Does anyone knows if it exist an adapter suitable for the purpouse? Something like this  but fitting the 4 inches squared board? I'm considering about designing it and 3dprinting it, but I think it will interfere with the possibility of closing the camera.. |

Thanks for the nice suggestion, but I was already aware of the existance of technical cameras. I have a nice collection of vintage barrel lenses and projector lenses. Some are too "short" for my mentor reflex studio (minimal focal lenght around 180mm, since it haves a mirror). So i bought a speed graphic, since it seemed the only relatevely modern fieldish camera easily avaible with a focal plane shutter. I'm almost considering to get a mentor studio 13x18, a metal field/technical camera with a double courtain (slow) focal plane shutter and with movements, but the weight ,the fact that I will very probably make a new back, and possible problems with the sophisticate shutter kept me away from it. As many, I'm really fashinated by the idead of being able to recreate a look "à la Burnett" , that I believe he obtained using some tilt mouvements  |
