Hi
I'd love to have a setup to shoot outdoor architecture and I do already own Canon TSE 17mm and 24mm II lenses, but I'm also open buying LF lenses as I do use a Cambo Ultima for table work
my idea was to use those Canon lenses with the sony a7riii I already have and use the front shift to correct the convergence and use a secondary device to do the camera shift for stitching 2/3 photos together. (let's call it doubleshifter)
What I have tried so far:
— I bought a Kipon Shift EOS-NEX kinda cheap that does the same as the Mirex:
PRO: I can do the double shift as I want: correct building convergence and move the camera to stitch.
CONS: a lot of vignetting (it seems optimized to smaller sensors, not full frame)... I mean it's usable as I can shift 4/5mm and be able to sitch 2 images resulting in a 1.7x bigger image (like 70mp)
— I heard about the TSE Frame Rogeti, but it doesn't help...because the tilt is locked while the lens is in the cage and I can't do the double shift
— I heard about the german Hartblei double shifter adapter but is too expensive at 700-1000 euro...meh
— I already own a Cambo Ultima 35 which I love but way to heavy for outdoor/travel... I was thinking of buying an Actus Min so i can somehow cross-use them...BUT I don't see a cheap lens plate for canon (ie. I don't wanna spend $700++ for the electronic lens plate...i just need a manual as i stick to f/11 also while focusing)
— say I have the Actus mini with a lens... I guess I can't go beyond a Grandagon 35mm (flange dist about 55mm)... I bought by mistake and sold immediately the Schneider 24XL because the flange distance was way too short even for DSRL
anyways... I wonder what do you guys think and recommend... I know Novoflex also does bellows etc... Horseman has a similar solution to Actus....is there something I need to know/try?
