Amicalola Creek, Fall 2022
Speed Graphic, modded with Pentax 67 35mm f/4.5 fisheye, at f/22 with yellow filter on T-Max 100 dev'd in Acufine:

This lens was mounted using a 3D printed adapter (thanks to LargeSense Camera for providing the file that was edited and printed by Zebra Dry Plates). Camera was taken apart and the bed physically bent to get out of the way of the image circle. Still debating ripping it off entirely. Since the FFD of all P67 lenses are the same, I can use any of them on this 4x5 - I've heard some cover or nearly cover, so I'll try all of mine at some point, but the 35mm was my main interest. This was one of the first test images I made this afternoon. Especially interested in doing some architectural shots with this camera.

Very very good! This is top craftmanship, combined with a very well succeeded original and artistic result; a rare combination. Incredible, rarely seen depth and 3D effect. Congrats
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nice Bryan!
OK...here's a mind-bending question: what if you mounted two of these Pentax fisheye lenses on a board and placed them in front of a long-format camera - for "fisheye stereo" images? You could probably also cobble together some optics from a supply house (like Edmund Optics) to best take advantage of the specific properties of the images in creating a fisheye stereo viewing device?
Further thought - I'd imagine that in the above scenario the interocular distance would (due to lens front diameters) be significantly further apart than that of most human eyes and thus the 3-D effect would be further exaggerated...could be great!
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thank you both! John, it sounds like you are starting to describe VR goggles :). I would imagine the 180 degree FOV would be exceedingly disorienting.

Wow! I'm gobsmacked!
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Bryan...did you incorporate some sort of intermediately adapted shutter into your Pentax lens to LF interface...or simply use the "lens cap method" by which to make your exposure?
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Bryan great shot. All you need are snowflakes floating around in the globe.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Hi John - nope, I am using the Speed Graphic's focal plane shutter (take a look at my Instagram for a pic of the camera, second image in the first post). Though for this image I probably could've used a lens cap - the exposure was 3.5 minutes. So much is in the frame that I would be hesitant to do that though - I would not be surprised to see a blurred arm in the photo.
Thanks Alan. We'll see if snow comes this year :).
