Description — Hasselblad Converter H 1.7X
The Hasselblad Converter H 1.7X is a purpose-built teleconverter for the Hasselblad H lens mount, operating within the medium format camera system. It is classified as a prime optical element with a telephoto focal length range, designed to extend the reach of compatible H System lenses. The converter supports autofocus and manual focus, preserving the full focusing flexibility of your existing setup. Image stabilization is not present, so stabilization performance depends on any capability within the paired lens.
The converter weighs 750 grams, giving it a solid, system-appropriate build. No filter thread size is specified in the available data. For H System photographers seeking additional focal length from their current lens lineup while retaining autofocus capability and staying fully within the medium format ecosystem, the Converter H 1.7X is a system-native solution engineered to integrate directly with Hasselblad's H mount infrastructure.
