Sure. Among other several other options, there is this: http://www.hartblei.eu/en/hartbleicam2.htmI am just wondering whether if it is possible to use Canon, Nikon (35mm) lenses attached to MF digital backs?
This is amazing!!! ...and expensive I guess...Sure. Among other several other options, there is this: http://www.hartblei.eu/en/hartbleicam2.htm
Alternatively, I'm in the process of modifying a Contax Preview camera (which I bought used on eBay for a whopping $62 delivered and already modified to accept Nikon F-mount lenses instead of Contax/Yashica lenses) to accept my P30+ back in place of the original Polaroid back ... not quite finished yet, but so far, so good. Ultimately, I hope to further modify it to accept a Conurus-modified Contax N-mount 17-35 zoom, but one step at a time...
Since the OP (haring) is a wedding shooter a few things should be cleared up:I am just wondering whether if it is possible to use Canon, Nikon (35mm) lenses attached to MF digital backs?
Very few 35mm film long-focus lenses will be suitable for MFD,,, but I have 400mm and 640mm Novoflex lens heads, used with follow-focus and bellows focusing.I'm also suggesting it for a gentlemen with a very specific application where he wants an ULTRA long lens but wants to use medium format.
I have not worked with these long Noveflex lens heads. From knowing nothing it sounds to me like a physical adapter for a DF body (which would include a shutter) would be preferable to mounting a copal 3 shutter and a full 2 feet of sinar extension.

The lens head and aperture ring could have a shutter mounted immediately behind the diaphragm (no elements behind the diaphragm), on a Sinar. I think the image circle is more than a foot!
I have a copal 3 shutter that came with a reversible 300mm macro lens, and I think it would be big enough.
