Hello all,
Please don't attack me for asking about digital SLRs on this forum. I figure the real architectural photographers are here and will understand what I want. I do use a view camera for architecture normally, but may start working on urban design charrettes, a job that necessitates a lot of fast shooting of buildings and streets, and fast uploading into PowerPoint for immediate presentation. I have already done this with my little Olympus digital camera, and did my perspective correction in Photoshop, but the ability to use my existing Nikon shift lenses (28mm and 35mm) with a digital SLR would be fabulous. As far as I can tell the wonderful and affordable Nikon D100 takes them (with reduced features) but because the sensor is smaller than 35mm, my 28mm becomes a 42mm lens and the 35mm becomes a 52mm. I need the 28mm angle of view. The more expensive Kodak DSC Pro 14n has full-frame 35mm proportions and takes Nikon F-mount lenses, but reviews for its image quality are pretty poor.
Anyone have any brilliant ideas? A view camera is out, I have to work very fast. It has to be digital. At the moment I'm thinking I will have to stick with a non-shift lens and correct them later, but doing this to hundreds of images takes valuable time.
I can live without tilt for this purpose.
Cheers, Sandy
