The standard shutter release.Woody:
what is that brass doodad on the shutter release?
It really looks like a blunderbuss. I'm frequently approached by photographers and fanciers who are generally a pretty nice bunch. Reactions to of people in front of the lens tend to be whimsical - sort of "this thing can't be real." I'm not the most exotic piece of gear on the NY street - I saw a guy yesterday shooting a Red something or other - he escaped before I could talk to him. This is obviously the next frontier for gear nuts.Wow Woody, that looks like one of those old fashioned elephant guns!
You must get some funny looks while using that.
I've now (finally) assembled a full range of big image circle lenses that work with the 180: the HR 32 (90mm); the SK 48 (98mm according to Schneider but 90 or so useable in my rig); SK 72mm (90mm); and SK 120N (a whopping 120mm).Glad you posted this with this combo of 180 and 32. I wish I was able to use a 180 when I had the 28mm here.
I was just on the Alpa site - they've posted a new, 64 bit version of the lens corrector tool.
I just ordered it through my dealer here in NY. You could probably call or email Alpa.Looks really good Woody, may I know where you get the center filter? There is limited information avaliable online. Thanks
Here's the Alpa TC set up with the 32mm HR and the IQ 180. I've adapted a CZ 21mm finder for use with this lens - I like it much better than the Alpa finder because its more or less rectilinear, making it much easier to line up verticals and horizontals.
It balances perfectly well handheld. Not as compact as the SK 35 but completely workable. Weighs about 5.1 lbs as shown; with the Schneider it was under 4. I hesitate to post this because Guy is so good at shooting equipment - this looks pretty amateurish. I've got the high resolution focusing ring on order.
Used to be the Schneider 72L but I think the Rhody 55mm has taken over the top spot.Ed,
What is your most used lens?
