My apologies, I should have been more clear.
I am part of a Facebook group called Digital Camera Obscura and it is basically all about taking a digital image of the projection that is created from a Large Format lens (usually 8 x 10). For me, this is about the shallow DOF you get with such lenses and also the ability to be able to use movements.
I have been tinkering with my version of this for a while but have found it hard to focus, so am thinking that using the Ground Glass of an actual 8 x 10 camera would be ideal. To make this work, I would need to swap out the front lens board for a longer one (hence the question about asking about front fall) and have a secondary hole cut out that would allow the digital camera pointing back towards the Ground Glass. I would also need to have a different bellows made to accomodate this new standard. I would also need to load a dark slide with some paper/material that would show the projected image.
Thats about it really. The digital lens I will be using is a Fuji GFX 32-64mm and is a 77mm filter thread, so I think I need at least 100mm of space..
This may not be possible with a field camera but thought I would check.. I can make it work with a monorail as I can place the rear standard higher and therefore the front standard, to create enough room below.
Hope this makes sense! I know it is not a pure form of Large Format and for anybody who finds what I am doing silly, that is ok with me... Would still like your advice though
Thanks in advance!
