geoffreyg Posted January 15, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 15, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) This may sound a bit wacky, but has anyone tried this? As the M8 responds well to manul lenses (including old SLR lenses), could it be used with say a Nikon PC lens? One could either learn how to shift/compose, chimp to see the result, or get a viewfinder. Â Assuming one uses it for architecture and maximum vertical rise, for example, couldn't one get used to what the image would be, using the full viewfinder (24 mm), with a cropped 28 mm lens? Â It would require a mount converter. This came to mind seeing a guy wiht an Alpa, and he did all his cropping by simply looking at the image after it was taken on the MF digital back. Â Goofy but possible? Â Geoff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtmerideth Posted January 16, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted January 16, 2007 Geoff, It's so easy to remove the keystoning in post and even change the view point. g. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
george + Posted January 16, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted January 16, 2007 Gary is right of course. But if you wish to play with the lens get a Visoflex and see what you are doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted January 16, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted January 16, 2007 I have tried it with my modified Oly 24mm for leica R mount that i had a conversion done for the DMR , than put on a R to M Novaflex adpter and bingo it works but you are working without focusing aid and also hard to tell what you are stitching but the good news you can view it on the LCD and do it again and make the adjustments. i did post this awhile back with a image i tried worked very nice.

geoffreyg Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share #5 Â Posted January 16, 2007 It's so easy to remove the keystoning in post and even change the view point. g. Â But you lose definition and resolution in doing that. Esp. in architectural shots - they look kind of chopped up if you modify them too much - don't they? Â And re: visoflex: what type of lenses can you put on it? Â Thanks all - Â Geoff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmerideth Posted January 16, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted January 16, 2007 Geoff, No loss of quality, just distorting the image back to parallel. g. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
