I dunno if "35mm" is the correct term, but you know, what we now call full-frame cameras.
I'm been experimenting with model & product shoots using an over-exposed white backround. I'm having a bit of trouble with flare, that is, a general loss of contrast.
I would love to have a bellows-type of shade, like they make for MF cameras, but I can't find any.
There's tons of them on eBay. Do a search for Mamiya bellows, and you'll find them. You need the bellows hood and also a filter adapter ring that screws into the lens filter ring and clips onto the bellows hood. Current eBay item 230393383516 has both the bellows and filter ring for 67mm lens thread. You can also get one for a 58mm lens thread, but you can use step rings to hook into the 67mm. There is a photo of my bellows hood on a reversed 80mm f/1.8N lens, on the Mamiya Auto Bellows N system in the first reply on this thread: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/835164
I took me a while to understand how this works. I thought the bellows would attach to the camera, and extend past the lens. That actually makes no sense! (Duh)
I just picked that one up (with the 67mm adapter, perfect for my Zeiss 50mm Makro) for $50 delivered.
I immediately tried it wit my Zeiss 50/2 Makro. Oh, this is NICE!
You can't quite retract it all the way (on a 5D) as the rails hit, but you can definitely pull it back more than enough to clear maximum aperture, so no problems.
Mechanically it seems a little fragile, but it works wonderfully and is easy to lock.
I found right away that it is far superior to the Zeiss stock hood. Wide open, the bellows hood extends slightly more than 2X the depth of the stock hood, before being noticeable. A few quick product shots confirm that I'm getting slightly better contrast with this hood.
It also looks cool, which I sure don't mind.
Jim, so glad you hipped me to it! I strongly recommend something like this to everyone.
