Hi,

Which T&S adapter do you use? I am considering a HCam Master TS that has a tripod mount.

Best regards
Erik

I'm using the A version and yes it is putting strain on the mount which I changed to a tough E mount but still.
I which I could find a tripod collar that would hold.

Hi,

This is what I am considering. The Kipon adapter you are using is said to be a "knock off" from the original Mirex adapter. The HCam Master T&S is based on the same adapter.

The Canon EF bayonet is used as it has a wide opening and a short flange distance, so it offers a great variability with adapters.

The HCam Master TS has a tripod mount, and it seems to be on the lens-side, so the camera can be tilted and moved without moving the lens.

It is a bit expensive, about 1000$US + sales tax. Read more about it here: http://www.getdpi.com/wp/2015/03/h-cam-master-ts-adapter/

The ring with the blue tab is a way to fix aperture on Nikon G-lenses.



Just to say, I have not tested this device, it is just in my shopping plans for near future (within 6 months).

Best regards
Erik

Well Erik definitely this has its advantages. The Kipon was $350 and is really good build quality, just doesn't have the tripod mount.

I do have a Horeseman VVC Pro that I use in the studio in pair with the Rodenstock Apo lenses.

This is even better solution but cannot handle wide angle lenses.

It has 12mm of tilt in one direction and +-15mm shift. It rotates too. This version for G lenses has the diaphragm lever.

The entire description is here:

They have 2 versions, one for Nikon F mount and one for Nikon F and G mounts.

Recent food session with mostly South American desserts. Sony A7R + Pentax 645 120 Macro Tilt-Shift adapter.
The experience of a week long shooting with this camera was superb, only withdrawal is short battery duration with live view.



Nice looking dessert; you pic makes me want to try one.

I think I MIGHT be done buying glass for the new Sony based architecture kit... oh and look... A7r II... just in time :)



Chris, in a previous post (that I can not find) you mentioned company in England, I think, that did custom work to lenses.  I believe you said you had them re-barrel a lens to mount on your cine camera. 

Could you tell me the name of that company again? 

(I could totally be mixing you up with another photographer too)

Joe,

I used Van Diemen, who did an excellent job.  They took forever, tough (6 months) and I think it was about $5k a lens.

From this...


To this...


There's also True Lens Service who are some guys that broke off from Van Diemen and also do beautiful work.  Then there's Nan at GL Optics in China who is less expensive and nearly as good as the Brits.  I have his 18-35 1.8 which uses a really incredible Sigma zoom as it's core (Cropped Frame / S35 only tho).  These lenses are all serious business and are typically in PL Mount, tho GL will also do Eos.

Lastly, if you just want to mod some still lenses with a gear ring, de-click apertures and ad a common diameter front ring, you couldn't do better than Duclos Lenses.

If you're talking about custom work other than for Cine use... I don't really have a resource for that.

Cheers,
CB

Thank you Chris. 

The mods would not be for cine use, but still work.  I have been looking at the images posted by Doug Peterson from the Schneider Cinelux 130mm f/2 and I am really impressed.  It is a projection lens, so the aperture is fixed and there is no shutter in it. 

I am slowly getting into more hospitality work and like the look of that lens for portraits, and feel it would be a good lens for product as well, if I could stop it down. 

My idea would be to have an aperture installed into the lens and maybe a leaf shutter so I could use it on both a tech camera and SLR type camera. 

Just an idea, not going to happen soon, but I wanted to add those businesses to my database for future reference.

Oh... I would totally check with SK Grimes on that.  Seems right up their alley.  What sort of look is it?  If you want something more diffuse... glowy, have a look at the Cooke Portrait lens.  Also, I carry diffusion filters to soften the look of the RED on indie films.  A 1/4 Black ProMist has a really nice effect and just takes the edge off of digital.

I just talked to them and they said it could be rather difficult.  They may not be able to do it.  

I just like the look of the lens.  Very very sharp where you focus, very very smooth in the out of focus areas.  

I just looked up the entire Schneider Cinelux range.  It turns out there are a few different classes of projection lenses within that brand name.  The Cinelux Premiere lenses have an aperture, a f/1.7 through 4.  However it looks like this line is designed for 35mm film only.  But it looks like an aperture could be installed, albeit may require a new lens barrel and housing.  

Thanks for the suggestion on the diffusion filters, may be a good thing to look into.

Usually 1.  That way I have the best light from start to finish.  More than one and you often have to compromise something.  I have done up to 3 in a day, but I had preset three tripods and two cameras and then ran from one to the other.  I've also just left one camera in position shooting automatically via a timelapse controller.

Obviously, if you need to do more than one in a day, the ideal is to shoot east first and then west, as the western sky stays lighter longer.
