Ok this system costs WAY too much money, but wow...this looks interesting.
The thought of using this for super macro or using my camera(s) as a view camera with all the movements a large format camera has really set my GAS meter off.
I would have to think that using large format lenses would easily resolve the canon and other camera bodies I have.
Here's a video (unfortunately not many images on it, but show the system) of the CA using Canon: (the second video show better actual action of the unit)
Cambo Actus-G & Canon EOS R + EOS R VS GFX50s
This is it more in action, but with a non-canon body, but the movements and shifting look VERY interesting to me:
Cambo Actus and Fuji GFX50s Review
But geez, this thing costs as much as a really nice new digital camera itself....
I've been trying to figure out a better cost effective way of doing this.
I thought perhaps I could get an Intrepid 4x5 camera, about $320 or so US....get some sort of EF to 4x5 graflex adapter (I think I've seen fotodiox sell these?)....and I could do something like this for about $500-$600....but the movements aren't as precise and easy to control...
Ugh, this thing would be about $4K for me to get fully set up....but I could then shoot it with my 5d3 and my Leica m10m and gfx100....
Anyway..had anyone used anything like this?
I have to think using your digital back like a view camera with all the movements, and extreme macro you could squeeze out of it and using a huge number of lenses out there, not terribly expensive could really give a lot of creative possibilities.
Thoughts? Links? Advice? Experience?
Thank you in advance, thought this an interesting topic...especially with the new Canons coming out with larger MP sensors.
