This allowed me to look at an area that is closer to the horizontal edge of a normal 6圆 frame.Īn 18MB to 19MB DCR (RAW) file is saved to the memory card and then converted into a 48.5MB TIFF file using Kodak's DCS Photo Desk software. Because this is still only 85% the area of a 6圆 film frame, I rotated the camera 45-degrees so the captured images are diamond shaped. The Kodak Pro Back 645 has a 36.72mm x 36.72mm sensor and produces an image that is 4072 x 4072 pixels. Size of the Kodak Pro Back 645 CCD sensor: This was a point of contention regarding the first round of tests, since the Canon D-SLR I used has an APS-sized sensor and was not necessarily designed to work with medium format lenses and their larger image circles. What this allowed me to do is put my lenses onto a medium format camera and digital back that is known to work exceptionally well with existing "non-digital" medium format lenses. Thanks to the good people at Eastman Kodak Company's Digital & Film Imaging Systems I was able to re-test my lenses using a Contax 645 and Kodak Pro Back 645. Kiev / Hartblei / Pentacon 6 / Exakta 66 / Hasselblad / Bronica Lens Tests I've contact the man and asked for a (pre-production) adapter to try… Watch the video, the man is working on more adapters to "link" almost everything that can be linked physically as far as image area and mount distance permits it… I wish him the best of success, he may prove a "life saviour" for more photographers.| Kievaholic Klub - Kiev / Hartblei / Pentacon 6 / Exakta 66 / Hasselblad / Bronica Lens Tests | Integrate both MF and DSLR systems to make them acting as one, thus saving extra "back up" camera bodies.īut what about a Nikon user that also uses Conta圆45 as I am? Is he the "son of a lesser God?…Why can't he have the same flexibility? …The excuse was (up to now) the aperture coupling, which is electronic with Canon (just like Contax), as of mechanical with Nikon… But this man has solved the problem… Reduce bulk considerably when they have a common project where both MF and DSLR equipment is needed for different parts of it,ģ. Use common lenses on both their systems,Ģ. Thus, a Canon user that also uses a C645 system may share his brilliant 80mm f2 Zeiss for portraiture, his outstanding 120mm f4 APO macro for macro work or any other superb Zeiss glass from 35mm up to 350mm… More than that, he will save (much) cost and space by:ġ. Conorus (a Canadian company) is a "life saviour" for C645 users that also use Canon DSLRs, it gives them the opportunity to save a fortune by providing them with an adapter so that the user can use all his Conta圆45 lenses, with full dedication of aperture coupling, AF, Exif data and modes as if they where a dedicated Canon lens!
