Re: Fun with a Canon FD 35mm f/2.8 TS on APS-C


What, you think 54MP isn’t enough? No problem! If you have a shift adapter (you can’t do this next trick with a non-shift adapter), then you can make a four shot panorama that produces an almost 70MP file with finished dimensions of approximately 6800 x 10200 pixels and an angle of view equivalent to around 21mm on APS-C. To make the landscape version, you’d combine shots as follows: shift -8mm, rise +5mm; shift +8mm, rise +5mm, shift -8mm, fall -5mm, and shift +8mm, fall -5mm. As you can see, you’re not even at the edges of the image circle yet, so there’s room to shift this grouping up, down, left or right a bit if necessary.

You could make an even larger finished file, but you’d need to add more shots if you’re using Lightroom (because it wants around 20% overlap), or you’d need to use a stitching application that allows you to manually assemble the images; with the same four shot grouping you could shift and rise/fall until you filled the whole image circle with those four shots. If you can figure out a way to mount the lens to the tripod in front of the shift mechanism, then you won’t have to worry about parallax at all. This is how Fotodiox’s Vizelex Rhinocam works; the Rhinocam lets you use the entire image circle with no parallax error because it holds the lens in place and you move the sensor around within the image circle.
