Does anyone have any experience with these? How well would they work for architectural applications (looking at the Rodagon 60 f4)?
How does stitching exposures work? Is there a sliding mask on the back or will I have to adjust rise?
On the Rodagon lenses do they have the coverage for four full frame exposures or would I have to go with a large format lens.

Hello,
I have been using the Horseman VCC adaptor for over a decade and for me and it is invaluable for my sort of work.
It so happens I am selling my original Horseman VCC adaptor as I no longer use a MFDB camera.
The Rodenstock Rodagon and Apo lenses are optically superb.
I now have a new Horseman VCC Pro adaptor which I personally think the older version is better made. Also even though it states you can fit a Rodenstock 60mm Rodagon lens you can but it is not possible to rise, fall of shift this as it is to far back to the camera mount. If you want all the movements I would recommend a 80mm, 105mm, 120mm or 135mm on a Nikon or Canon. If you are using a Mamiya 645 then it would be the 105mm, 120mm or 135mm lenses I would go for. As for stitching these adaptors would be perfect.

Thanks,
That's a great deal btw.

Simon,
I presume that the lenses on that ebay link are the classic large format, NOT the digital versions, (i.e NOT apo-digital sironar or the like). Am I right?

Oh, stupid me. Rodagon are enlarging lenses, I had myself a Rodagon 105 and an APO Rodagon 80 some twenty years ago...
