Field camera with rear shift/rise?

[Atracksler]

I love my toyo 45a.

I wish it had some rear movements for some work I'm doing with a dslr home brew back.

Are there any folding field cameras with rear shift and or rise/fall?

Wista 45DX3. Technika has limited rear movements.

[Jeff Keller]

Canham DLC folds up to be quite compact. Has very good movements and the standard bellows has a wide range.

A sublime camera, but no rear rise/fall. See http://www.canhamcameras.com/DLC2.html

Linhof Technika, at least the model V. Dunno about earlier
.

Linhof TechniKardan have full movements and 20" of telescoping rail.

Indeed, it is a very supple camera but is it really a field camera?

Wisner Technical Field. I never use it, but it's there.

Shen Hao HZX 45A, full movements, including 7cm bed tracking.

has no rear shift.

The only camera with rear rear shift+rise is a technikardan, which only kind of a field camera, aside from the Shen Hao HKZ as noted above.

"F" stands for field, right? :rolleyes:

Teechnikardans are just a little bulkier and a little heavier than what most people think of as field cameras, but they make up for that by being oh so versatile and precise. TKs would not be my first choice if I was backpacking, which I personally don't do, but for just about anything else I think they're great cameras. I smile every time I use mine.

Richard, just to make my prejudice clear - I consider a field camera as one that closes upon itself within a 'clam shell' being my personal favorite. No big thing.

Rittreck cameras have rear shifts. Tachihara and Wista have rear swings.

Burke & James flatbed. Lots of both on the back. The one below is 5x7 but the 4x5 is similar.

Walker Titan SF 4x5 has rear shift. No rear rise. I can't think of a field camera that has both. Of course, that does not mean it does not exist.

[Ken Lee]

Several Ebony folding wooden field cameras have rear shift, tilt and rise. See http://www.ebonycamera.com/cam.html

Several Shen-Hao cameras (which resemble Ebony cameras) also have rear shift, tilt and rise. See http://www.shen-hao.com/

[Peter Lewin]

Can't you get rear rise and fall indirectly by tilting the bed, and then titling both standards to vertical (or playing with Scheimpflug)? That would open your search to field cameras with back shift, which for example includes the Canham DLC.

I agree, it's not that much bigger than my Technika but it's incredibly versatile. It's also faster to set up than many cameras, especially wood or composite field cameras without center detents. It also folds with a lens mounted. I sold mine a while back because I figured my MT2000 could do everything I need. But I missed it and recently bought another. Which brings up another point, they're really cheap right now. I paid around 60% of what I sold mine for a few years ago, and the one I bought is nicer than my old one was!

Have you considered some kind of sliding back? I think you can find them on eBay.

If you're going to stick a DSLR on the back of a view camera and expect any kind of precision or repeatability, it better be a pretty sturdy view camera!

The Lotus has rear movements too - http://www.lotusviewcamera.at/cameras/lovica_4x5_e.html

My lovely Wista DX has rear shift.

[jbenedict]

Remember: Front swing plus rear swing = rear shift. Front tilt plus rear tilt = rear rise. The Toyo 45A has both. Will it be enough? Is it inconvenient for you? Your decision.

[tgtaylor]

Rear rise and fall is the opposite but equivalent effect as the same movement on the front. Likewise rear shift is the opposite but equivalent to front shift. So while all of the Toyo fields AFAIK do not have rear rise/fall or shift, they do have front rise/fall and shift. Rise/fall and shift does not change perspective.

Example: Front rise is the same as rear fall.

You've got a lot of good answers here already. I'll just raise one issue, based on the assumption that what you are trying to do is move your dslr around in the image circle to be able to do some stitching. If that's the case, the limited back movements on all of the cameras that do have them will likely not give you much coverage. You'd be better off building some kind of vertical and horizontal shift mechanism into your "home-brew back." Maybe just a plate that you can take out and remount to put the dslr mounting hole in each corner.

Best,
