White? You want my old bamboo ones? I bought pair made from petrified redwood, and these bamboo ones are scrubby now. We shouldnt be fighting woot. They guy that was selling the multi-color Klein also kind of ruined it. Its a switchhub fixed gear and he ground off the mounts for the gear shifters, filled them with material and bondo-ed em shut. Would have been more work to make it a true bike. Its current state made it fitting for someone to leave on their balcony to show off rather than actually be useful as a bike. I wanted my bike to be useful since its my main transpo. Musket fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Apr 4, 2013 |

I saw somebody do something similar to a Cannondale road frame. My city daily is a Masi Speciale Fixed Limited with a ton of component upgrades. I don't ride it anymore since I moved from Chicago to the land of hills. My country livin' bikes are a '99 Trek Y-Foil 77, a 2001 Bianchi Daytona, a 2001 Specialized S-Works FSR for trails, and a GT BMX for loving around inside the house.

When i thought i was gonna MTB a lot, i had a Trek 930 pimped out. Tried to ride it to work, heavy as gently caress and got bad pedal mileage. I ended up selling it to a friend who was lookin for a chromo frame to turn into a longhauler bike. He rode it from Everett WA to Tijuana Mexico. Said its the best longhaul frame around.

TomR posted:Friends! So this thing basically just moves the camera along the rails for you? I don't see how that would work as an alternative to using a small sensor shifted on a large image circle. Shifting the camera side-to-side a few millimeters isn't going to do anything unless you have an extremely long lens. Where it can be helpful in panoramas is while using a tilt-shift lens. I do that with interiors in order to get a 40MP shot out of my 5Dmk2. Shift the lens -12mm, counter shift the camera on the rails +12mm, shift the lens to 0mm, shift the camera on the rails to 0mm, shift the lens to +12mm, shift the camera on the rails -12mm. Then photostitch the three images. The counter-shifting solves any parallax issues you'd get stitching a wide angle lens.

No no, you have no lens on the camera and make the bellows attach to the front of the camera. The rail can be programmed to move any amount, so say 20mm or something to give you overlap. You are moving the camera sensor along the plane where the film would be. The exact same way the Fotodiox thing works.

But that rail doesn't move vertically, so you'd only be utilizing a long, horizontal strip of the image circle.

And doesn't cover large format. That was the point. This would automatically take all the shots for you once it's set up. So it would be fast and reliable. Even if you only used it for test shots it would be worth it if you shot a lot of large format stuff.

Although, personally I'd rather skip the motorized part and stick to my own movements/calculations/motor-memory. I don't need another battery to worry about or computer to bug out while I'm shooting. I know you can get a 4x5 scanning back for around $5k. I wonder what it would take to DIY one with a USB scanner.

I did see a good write up on someone who took a Canon LIDE apart and used it. They did extensive modifications to the sensor head and used a custom driver for a Mac. The results were kind of bumpy, not clean like a pro one would be. I don't think you would get a usable 800megapickle image out of stacking 40 shots from a 4x5 anyway. I don't think large format lenses are as sharp as modern 35mm lenses such as the new Canon TS-E line. I could be wrong. But it would still retain most of the look you get from the large format lens, I would think.

The results were kind of bumpy, not clean like a pro one would be. I saw some of the DIY scanner projects a few years back, but was hoping that they had advanced more than their... current state. Oh well - the prices for used MF backs are nearing affordable territory. I've played around with mounting various new and modern MF lenses to my DSLRs. While some of the newer Zeiss glass gave beautiful results, sharpness was around what I would expect from an L-Series zoom. I can imagine the results would be similar with large format. Honestly, with the TS-E 17+24 combo being as sharp and distortion/aberration-free as it is, I really don't see any reason to move up in formats unless it's for something magical like the 80MP IQ180. If Canon releases a 40MP body as rumored, I'd be even less likely to. It would be interesting to see how the TS-E duo handles the higher resolution and pixel density.

Since there are apparently a lot of IT folks in this here thread, just wanted to say that if you have a Safari Books Online subscription, there's actually a ton of photography books on there. I paged through Scott Kelby's Digital Photography Book at work today.
