Hi Diane
Its been interesting to me that all the samples have been selective focus. Is it because you feel that using a T/S in a more traditional way isn't useful with a 4/3rds sensor
gosh, well I thought I did an
ok job with the
flower bed example I picked earlier ... I usually use the method to increase focus without needing more than f8 rather than selective focus ... for an example from full frame 35mm with the TS-E90 (which needs all the DoF help it can get)
on a larger print those ferns in the middle really stand out and you don't seem to notice the background at their location on the film is blurry. Move up a little and the background comes into focus so it all looks good.
I'm wanting to do the same with the G1 ... but I must admit with wide angles there is so little out of focus that I don't mind using it for focus selection too.
Pellicle--there is some information about the new 17 f/4 TS and 24 ..
Talk about pricey LOL.
I know ... If I hadn't sold my 24 and 90 back 2 or so years ago (and I could afford a 5D now) then I'd probably be satisfied with that setup. But on the 10D it didn't make sence (in terms of I didn't like what the angle of view had become).
However I did still feel it was all just that little heavy for backpacking in 30degC plus conditions. I keep thinking my G1 and on occasions 4x5 camera will do that role (like when I take the 4x4 truck with me :- ) but here I am fiddle farting about trying to get movements on my G1 to get the best of both worlds.
The one thing I would love is the ability to use tilt/swing or shift in any orientation,
well people (fellow 4x5 photogrpahers) said that to me when I was using the TS-E on my 35mm camera, but I somehow never found it an issue.
but I still prefer the 45 (which hasn't been upgraded) since I can easily stitch or do pano for wider (except for interiors).
I've given up on using movements with the G1. I don't think there is really any interest in it for many using 4/3rds cameras so its just not going to happen unless you make your own as Vivek has.
don't be so sure ... I've had interesting (ongoing) conversations with jinfinance who makes very nice m4/3 adaptors ... heck if
more people expressed interest in a cheap adaptor I'm sure he'd be
more interested in making one.
Then there's araxfoto to be considered ... they've suggested interest too
