Technical Camera advice

Hi folks,

I'm looking to jump into the tech cam world.. I've been surfing, and reading quite a lot. But somehow I'm still not so sure..
I'm now using XF, IQ1-100, and IQ380 for studio work
I'm shooting architect & interior occasionally with my Sony and Canon TS-E lens (17/24mm..)

In my area, there are no tech cam users or dealers. So I couldn't try it before I bought it.
I've read it's better to use the tech cam with a digital back that has ES - like IQ3100 - I couldn't afford the latest one - for now. (I'm going to trade one of my back to it)

. Cambo Wide DS and a Schneider Digitar 35mm are affordable - would be a start?
Any guidance for a newbie?

Thank you,
 
A

Hi
From what I’ve read, the Schneider 35 does not work well with the IQ3 100. You need the newer BSI IQ4150 if you want a CMOS sensor.
I don’t have the 380, but it works well on my 260 for IR photographs.
I use a Cambo actus.

If I were starting on a tech camera, I would probably consider the Arca Swiss (RM3Di?) system, where tilt and the focusing ring are part of the body itself.

There are several threads here about starting out. A lot of it is in lens discussions so a little searching is required. I usually search in google using “site:getdpi.com” at the end of the search string.
You can also check out a series of articles I wrote here: Technical Cameras-Intro
There are three follow up articles to that one. I need to get back on that!

Here is s a short thread about the 35xl:

Opinion on SK 35 APO Digitar XL

So, I’ve been doing some research, this lens is pretty much the same focal length with Digaron 40? Based on Photo digital transitions page. The lens itself is less than half of Rodie counterpart, How’s the performance on the lens on IQ4 if anyone here has some sample? I might pair this with a...

The first three images in my post are with the IQ3 100. I think that back performed a bit better with color cast vs the IQ150. Not as good as the IQ 160/260/360, but better than the 180/280/380.
