I would like to add one option:
shooting the Fotodiox 4x5 adapter you can increase the FOV and the MPixel by shifting the back standard left-right-up-down in addition to shifting only the Fotodiox adapter.

Been working on the same scenario. I made a 4X5 holder for a 4X6 cm camera and am now adapting it to a 4X5" camera. I like the idea of the cardboard to make it work but I was thinking of attaching the 35mm size camera to a device that would move so I could capture all of the viewing area by moving the camera up or down. I'm sure someone makes something like this. Would be a great boom to large format Imaging by stitching 6 or even 8 or more images together to get poster size images. But there will also be computer power to deal with as these images would be about 500mb or greater in size. Cheers, Sid

I was looking at the Mamiya 645 version but can't figure it out: why does it have apparently two focus screens the same size and do they account for the change in image composition from that focused on the ground glass screen to the film plane or not? The latter would be a bit of a disaster in having to crop and focus again. I've only used straight 5x4 film and 120 in roll film backs. Been a long time away so maybe I'm a 'noob' again.

interesting product and (genuine question): why would I choose this for my FujiFilm GFX 50R to work on my 4x5 when Fuji offers its own adaptor? Besides cheaper price, what's the advantage of your adaptor? Many thanks

Would be great to have the 4x5 adapter for EF-M. Already have the Mamiya 645 to EF-M adapter and I love it!

Do you provide a cap to cover your sensor while attached? I shoot 4x5 film as well as digital. I'm trying to understand why you would go through all this effort when you can just take a pano. I'm also wondering if the older 4x5 lenses can resolve images well on a digital sensor. I would imagine the chroma would be pretty bad.

[michealhall]

Do you offer any guides to aid in composing on the ground glass, so you know what you'll have in the final capture?

Also, do you have anything like this for 8x10?

[josephheroun]

How are the exposure settings handled? Do you match lens settings to the camera settings?

Question. If I Composer with ground Glas. Isnt the digital Sensor of a emount Sensor of Focus Then? There is an additional distance from emount to sensor

[hankfoto]

Thanks! Howevr will it work on EOS 70D?

[maxnagel]

How can I tell which medium format lenses can resolve properly for my digital sensor? Is there a metric I should look for?

[ideaskapetaynan]

Will the Fotodiox 4x5 Adapter match a sinar x 4x5 large format system?

[TobiJenkins]

My understanding is when your DSLR is in landscape and not portrait position (i.e 68x43mm or 88x43mm) when you remove and turn the back and Fotodiox upside down, the DSLR body itsself is upside too on the back. Or do you loosen the nut and rotate the DSLR 180 degrees?

Do you have any Mamiya RZ67 to Sony E-mount converters ??

[shang-hsienyang]

Does using the Sony E mount version allow the use of lenses shorter than 135mm to focus on infinity? Thanks.

I was reading the desciption of "Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter - Canon EOS D/SLR" on the website but it says "These Do not work on 4x5 field cameras!" Is there a reason for that? I am using a Chamonix F2 with a Gradflok back so I think it should be fine?

[jonathanoldbuck]

Wearing dark sunglasses whilst photographing: brilliant!

[maartenvandenberg]

I have a cambo 4x5 ... well actually two .. I ordered this mount for sony E 3 months ago... would be nice if you deliver any time soon to kamera express.. but Im wondering... do you remove the glass from the backmount.. otherwise I do not see how this fits ... or is there some mechanism you can use to modify it to easily remove looking glass so you can slide this in and still lock it in place... because the back is produced to slide in a 4x5 negative film holder .. any experience anyone ?

Hi! Can I use this adaptor on my The Toyo Field 45AII view camera or Plaubel Peco Profia 4x5inch?
