I am thinking of just mounting my LF lenses in Mamiya body caps; the Mamiya caps appear flat enough, though I may need to fabricate a shim spacer. I can buy sheets of opaque plastic, cut the appropriate mount hole in them and epoxy them to the cap if I need to. Also looking at mounting pin-holes this waywow, ektar rocks. i just could not figure out how to mount it. i wish i had someone who could machine custom lens adapters
Can I start a new thread for MF 45mp pinhole samples?Also looking at mounting pin-holes this way
Be my guest!Can I start a new thread for MF 45mp pinhole samples?
The way I see it, dust is so easy to blow off a MF sensor to begin with, that with pinhole it should be a relative non-issuethis is a great idea! now i have to buy all contax body caps before someone else will figure it out
i am a bit apprehensive about digital pinhole photography... dust will get sucked right in and land on a sensor, i mean, IR filter...
Victor,It would be good for Lance to pipe in on the raw of the Phase backs. The noise suppression and sharpening can be totally turned off in C1 , but that begs the questions what IS done in the back.
Real raw would be quite a burden for most to comprehend; the current levens from each of the bayer matrix pixels will first need interpolation to RGB at each site, and the over all WP, BP and WB or historgram are needed. I assume Sinar pack stop about here, but we know other systems go on to process, at least for the LCD, but also can show pixel level in the back.
Then there are dead lixels, black level adjustment (for long exposure noise suppression that Leica does and some phase.
It is why as Ray says the next level of improvement may be at the system board level where the back gets better. Sinar will then need to decide, as will Phase and Leaf, where to put the processing; in the back or in the SW.
I am quite axnious to compare the sinar processin to Phase, and will likely rent a 74LV to try
With Contax 645 mount, of course.

Mark Tucker uses Liquid Nails for this sort of home brew stuff.

Victor,
You are correct you can disable sharpening and the noise suppression can be set to low.
