Received it today. (Fotodiox, $45, Hasselblad "V" lens adaptor to
Minolta/Sony A-mount).

Initial tests are good, however, the intelligent preview of the Sony
a900 does not work (get an error message). Too bad as the intelligent
preview is a great way to check and adjust exposure before committing to
shots.

TTL metering works fine of course with the stop down on the lens.

Hand held shots are clumsy with the CF lens as the aperture control is
right handed on the lens. No big deal as I'll be using this mainly on
the tripod.

Focusing is not easy (with the 80 f/2.8).

Need to go shoot some real subjects.
