which lense on my d700 for ttv photography?

<p>Hi all!</p>

<p>I am trying to understand which lens to put on my d700 to achive ttv photography..<br>

I will use either Duaflex or argus 75 or the like. I am not sure which focal length I should use :<br>

50 macro or 105 macro...<br>

Thank you for sharing your experiences!</p>

 

<p>To complete my question :<br>

Would I benefit of using a AF lens? It seems to me that once stuck in the contraption, <br>

the lens may not want to move at all ? right?</p>

<p>mostly 50mm..it goes back to history. you dont want to know :)</p>

<p>Cool idea, never thought about it. But if you like the look you might actually enjoy really using film. There are plenty of old cameras out there that take 35mm and medium format roll film. And ways to adapt films that are still available to formats that are not.</p>

 

<p>It seems some readers don't understand ttv photos. i think the correct answer is whichever lens will get you a macro view of the viewfinder... i don't think there is a right or wrong lens for it, as long as it focuses on the viewfinder glass. What i have seen that does make a difference is to use a tube of some sort (a mailing tube trimmed down, for instance) to block out any stray light. You would put it around the lens and then up against your Duaflex. I've even seen folks tape it all down so it is easier to hold the whole contraption together. hope that helps.</p>
