Franken-Epic

Just because I'm all like Mad Scientist and shit...

Epic meets Arca Swiss M Line 2 Via Canon Mount.

The point? None really. But it's fun to do things like this...

cool. I'm doing the same thing with a cambo and an enlarging lens. No photos yet but soon. Fun winter project. What lens do you have on there?
It could be great for product shots as you still have tilt and shift.

Very neat!

This ones the Rodenstock HR Digaron-W 90mm. It's a very nice piece of glass. The only drag about the setup is I can't really focus anything wider than a 70mm. Great for tabletop though.

nice lens - not cheap.
I was thinking about the backfocus issue and surmised that if you created a custom mount (instead of the canon) you would be able to focus closer to infinity with a wider lens. Of course theres always the schneider digitars for the cambo x2 system.

That's crazy talk.

Chris-
I like the way you think... I'm in the process of adapting some of my old cambo 4 x 5 gear to use the Epic as a back... fun stuff!
