645D and Novoflex tilt/shift bellows

Femtometer · 04-24-2012, 06:21 AM

Hello,

I'm new to the 645D and I wanted to know if anyone has used one of the P645 versions and the Novoflex tilt/shift bellows. I was considering picking one up and using some of the 67 lenses to start, but also some of my 645 lenses.

I was concerned that some of the more aggresive tilt angles might be a cause for concern, but also if there might be lens suggestions (67 and/or 645).

Thanks in advance (TIA)......

The Novoflax bellows will only give you infinity focus with enlarger lenses of about 100mm and up. Those lenses will have an image circle large enough for the 645D with movements. 67 lenses will have a larger enough image circle for the bellows movements, but they most likely will not have infinity focus. If you want shift with 67 lens and infinity focus, the Zork shift adapter seems the only choice right now.

Ah, okay; thanks for the help. I was seeing that the Zoerk MFS system used enlarger lenses, but then I saw the 67 lens adapter for the Novoflex and thought that might be too easy. I'm going to have to check out the MFS system.

Thanks again!

The Zork adapter is only shift for 67 lenses, but tilt with enlarger lenses.

I am hoping Cambo and Horseman will offer something for Pentax 645 cameras. The Cambo X2 looks interesting.
