I guess Ill have to learn how to straighten walls in PS
Daniel.
Hi
I was reading your thread and thought I'd share an awesome technique for straightening walls. ITs easy and works any versions of PS that has free transform
1 create a duplicate layer
2 control T for free transform
3 pull the middle dot thingy down so it sits at the middle point of the bottom of the frame
4 Holding control, stretch the top corners to taste
5 Stretch it up a little from the middle top point to get it looking right
6 flatten
I hope that makes sense. If not, just buy Scott Kelbys PS for Digital Photographers. All my good stuff comes from there (just dont tell anyone)
Heres the result after some quick stretching. http://dwphoto.smugmug.com/photos/38501580-S.jpg
Fotodiox is a pretty good dealer. There consumer grade adapter looks no different from the no name ones on ebay. I would highly recommend their pro grade one instead. It's all black to eliminate internal lens reflections and I find it rock solid with no movement when mounted. They also make a very good Leica to EOS adapter but I've had problems with their Contax to EOS adapter having a weak lens lock & can't recommend that one.

Quite nice results. I still find it quite funny that it is possible to use most Nikkors on Canon bodies without problems, but can't use FD lenses without putting an extra glass element in between, thus reducing quality.
Not all 35mm reflex cameras have the same distance from the lens flange to the film plane. This distance is known as "flange back" or "flange to film". It was merely serendipitous that EOS bodies have the shortest distance of modern reflex cameras. Because of this, an EOS user can use any lens that has a longer flange to film distance, but not a shorter one. It is because the Canon line pre-EOS had a shorter flange to film distance that makes those lenses unusable on EOS.
