Re: Reversing digital lenses

I tried it with a pentax dfa 24-70/2.8 andit works. It is an adapter to use pentax lenses on four thirds.

Re: Reversing digital lenses

I know canon has an adapter like that.

I sometimes reverse a 24mm reversed on a 100mm. The these electronic pass trough wil not help.

Reversing digital lenses

I just discovered a trick to control the diaframa on a reversed digital lens.

If you use a mount adapter with a lever to control the F-stop you can use this on the bayonet of a reversed lens.

Corpse... Plus visitor

Not exactly studio nor nature. I call it my outdoor studio.
Working in my greenhouse gives fine light (chalk shading)

110 frames. Gx80 + Olympus 60 macro and 26 extension tubes.

The mite was alive, i was lucky it did not move too much.

Re: Full Frame or Medium Format?

Guido, thanks for the information about your Pentax pixel-shift speeds. Can I ask what card you are using?
Scandisk ultra SDHC I

Another thing to watch out is to use both your memory cards together. I slows the processing down.

Re: Full Frame or Medium Format?

Pixel shift is a lot faster on my k1. ONm the Pentax k1 it is about 16-17s though it depends on the card speed. That's 4-image pixel shifting, which does not change the pixel dimensions, though it does eliminate the significant loss of resolution due to the Bayer filters. I just tried it: All toghe...

Re: Full Frame or Medium Format?

The people chasing insects in nature mostly perform not very good with full frame. Mostly resulting in very strong crop's. My forum/web results are better with four thirds then with my FF.
