Mamiya 75mm Shift Lens Manual Focus

Tilt Shift Lens

For the last few years I’ve gone through phases of looking at large-format cameras on the web; the attractions being the larger negative and, more importantly, movements.

I’ve admired the images of top photographers such as Joe Cornish and David Ward, with their front-to-back sharpness, and wanted to achieve the same effects. However I’ve held back from large format because of the amount of extra equipment I’d need: • the camera • at least two lenses, one “standard” and one wide angle • dark slides • a loupe • a dark cloth • a different developing tank and spirals • for darkroom prints, a new enlarger, which might not even fit into the space available The next step in my thinking was that perhaps I could achieve what I wanted by using a roll-film back on a view camera.

I reasoned that the bigger negative wasn’t really essential. Blackmoon War Zone Zip there. I get enough quality for my purposes from the 6*7 negatives in my Mamiya RZ67 (actually they are more like 56mm * 69mm). I’ve never looked at one of those images and thought “I really need more resolution”. Using a roll film back on a view camera would obviate the need for new spirals and a new enlarger; the film would be cheaper too. There is even an adapter that would allow me to use my existing RZ67 backs on a large format camera. But the stumbling block, apart from other demands on time and money, was that to get a wide-angle view would require buying a new lens such as a 47mm or 65mm. Whilst large format 90mm lens can be picked up at reasonable prices, the wider lenses – which would be a super wide on 4*5 but just fairly wide on 6*7 – tend to be a lot more expensive.
