did anyone try this: cheap point-n-shoot on the back of a large format beast?
"chibitul" wrote in message ... yes, that is what I mean. Most cameras have a macro mode, but you can also put the camera about 0.5 meters away from the ground glass. Ok, the image is dim, but this is large format camera here, not sports or action. we're talking landscapes, biuldings, etc, right? what's wrong with a slow shutter speed? And do you really need the ground glass? what if you *remove* the ground glass, the image will act as an object for the digicam. it should work. How will the "image act as an object" without the glass? |

"Mark M" wrote: How will the "image act as an object" without the glass? just to clarify, the image is there regardless if you have the glass or not. The rays will keep propagating toward the digicam, and they "emerge" from the real image, no glass needed. as I said, optics. |

...

You can get bellows lenses for Nikons, I believe, and tilt and shift lenses for Canon, that achieve much of what the bellows on a large format camera does. Can't use them on a P&S, of course, but you can use them on DSLR bodies. No AF, but at that point, who'd expect that? -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |
