Re: Large Format Digital Photography

I envy you your year-round warmth in Arizona.  Do you have comparisons of what you shot using your method and shooting natively through the A7R?  Sounds interesting!  I've thought about the same thing using pixel-shift on each frame (though I understand that's more of a trick to reduce bayer distortions).

I started with a Graflex back.  Then created a Cambo back (for full tilt-shift), then a robotic version, then a complete camera.  I've built 20-30 full systems by now.  Now I'm going back to the Graflex, then Cambo.  I'm trying to make them good enough to offer to other photographers.  It's a knuckle-scraping learning process in design and small-scale manufacture.  I now understand why so many large-format camera start-ups come and go   I've been on this project on and off for 2 1/2 years.  Maybe one day it will be fun again

Anyway, if all goes well, I might have a new back ready that would work on your camera if you're interested.  I need other photographers to help me think through some issues.  As you know, this is a complex process from start to finish, so the more one has experience in the overall issues the better chance of their success with my gadget.
