X1D and the ACTUS XCD and the CANON Adpater

[gmfotografie]

Does anybody has good reviews on both systems using the X1D as a MF Back ?

Canon TSE Linses on the X1D - (independent form the given vignette)
and using the Cambo Actus with Lenses which can use the resolution of the back ?

I'm a little biased, but I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

With Canon TS-E 17mm, the last 3mm or so of shift will result in noticeable vignetting on the X1D, the rest of the shift range is very usable. I tried mine with the Kipon EF-X1D adapter, which allows for electronic aperture control. No issues.

Will test the Actus XCD for about 1 week - Canon and Hasselblad V-Lenses
After the next weekend I will upload more pics with a review.

(Today i was in hurry... take some landscapes in front of my door)
Tilting and shifting works great with the good old V- lenses.
I´m impressed about the quality.

I personally would use tech cam lenses with a copal 0 shutter.

That way you can work independent of E shutter.

yes but as i know you cannot communicate with the x1d and copal system

I know.



Set the desired shutter speed on the copal.
Set the exposure to ~ 1-2 seconds on the x1d.
Click the x1d shutter.
Click the copal shutter with the cable release.

It really depends how fast you are and how long of a exposure you want with the x1d. You could play around with whatever you desire.

But a 1-2 sec exposure at low ISO will yield 0 noise. But no e-shutter artifacts. You effectively turn the x1d into film.

some more test_pics available--- next weekend i will take some serious landscapes

Oh one more thing to keep in mind. You are limited in focal lengths with tech cam lenses, cause of the camera body. FYI.
