Hi !
First, let me tell you I know nothing about large format view camera, apart reading lot of articles these last weeks. I use 35mm EOS-D and am thinking about adapting one on a sinar F1 or P2 (the P2 seems easier to adapt, meaning puting back the DSLR sensor on film focal plane to keep angles, focus and such, but is more expensive). I'm about building a plate to put the dslr back to center its sensor, but I'v seen on sinar documentation that a 0.3mm back or front is really horrible for result. So will I need such precision if I want to use scheimpflug rule with reading angles on standards ?
Now, if I follow this road, I will need some LF lenses that allow movements (which is indeed why I'm interested in such system) but don't want poor lenses in resolution. I will use around 16mp FF 35mm sensor and don't want inferior resolution than with Canon L primes.
So, without going to HR digital LF lenses which are very expensive, what would be some good lenses for such use ? Seems symmar 180 APO and Schneider super angulon 90 f/8 are good and not too expensive ? I would have 50mm, 85mm, and maybe 135mm perspective equivalent on 24x36. So I guess I will need a 150mm to have field of view of a 50mm 24x36, but I will keep perspective/deformation from a 150mm as focal lenght doesn't change with the format, right ? So maybe a 90mm would be a good starting lense. Which one should I look for on ebay to get a relatively high resolution one in let's say 150/250€ price range ?
Thanks for any information,
Nicolas
