New 75mm Hypergon Lens

[rayfor]

To lens maker: I do think a simple 3D printed camera body for this lens will make it sells better. Consider make one.

There is one already. You can find it on the same web store

I'm happy to se users posting pictures. That is ridiculously wide- yesterday I had my 4x5 out with my rarely-used 75mm lens, and the prospect of that focal length on 8x10 is is truly amazing.

One day I’ll post some of the 4x5 shots I’ve taken at 25mm (pinhole). Now THAT is wide, lol!

I bought this, also mentioned by the new Hypergon maker: https://elevanfilm.com/product/eco810ss/

Its advantage over a 3D printed camera is that you get some movements (raise / fall with ease, front tilt also possible but hard to control). Not to mention you can swap the lens and go up to a 150 or 165mm lens, although I think of using this just for the hypergon.

That's an interesting camera. Thanks for mentioning it!

Thanks. Is it possible to purchase a 3D printed hypergon sinar lensboard with the camera? I don't see it possible at the store.

Think I will go for this, and yes I think I am using this just for that lens as you do. Thanks.

Maybe this Ebay seller could do a 75mm version of his camera...

Would be reasonably easy to DIY modify one. On those cameras, the pinhole is drilled in a brownie pan, it's only held on by 8 screws so replacing the pan with a 3D printed cone for the 75mm would be a breeze. That said, the tripod mounts are super sketchy so I'd look into replacing them with Arca plates before you slap on a shiny new Hypergon.

Hello

@rayfor
please, can you give us distance from "flange" to image for infini landscape?
Thanks

I have not done much with the lens as the film I bought to use with the lens was too fast.

Guess what I did here:

Calculations finished.
I exposed the film with the sensitometer from the front and back side. Therefore, using the film base as a 'behind lens' neutral density filter.

The film base reduced exposure by about 3 stops.

So, tomorrow I'll load up some film holders with the film emulsion side away from the lens and over expose 3 stops.
