Barrel Lens to Hasselblad Adapter

For a Californian photographer, finding a couple old brass barrel lenses, a Bausch and Lomb and a Dusseldorf, generated a desire to mount the lenses on her Hasselblad.

The adapter consisted of two parts. The main adapter featured the bayonet for adapting to the Hasselblad system. The length of the tube positioned the lens the correct distance from the film plane for infinity focusing. The second adapter was an extension ring which spaced the second lens and adapted to its unique mounting thread.
