Only problems are medium format lenses may not be as sharp and they
become long telephoto lenses.

The FL should be no different? eg: the adaptor puts the lens mount out at
the same distance it would be if mounted on the 500 C/M. The image circle
will be larger (potential mirror box reflection issues) but the FL should
remain that of the lens.


The focal length does remain what it is.
The angle of view however certainly does not.


Duh and duh.
