NOVOFLEX HAX-RETRO – Automatic Reverse Adapter for Hasselblad X. Explore the creative potential of extreme close-up photography with the NOVOFLEX HAX-RETRO, an automatic reverse adapter designed for Hasselblad X-series wide-angle and zoom lenses. This innovative tool allows you to mount your lens in reverse on the camera body, dramatically increasing magnification while maintaining full electronic control — including TTL and HSS functions.
- Automatic transmission of electronic control signals (TTL/HSS)
- Standard 77 mm filter thread (stepping rings available for other sizes)
- Compatible with NOVOFLEX BALPRO-1 bellows system (available as the BAL-HAX kit)
- Integrated V-groove for easy mounting in both standard and reverse positions
- The adapter comes with a built-in 77 mm filter mount and supports additional filter sizes via optional stepping rings.
When combined with the NOVOFLEX BALPRO-1 universal bellows, the HAX-RETRO becomes a fully functional automatic bellows system for Hasselblad X-Series cameras (X1D, X2D, 907X, and more). The reversing ring enables lenses to be used in both normal and reversed positions on the bellows, with no need for additional connector rings. The V-groove is built into both sides of the ring for secure mounting.
