vintage medium format lens on a DSLR????
well sure, why the heck not!
--- do you shoot on M? you will have to so get yer exposure triangle down- --- do you have a DSLR that has a full frame sensor? crop factor on some of the glass I am using is .6 ---- not saying a ASP-c sensor wont work, but you will have better results. --- so next go to the interwebs and find a "Zeiss Jena Flektogon 4/50 with Pentacon six mount" you are looking for the "zebra" lens. --- Next get a adapter, I needed a Nikon F and it was about $20 have fun-- <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/134178012@N02/22742575751/in/datetaken/" title="20151102-_LW16002"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/699/22742575751_3ba4c9cfbc_b.jpg" width="806" height="1024" alt="20151102-_LW16002"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/134178012@N02/22765260585/in/datetaken/" title="20151103-_LW16072-Edit-2"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/705/22765260585_383acc621a_b.jpg" width="1024" height="683" alt="20151103-_LW16072-Edit-2"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/134178012@N02/22751705032/in/datetaken/" title="20151103-_LW16114-Edit"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5821/22751705032_e4a1736334_b.jpg" width="1024" height="533" alt="20151103-_LW16114-Edit"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/134178012@N02/22669164586/in/datetaken/" title="20151101-_LW15852"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/758/22669164586_8d74008e27_b.jpg" width="1024" height="803" alt="20151101-_LW15852"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/134178012@N02/22467731890/in/datetaken/" title="20151031-_LW15631"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/653/22467731890_89401c3b96_b.jpg" width="1024" height="684" alt="20151031-_LW15631"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> oh---- if you are wondering what made that image different; it's the glass. it was made with Thorium Dioxide- and yes---- it is radioactive-- <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EzZEeR--iI0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FW2rM1kaRug" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Ah...real glass...a feature often lost on modern cameras (both in quantity/diameter and quality of optics). I know, I know - new cameras do some amazing things and the optical quality is superior in a smaller size format, but to me the shots just are not as "warm" as those from the old lenses.
Great shots! |
I've got a bunch of old Pentax 6x7 glass that I want to hang off of my modern FX nikons - been looking at "free-lensing" or other ways to play tilt/shift and take advantage of the larger image circle.
Nothing radioactive though. :( |
there are tilt shift adapters.....
