New 75mm Hypergon Lens

[rayfor]

I don’t see the ECO810ss available on the website yet… is it still coming soon?

It's available now.

Here are a few older images made with the 75mm Hypergon on 8x10. I haven't used it much, but hope to get back to it as time allows...

Thanks! It has an interesting warping effect. Wide indeed. I am guessing you did not have to do adjustments to get the trees vertical because of the lens design. Would that be right?

Also one of your comments mentions that you need three separate releases to fire the lens and use the fan at the same time...how did you accomplish this? Comments reproduced below:

You'll need one air bulb to blow the little "fan", and a second bulb or cable release to release the little fan to fall away during the exposure. With an angle of view that wide, reaching in to release it would put your hand in the image. A Packard shutter would require yet another air bulb, so up to three separate releases.

So glad I have three hands

Hello
normally, my 75mm is on the way...
is it possible to have 75mm step file in order to design a mount for Copal-Sinar shutter?
It will be hot but maybe not impossible...
here you can see a cut of SINAR S2 with Copal-Sinar shutter and 135° blue light path

Thanks

Actually I've already provided the mount for copal-sinar DB shutter. You can find it on my printables. But Sinar DB is not thin enough so that it will block the corners if you shoot 8x10.

You sill need to adjust the camera parallol to those trees if you want to get rid of perspective distortion. But hypergon provide almost zero distortion, which means those trees will be straight. As for the fan, you can control lens cap as shutter with one hand and blower for the fan with the other hand.

Mark, I saw a thread from '04 where you mentioned that you bought a 75mm Goerz Hypergon. Have you already shared many images from that lens? Any threads you could point to?

Actually I've put some photos on other SNSs, I will also add some image onto elevan's website and this thread later.

If you look, the trees aren't quite vertical. The needed movements would have put them slightly out-of-focus, so I just let the lens do what it does. It's remarkable that it can stay rectilinear at that wide an angle.

I just used two releases, an air bulb to spin the fan, and a regular cable release to drop the fan away. I didn't need a third for the Packard shutter, as I just used a black box as a lens-cap style shutter. Manual override, as it were.

At least you have a tracking number. I am still waiting for one.
