The Beast is back !
Using a $300. Phase One V adapter to Mamiya RZ, I've pressed the old War Horse back into active duty usng the CFV back set to Flash Sync in the menu.
Why you say? It's a monster you say?
Because The Mamiya RZ offers a host of lenses that stand up and bark with the best of them ... AND has stuff like the T/S adapter to use with Short Barrel 75mm and 180mm lenses to control perspective and DOF while retaining infinity focusing and without adding any X lens factor, or the excellent fisheye, or 210 and 250 APOs, or the 180 with swappable Imagon type apertures for variable soft focus that cannot be duplicated in PS ... all for the price of one lens for other systems
This "fat Pixel" back really sings with these lenses :thumbs:
If you have a CFV, troll the sell sites ... whole RZ systems are for sale for next to nothing.
Here's some goofing around with the T/S adapter while I was setting this up to see how it performed ... no CA or color shift even at the most extreme settings.
