Am I? An 80mm MF lens would give a FOV roughly equal to a 120mm in a standard DSLR lens on full frame. A 35mm MF lens would get me a FOV equal to about 53mm on the sensor. The difference would be that it will likely have a closer minimum focusing distance which would have additional benefits as I see it.
For my uses the biggest issues I see are the shadowing that can be caused by the DSLR flange during extreme movements and possibly chromatic aberration using wide angle lenses. I don't need any adapters from China as I am a capable machinist with my own shop. In fact, that is part of the reason I want to do this project. I haven't made anything interesting in the shop in a while.
