The New Pictorialism

I've started a new blog about old lenses and new pixels:

The New Pictorialism (http://thenewpictorialism.blogspot.com/)

I hope you'll give it a read!

Thanks.

Thank you, Dan. I'll try not to steal too much from your wonderful site!:rolleyes:

aah - I just finished a short course with mostly digital photographers.... I explained the possibillities of combining the use of old lenses with digital cameras, but this page would have been so more illustrative (pun intented)..

I'll make sure to use it next time. Good work Bruce (even though I'll never use that combo my self..)

I love the idea of having a wedding between the old and the new worlds - not the usual war ...

Interesting, Bruce. I look forward to reading more.
So does this make you a Digitorialist or a Pixtorialist?

Most excellent! And I agree with Dan; the image Descending... at the blog's title page shows the atmospherics of the old lenses in a timeless and wonderful way..

Yes! I did the same thing to mount a Verito lens to a Pentax 67.

I have a Nikon D300 and have been considering doing something like this with an old Nikon macro bellows. Think it would work?

Thanks, Mark. That lens is my Pinkham & Smith Visual Quality M.P. lens. It really is a wonder!

Hi Kent,

It will work well with the sliding back, but I find that the full-frame sensor size is better for the bellows-style mounting without a sliding back, because it covers more area.

The APS size is actually better for the Camerafusion back, because the mirror box doesn't throw shadows like the full-frame D3 sometimes does at the edge of the 4x5 image area. I use the D3 in the DX crop mode often on the Camerafusion back, which avoids the shadow problem.
