Hi Murray,
I recently saw this post...
http://www.getdpi.com/forum/sony/50536-new-hcam-ts-master-14-24mm.htmlwhere Stefan Steib from Hartblei is talking about the image circle of the Nikon 14-24mm.. The rise/fall and shift movements are in relation to use on the Sony A7R but he does go on to say that even at 14mm it will cover the full area of the IQ250..
" the new system from the right side.
5mm shift bidirectional in 14mm focal length
10mm shift bidirectional in 18mm focal length
7mm shift bidirectional in 24mm focal length
Quality of the Nikon 14-24mm is well known to be on top of superwideangles, to be compared with the best Zeiss Primes like the 15mm Distagon but with less distortions.
Even shifted and stitched at 14mm you will get about 34x46mm or if used on an HCam-B1 (or an FPS) with an IQ250 a full shot with 14mm focal length.
And yes we are planning to sell the parts separately if needed.
Customer 14-24mm Lenses also to be serviced and modded.
Prices still to be determined "
This involves sawing off the lens hood as well to get around the vignetting issue..
As an owner of the Sony A7R, I am patiently waiting for this adapter to be released so that I can try to achieve the "poor mans MFDB" through doing rear stitches
Great work by the way, I recently saw your exhibit in Melbourne, really great..
Cheers
Stefan
