Jones Longshot

My experience with them was the complete opposite and I have no desire to do business with them again.

I have expirimented with doing this a couple of different ways. I have a Rode wireless go II set. Each of the transmitters has a mic in (3.5mm) jack. Plugging the output of the stereo signal into ...

What are the images on the left and the images on the right? Are they before and after?

Could you expand your explanation of this a bit?

I purchased a Z6 ii with this lens as a package. My thoughts were that I would have a useful range lens that I would be able to use until I knew what other lenses I would want to switch to. I find ...

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. Jones

Igrexa de Santa Maria de Muxia. From a photo outing in Muxia a few days ago. A beautiful town on the Costa da Morte (Coast of Death) on the north west coast of Spain. There are so many gems like ...

Alan, My adventure buddy is surprisingly calm and a joy to have along. Although much less "help" with the photographic part of adventuring. I shared the seascape because it was the only image made ...

From what is likely to be the last photographic outing of 2022 for us. We spent the day in Muxia on the Coast of Death (Costa da Morte.) This image is looking toward the Santuario da Virxe da ...

I have one of the APS-C stitching backs from Fotodiox  and it's really quite well made. It uses 8 frames to cover a 645 format and fits in a Graflok back. I find there are advantages to using flat ...

Nikon 85mm f/1.8 D 9 frames stitched. Not for shallow DOF. Just to have a larger image to work with for editing. I find that I just like using this lens. I have to use the Nikon FTZ adapter which I ...

Thanks for commenting. Most comparisons I have seen are at the same aperture, which makes sense. If you think about these as each lens shot wide open I think the comparison also makes sense. I did ...

Really like these. Thanks for posting them.

I got some great advice here on adapting a Polaroid lens to use on my Nikon Z6ii. While I was playing around and evaluating it, fferreres started a thread about beautiful rendering. And then I ...

Enna Ennit 127mm f/4.7 First attempt at light painting. Enna Ennit 127mm f/4.7 from a Polaroid 110A adapted to my Nikon Z6 II using Canon bellows. 15 different 30 second exposures @ f/22 combined ...

I'm a big fan of using the center of lenses like this unless the characteristics of the edge rendering are important.  I found this lens to perform nicely for flat stitching where more of the ...

I agree. I can't really see using this lens for general photography. Maybe for flat stitching of "normal" FOV scenes but even then I feel I have better options. I think this one is better suited to ...

I don't yet have the adapter but found that the retaining ring on the lens allows it to fit onto my bellows without any issues. That allowed me to give the lens a quick test. Here is what I have ...

In 1980 I got my hands on a 110A with a Rodenstock Ysarex 127mm. That camera became my first conversion attempt. I mounted a Polaroid sheet film holder on it and tried to use it as a hand held ...

Joseph, Thanks for the insights. I have almost never used the helicoid and so never noticed the flare. I just did a quick test with the bellows vs the helicoid and wow, what a difference. There is ...
