Hi,
I bought a Mamiya 645 50mm f4 shift lens and bunged it on my Canon 5D3 via a Fotodiox adapter.
Attached are 100% crops as exported from LR with the sharpness turned off.
Admittedly they look sharper than they did via the camera's rear screen but what do you think of the quality?
Also, it's my first time using a lens like this where the aperture doesn't talk to the camera.
Something weird happens when using Liveview. The exposure was around 125 @ f16 but I had to slow shutter speed down to about 1/4s to get Liveview bright enough to see/focus.
I guess this is because the lens is actually at f16. I found focussing somewhat difficult, with the image seeming to 'breathe' a lot with changes in focus. I'm assuming the adaptor is mounted correctly. It's difficult to mount as tolerances seem tight and the lens want to spin around its shift mechanism.
Any feedback from experienced users of this combo?
Jon
