I do find that the Schneider 40mm isn't wide enough for what I want to do. It would probably make it in a pinch on the full 56x56mm frame, but on 36x48mm I find it too tight. Eventually that probably means that I will have to add a tech camera, if it becomes a problem. The Cambo WRS or similar with a 35mm or 32mm lens, with a little room for shifting, and possibly a little tilt, would be awesome, but that is several thousand extra expense, so that will have to wait for now. I will keep my eyes open for good deals on used equipment.

Does anyone have lens recommendations for this combination? How does one focus accurately with such a system?

I need to test all combinations and send away the lenses needing maintenance. Does anyone know what the price is likely to be for a lens overhaul? I live in Germany.

Hi Carsten, I would recommend that you give our service-technician Mr. Daus a call. He is an expert on lenses. His number is 0531/6800-425

Ps: Where in Germany do you live?


Best regards,

Johannes

Hello Johannes, and thanks for the answer. I am in Berlin. I see now that you are in Braunschweig, a real shame, since just this weekend I was in Goslar. I guess you would have been closed in any case, so it wouldn't have made a difference, but it would be great to be able to visit one day.

Well, I just took a dive into the slightly deeper end, and ordered the plain matte Maxwell screen from Eric :) Knock on wood that I will like it as much as I hope.

I got a Maxwell screen for my Contax 645 and like it very much.

Yes, I have heard great things about the Maxwell screens, but this will be the first time I try one. I am excited to see what all the fuss is about.

Some early results. I am finally beginning to see the advantage of these files. The natural colour just comes so easily, and there is some meat in them, even outside ideal parameters. The Sony A7, which I also shoot, is also very good (in a different way of course), but I have to deal with a bunch of little issues with those files.

Sinar Hy6, eMotion 75LV, Schneider 40/3.5 @ f/8, 29s, ISO 100. The Schneider doesn't have the same micro-contrast as Zeiss lenses, but it is sharp when stopped down a little! Long exposures isn't really the forté of this back, but with a touch of noise reduction, it does okay.



Another one, same camera/lens combination, 1/15s, f/8. I missed focus slightly, but there was enough meat in the file to bring it back.

I cannot imagine how much work is required to cover a house like this with slate! Incredible workmanship.



By the way, these were both shot in Goslar, Germany, at the north edge of the Harz.

Hmm, these show up smaller than they really are, and the downsizing isn't that great. It removes a bunch of detail. Is there some way to post links to the full images?
