I have been kicking around the idea of using one of those Hasselblad lens adapters for either a Yashica or Nikon SLR. I have been watching them on ebay. Has anyone had any experience with using one of these? Is it worth the trouble?

If you have a lot of Hasselblad lenses laying around, that is an idea. I guess you would have to set the shutter on "B" unless you're using one of the shutterless Hasselblad lenses. I, personally, have not tried the adapter so can't recommend them.

Why? Speaking for the Nikon... I wouldn't quickly be convinced that the IQ is any better than the Nikkor lenses. The convenience would certainly not be better.
