Well, ofcourse I will explain...:)

It is the original lens shade for a Fuji GX 680 III. I figured that the big size made for the fuji with filmsize 6x8cm + movements, it should be perfect for my Alpa.

It comes with Fuji special rings that attach to the lens with a filtersize of 82mm.

Dan, where did you buy that shade? Does it have a model#?

That's some setup for out in the wild! How do you find the process of tethering out in the open? It must be cumbersome?

As far as I know , all three lenses mentioned above are RODENSTOCK
APO-GRANDAGONS .
Their major strength , as per RODENSTOCK , is not the digital capture .
You use a PHASE ONE IQ160 . Can you please tell , how is the image quality regarding light fall off , resolution and sharpness ? ? ?

Hi Jürgen -

The 35 and 45 are Apo-Grandagons and the 75 is a Grandagon-N. The 75 is used primarily with the extender, and that's the setup in the photographs. I needed the larger image circle of the 75 for a job, and that was on the camera at the moment. Otherwise, the 45 is on the camera most of the time.

It doesn't seem that there would be much difference between a 35 and 45, but in fact this 35 is significantly wider. I use the 35 occasionally. The exposure falloff and distortion are obvious, compared to the 45 which is visually almost non-existent, probably because of the large image circle relative to the IQ160 format. The 75 is flat as a board, and I don't see a difference in image quality between it and the 45. Both are really exceptional in my experience.

The scenic image I've uploaded is from a TIF for a 22 X 31" print. It's a "vertical pano" sequence of three images stitched in Photoshop. Shot with the 45 and IQ160 back.

Hello,

I have a 12 TC that I like a lot, but I would appreciate the vertical shift of the SWA. I was a bit afraid that the size of the SWA would make it really more difficult to travel with. That's not so obvious in this picture.
What is your opinion ?
Also the SWA is so gorgeous ...

Thanks
Oliver

Thank you Ken for the explanation .
I use an APO-GRANDAGON 4,5/45mm on my ALPA together with a CFV39/50 and am very satisfied with the results .

I think that too often we strive for optical perfection with the latest digital glass unnecessarily (I'm guilty). When we print vs pixel peep, the older glass still produces super results.
