further from the sensor than Hasselblad X. You need a 28.36mm adapter, but it can be a plain one — a hollow metal spacer with no glass in it. The lens still reaches infinity focus and nothing is added to the optical path.

Coverage & framing. Nikon F lenses are built for a Full frame imaging circle, which is smaller than Medium format. Expect heavy vignetting or a forced crop on a Hasselblad X body.

NativeNative fitSame mount. The lens bolts straight on — no adapter, nothing lost.
AdapterWorks with a plain adapterYou still need an adapter, but only a plain one — a hollow metal spacer with no glass in it. Focus and image quality are unaffected.
ThinNeeds a thin adapterThe two mounts sit almost the same distance from the sensor, so any adapter has to be wafer-thin or flush. These exist for common pairings and often don't for rare ones.
OpticsOnly with corrective opticsA plain adapter cannot work — it would have to remove distance, which is impossible. Only an adapter with corrective glass inside will focus to infinity, and that costs sharpness and usually a stop of light.

What this does and doesn't tell you

  • It answers focus and framing: whether a plain adapter reaches infinity, and what the sensor does to your field of view.
  • It doesn't promise an adapter is actually manufactured for your pairing. Rare combinations often have none.
  • Electronic contacts, autofocus and aperture control are separate questions. Most adapters for legacy glass are fully manual.
  • On SLR-to-SLR pairings, mirror clearance can stop a lens fitting even when the numbers work.
