Reading an article on Outdoor Photography on Novoflex lens adapters. I searched the archives and couldn't find anything related that address the adapting of Medium format lenses to a DSLR. What are the advantages/disadantges? I'm specifically looking to adapt Mamiya 645 lenses to a Nikon. Novoflex does list this adapter combination.

Back in the 80's I went on a photo workshop in Ireland. I lugged a home made 4X5 a 6X4.5 and a 35mm. My experience then was that I shot about 15 to 20 shots on the 4X5 and printed about 10. Approx 75 on the medium format and a bunch on the 35mm (slides) The 4X5 were time consuming,composed shots. My best one (4X5) was in the Cleveland Museum of Art May Show in 1981. The medium format were well thought out shots and the 35mm were, I'm here and, this is what I saw. Shooting digital today I tend to think the majority of my shots out but when I'm with my grandsons I fire away and then choose from the best. There fast little guys and I hate to miss a shot.

Tim, couldn't have said it better myself.

Whole new meaning to Shooting the Moon. Nice shot

I'm still using PhotoShop 7 so I'm not sure if any of these programs will work with it. I did have stitch at one time but lost it when I upgraded computers. I've just been doing it manually. Like I said sometimes cumbersome but it works. Thanks for the info I'll check out those programs.

I have been using this technique (scanning half at a time) for quite awhile with good success. I do however find a slight misalignment problem that I have to tweak by transforming the image edges. A little practice as to the best way to do this usually solves the problem but it still is a little time consuming.

Enjoyed the story very much.

The advice on Bounce is all correct. It does however leave a shadow around the eyes that on some (depth of eye socket) can be bothersome. When I use a bounce I add a small white reflector card to my flash and this kicks in just enough light to soften that shadow.

I was not aware of this exchange until today and thanks to the individual who supplied the link so I could review what has transpired. Sometimes those who protest the most are the one that have something to hide or are ashamed of in their lives. I would suggest a thorough exam for Jackinthebox I think he/she sees things that are not there.

I was just going to post the same type of comment. 600dpi is pretty high resolution.

The big problem with your correction is you corrected one object and sent two others in the opposite direction. The one that really bothers me in this is the jar with oil in the middle with the liquid level going down hill. Possibly correct in PS similar to the way you would do it with a large format camera.
