did anyone try this: cheap point-n-shoot on the back of a large format beast?
Did anyone try to use a large format camera to get an image (with all
the advantages of large format cameras: tilt, shift, etc) and then use a small digicam instead of film to snap the picture? I imagine if you make some sort of fixture to attach the digicam to the back of the large format camera, and focus on the glass plate, you should be able to snap *that* image. I never used a large format camera and I do not intend to venture into this field unless I can do it digitally. I am not into high resolution stuff, I read some of Ansel Adams books and I am impressed with what you can do with large format when you can tilt/shift the lens and the negative as you want. Just wondering if I can "piggy-back" a cheap point-n-shoot on the back of a large format beast? |

Ever here of 35mm tilt/shift lenses? These work swimmingly on DSLRs. |

I'm just at a loss as to why you would want to use a cheap P&S digicam piggybacked to a large format one. Why not just take a large format, or even medium format image and digitize it. |

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 |
