Description
Providing the basics needed for converting your Sony E-mount mirrorless camera into a large format setup, the ACTUS-B View Camera Body with Bayonet Kit from B&H pairs the view camera with bellows and monorail with a Sony E-mount bayonet kit.Camera Movements A full system of movements offers extensive control over perspective and focusing settings. Geared on-axis tilt and swing movements are performed on the front standard and the rear standard permits geared rise/fall movements and quick slide shift movements: Rear Rise/Fall: +0.5", -0.6" / +12mm, -15mm Rear Shift: +/- 0.8" / 20mm Front Swing: 360 Front Tilt: +10 , -9 The swing and tilt movements of the front standard rotate about the optical axis in order to avoid having to re-compose or re-focus after each movement is applied.Camera Features Both fine geared and quick-slide focusing adjustment types are available. Bellows and monorail focusing allows you to achieve closer focusing distances without the use of extension tubes or other macro attachments. Zero-position clicks are incorporated into each movement type for more intuitive handling. Monorail is compatible with the Arca-Swiss-style quick release system and also features both 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 mounts. Front tilts and swings allow you to alter the plane of focus for employing selective focus techniques or Scheimpflug settings for extensive depth of field. Additionally, these tilt and swing movements are used to correct for convergence and other perspective distortions. Rear horizontal and vertical shifts allow you to move the camera position while retaining the same lens position, making this configuration especially ideal for stitching multiple exposures without having to adjust the lens. The optional camera bayonet mounts allow you to rotate between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations without having to adjust the actual orientation of the view camera body. This black finish body is anodized for greater durability and scratch resistance. Compact overall form factor is relative to the size of DSLR and mirrorless cameras.ACTUS System As the central component within the modular ACTUS system, this view camera body serves as the means to which you can attach a variety of optional lensplates and camera bayonet mounts: Lensplates: Copal #0 Copal #1 M39 threading Leica R bayonet Hasselblad C bayonet Mamiya RZ/RB bayonet Mamiya 645 Pro TL bayonet Pentax 645 bayonet Nikon F bayonet Canon EF bayonet Camera Bayonet Mounts: Canon EOS camera body (except 1D-series) Nikon F camera body (except D3/D4-series) Leica M camera body Sony E camera body Fujifilm X camera body Olympus OM-D camera body Micro Four Thirds camera body Additionally, besides the standard included bellows and monorail, a variety of optional bellows and monorails are available for wide-angle and close-focusing/macro shooting applications.
