It works very well, but weighs 11 pounds with the two big fisheye lenses. I tried it first with just the bottom half... please take a look at: http://www.half-fast.com/ But it was too difficult in use... composing, then trying to close down the iris while at the same time keeping it in position. Same with loading the film holder into the back and setting and winding the shutter. That worked ok with a tripod except that a good part of the tripod showed up in the resulting photo. So, I turned it into a poor man's TLR. Much easier to shoot but, did I tell you it's heavy? ;-) Jim On 10/9/12 7:01 PM, Jim Nichols wrote: > Gotta love that camera rig, Jim. > > Jim Nichols > Tullahoma, TN USA > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Hemenway" <jim at hemenway.com> > To: "LUG" <lug at leica-users.org> > Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2012 5:54 PM > Subject: [Leica] Concord Center, MA > > >> I took this shot last Friday in Concord Center. >> http://www.hemenway.com/10052012-Fishflex-Ekta100-Concord%20Ctr.jpg >> >> Here's the camera... 4x5 fisheye twin lens reflex: >> http://www.half-fast.com/FishFlex.jpg >> >> I also took some with the 11x14 but just received the processed film >> late today and haven't had a chance to scan them. >> >> It's the same scene that I showed about a week+ ago taken with my >> Pentax K10D: >> >> Jim >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Leica Users Group. >> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >> >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
