5x7 fisheye???

[Panoman617]

Does anyone know if someone made like a 16mm for 35mm for a 5x7 camera? I've got an upcoming project and would like to shoot it with a fisheye type lens.

Thanks

If this is B&W then the best way may be to enlarge a 35mm negative on to positive ortho 5x7 film.

Some years ago I acquired one of those fish eye attachments designed to fit the front of a 35mm camera lens, slight with a standard lens much wider if on a WA lens. I tried it on a Mamiya 645 about 10 years ago with quite interesting results.

One day I'll try it on one of my LF cameras. I guess Spiratone sold them in the US but I'm not sure if they are still made. They sell for peanuts second hand so worth a try

It appears they are still made, there's plenty on Ebay.

They work just as well on MF & LF cameras depite being sold for digital & videwo cameras these days. Just don't expect the highest resolution

get one of the 72xl's, IIRC, that'll be around a ~20mm FOV on 35mm

there's probably some short dagor or other european lenses that might cover 5x7, not sure though

20mm on 35mm, as a reference to 4x5.

More like a 14mm on 5x7...

Clyde butcher uses a 72XL on 5x7, and he likes wide lenses

If you want a very wide lens that will produce a circle on a piece of 57 film try the 55mm Apo Grandagon. That will give you a field of view of 110° within the circle. The circle will be 163mm in diameter for the area of best definition. Want it wider? Then try the 35mm Apo Gradagon. That will result in a smaller circle but 120° FOV.

Wouldn't a 120 degree 47mm Super Angulon be a better recommendation?

Neither of those lenses will give the fisheye type image it seems the OP wants.
