Ever think about using a fantastic Large Format 4×5 camera with a Mamiya 645 (M645) film back? This is for all you film lovers! Don’t get confused with M645 AF backs because those are NOT compatible. But hey you should know that if you shoot with M645 AF or PHASE ONE and if you don’t well… do some research!  Here is your solution! With this adapter you can mount your film or digital back onto popular large format 4×5 view cameras (works on all 4×5 cameras with the standard with graflok back, such as: Cambo, Linhof, Calumet, Horseman, Omega, Toyo, Kodak). This adapter board mounts the backs in a vertical position and slides from side to side allowing more of the scene to be scanned and captured. The sliding board allows focusing and shooting to be done without mounting a separate focusing screen then swapping it out for a digital/film back and vice verse; just slide the full frame focusing screen into place to make the needed tilt/swing/shift adjustments on the camera, then slide the back over to the appropriate marks to fire the shots.

The entire digital image can be compiled using your computer. The sliding adapter allows you to ‘scan’ the 4×5 back so the multiple images can be stitched together using image editing software into a giant mega-file with amazing detail and clarity! The sliding board has incremental markings to help with positioning and a tension screw lock to keep the sliding board in place during shooting. This Fotodiox Pro-Series mount adapter is machined with pristine precision for the best possible fit. As with all Pro-series adapters, these have been specially crafted to endure professional lenses and repeated use. With unique styling, the lens mount adapter maintains/enhances the professional appearance.

 

 

Note:

• The appropriate cable to connect the digital back to the lens is required for use, the cable is not included.

• This is a manual adapter, so lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body (autofocus, AE metering, image stabilization, etc.) will be disrupted.

• Some cameras need to be set a certain way to work with our adapters or you may get a message such as ‘Error Lens Not Attached – Check lens’. Please check the support articles on the Fotodiox Knowledge Base for possible solutions on a variety of camera brands.

• Set your exposure manually or meter using your camera’s Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode.

• To determine what the new ‘Crop Factor’ or ‘Equivalent Focal Length’ of the lens when used on your camera will be, please check the Fotodiox Knowledge Base article.
