I've located an adaptor for Hasselblad lenses to Minolta A-mount.

I'm tempted. Anyone use these? What are the tradeoffs? I expect it will
require stop down metering (or incident meter or histo test metering) and
of course there's no AF (no problem).


If you have lenses for your Minolta, use those.
Much easier.


Why so? I don't use AF generally. I often incident meter or spot with
a separate meter - and in this case the a900 preview exposure adjustment
mode is perfect for this.
