p.1 #5 · Bellows shades for 35mm? | |
Update:
I received my Mamiya bellow hood today.
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.
