DOF Adapter Grabs

[Policar]

Yeah, I've been posting these all over, but I'm just stoaked that they actually look pretty good. I'm shooting a "music video" (quotes are intentional) with this thing tomorrow or Saturday, so that will be the real test. And, yes, there is dust on the outside of the focusing screen. Other than one piece in the wax, it can easily be cleaned off, my can of compressed air just ran out of pressure so I left it as is.










The soft edges are due to a cheap macro lens. The vignetting (though not horrible) is an issue I have to work on. The adapter cost me a total of about 70 dollars, though, or 35 dollars not counting the Nikon/EOS adapter I already own. Usually I get chromatic abberation, but it's almost totally gone here which really makes me happy.

Besides the softness on the sides as you mentioned, these look great . Good work!

How'd you do this now?

[Kirk Gillock]

Impressive. Really good DOF. Any photos of the actual adaptor?

I posted a link to a guide in the hardware section:

It's a little out of date and pretty rough, but I'll fix it up later.

I posted to the "medium format" thread in the Hardware section. A grab and link to a page with some video.

If you're at all interested. I like using the bigger frame-size of the 6x6 camera...more room to play around in.
