I've been toying with the idea of shooting 6x6 with my Alpa for a long time and I think I'm finally ready to start pursuing it earnestly.
This will mean selecting a new (to me) lens as nothing I have now will cover the format. Something in the slightly wide range of focal length probably. I'm leaning towards the Rodie HR 40 + the tilt adapter for use with landscapes. The SK 45 APO-Helvetar and 58 SA look promising but no tilt(?) Not a deal breaker but I think I'd rather have the option than not if everything else is 'equal.'
Most of the discussions around using film backs with Alpa stop several years ago. Does anyone have some new thoughts on their favorite glass options from the last 5 years or so for this kind of setup?
Of course just about everything in copal is discontinued on the Alpa website. So, availability of a chosen lens may be a challenge ...:facesmack:
Best Regards,
Tyler
