Nice. I also got myself a KaptureGroup TrueWide two years ago bc I wanted to use my Laowa 15mm shift in Nikon mount with my Hasselblad Back. The image circle of that 15mm is gigantic and the retrofocus design of the lens works great with the digital back. It's a nice combo albeit a bit niche.

Do you find that the internal mechanisms of the camera produce some vignetting on the corners despite the generous image circle? I have this problem with some lenses, especially when using movements.

@@bogamanz Yes, the Copal 3 shutter is definitely not large enough and vignettes a bit even without movements. If I had the time and money I'd get myself a Sinar Hinterlinsenverschluss, mount the back on that thing and figure out a way to add a lens adapter to it. Flange wise it should work.

@@bogamanz BTW if I remember correctly, the TrueWide was designed for 6mp 24x36 sensors of the Phase One H10 series. So no wonder it doesn't work perfectly. And there's also v mount to Sinar adapter plates all over eBay. Or at least there used to be. So one would only need to worry about the lens mount.

@MaxKissler Thanks for sharing this important context. Pining this thread for future viewers, this setup has disadvantages compared to say the Linhof setup I show at the end of the video, but is cheap and durable..

@@bogamanzSince I'm using a Leaf Aptus II 7 I don't have the option of using a system without mechanical shutter. So the Linhof wouldn't be an option as there is no way such a short focal length could be used on the Linhof especially not with a shutter in between. It's more of fun project though. There's hardly ever a need for me to shoot this wider than 15mm on FF. Cheers!

You’re a damn genius.

This thing is gorgeous . Where do I get a back like that

I’ve always been curious about this thing. I don’t think they made them from Hasselblad H mount backs.

This is great! I had been thinking of building something similar for my cfvii 50c. Can you please share the link to the Hasselblad V back adapter plate you mentioned at the end of the video? The adapter plates I have found so far are too expensive

Of course! What kind of camera do you have? E.g., are you looking for a 4x5 graflok back version? Is a sliding feature important to you? Overall, the Jieyling brand is solid.

I am planning to build a 4x5 camera (or get one if I can't make one). Aim is to get significant tilt-shift capabilities. So a 4x5 graflok back should be best for the cfvii 50c. A sliding feature is not necessary, but maybe helpful for panoramas. The back adapter on your camera at the end seems very interesting. I tried looking for jieyling on AliExpress but couldn't find anything relevant. Any links you can share would be really helpful.
