Digital XPan field report

In previous posts I’ve covered various ways to sensor bracket, and how to create a digital XPan DNG, by flat stitching a pano equivalent of a 65x24mm film negative. 

In this post I’m simply going to show a few test shots that I just took with my Mamiya 645 45mm medium format lens, attached to my Canon IR converted RP, via one of my Fotodiox, +/- 15mm, adapters (use the link on the right to explore the various adapters that Fotodiox have).

Post processing was carried out in Lightroom and Photoshop. 

In this particular case, I decided to process the images in black and white. Two were processed an an XPan size, ie shifting in landscape mode, and one in a medium format 5x7 size, ie shifting by +/- 15mm in portrait mode.

To show off the images on line, I digitally mounted them using the DBW plugin, that you can purchase from here. 

I hope this short post has piqued your interest in sensor bracketing and camera format shifting. If you can’t afford an XPan or don’t wish to get into film photography, using a second hand medium format lens and a format adapter, is a great digital alternative.

As usual, I welcome any comments on this post or any of my posts.
