Digital Bellows 135mm F5.6 Planar-S.

[Daniel Unkefer]

My Hasselblad Bellows with 135mm F5.6 Planar-S, with Sony Nex-3 Body and Adapters. This is a combination that will get alot of use in the future, for me. Approx 216mm lens with 1.6 crop factor, image looks great on the Nex screen. I can handhold this rig easily.

Some quick results, at EI 1600. Held the rig down, while firing the Nex body. It works well. My 50mm F2.8 V1 Leitz Elmar, also with Nex adapter.

Why handheld?

This kind of photography begs for a strong tripod

Handheld, camera was also laying on same tabletop. Very quick shot, didn't want to break out alot of gear. Even my FOBA tabletop tripod would have raised my shooting angle (in this case) by eight inches or so. I wanted a lower viewpoint, and this worked.

In my studio I use a massive Plaubel Camera Stand. That would support the front end of one of my cars

Some Mathematics.

Hasselblad CFV = $3500US if you are lucky.

Sony Nex-3 Body = $350US.

The Nex will have to do for a while.
