Hasselblad Extension Tube H13 mm

Hasselblad Extension Tube H13mm

Hasselblad engineered the Hasselblad Extension Tube H to expand the close-focusing range of the legendary H System lens lineup. First, this 13mm precision ring fits between the camera body and the lens to increase the lens-to-sensor distance. Furthermore, this physical shift allows the lens to focus much closer than its native minimum distance. As a result, photographers can capture intricate macro details with their existing HC and HCD glass without investing in a dedicated macro lens.

In addition, the tube maintains a sophisticated electronic connection across the system. Specifically, it features a full set of gold-plated contacts that pass data between the lens and the body. Moreover, this integration preserves critical functions like autofocus (AF) and leaf shutter synchronization. Ultimately, the robust mechanical build ensures that even heavy professional optics remain perfectly aligned. Therefore, the Hasselblad Extension Tube H stands as a vital accessory for H System users and those adapting H glass to the X System or 907X.

Key Features & Highlights

• 13mm Macro Extension: This tube provides a significant boost to your lens’s reproduction ratio. Accordingly, you can transform a standard portrait lens into a powerful tool for close-up nature, jewelry, or product photography.

• Full Electronic Data Pass-Through: The internal circuitry supports all camera-to-lens communications. Hence, your EXIF data remains accurate, and you retain full control over aperture and shutter settings from the camera grip.

• Maintains High-Speed Sync: The tube does not interfere with the H System’s leaf shutter capabilities. Furthermore, you can still use flash synchronization at all shutter speeds up to 1/800s or 1/2000s, depending on your lens version.

• Stackable for Greater Magnification: Hasselblad designed these tubes to work in combination with other H-series extension rings. Consequently, you can stack the 13mm with the 26mm or 52mm tubes to achieve extreme macro magnification ratios.

• Autofocus Performance Support: The tube allows for autofocus operation with most HC and HCD lenses. Meanwhile, this ensures you can achieve sharp focus on tiny subjects quickly, though manual fine-tuning remains an option for critical macro work.

• Professional Grade Construction: Hasselblad uses high-strength alloys to withstand the rigors of studio and field use. As a result, the mount remains light-tight and rigid, even when supporting substantial glass like the HC 150mm or HC 210mm.

• Cross-System Versatility: This tube works perfectly on native H System film and digital cameras. Specifically, it also performs flawlessly when adapting H lenses to the X2D or 907X via the XH Converter or XH Converter 0.8.

• Optical Integrity Preservation: Because the tube contains no glass elements, it does not introduce chromatic aberration or distortion. Therefore, the Hasselblad Extension Tube H preserves the world-class resolving power of your original Hasselblad optics.
