planar1 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 dear photographers, today i recieved the imacon digital back 22 mil pix, and used it on my rollei 6008 AF & 6008 integral2. i adjusted the focus point using different shims as descibed, with the 80 mm lens, and an f-stop of 2.8, but when i changed the lens (120mm) the picture was out of focus again. i tried for several hours, changing shims and lenses, but i couldn't discover the problem. does anybody hav an idea? thanks in advance!

OCULUS New York Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Good heavens! The curse of mail-order purchasing. I hope you can find someone who KNOWS what they are talking about. Any other lenses to test? Good luck, Ray Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas_green1 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Why should this stuff work fresh out of the box? You only spent $20K or so on it. IMHO, the folks who sold you this stuff owe you some support for the massive amount of dollars that you surely spent on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Such issues are always truly an unwelcome pain in the rear. Had my own troubles with the 20D for example. At least it wasn't a $20k purchase though. I hope you can get it working right soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-louis llech Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Tobias,<br> You say Imacon Digital back 22 MPix. Which model : Ixpress 132C or 528C ?<p> This topic was found on the FAQ page of Imacon : http://www.imacon.dk/sw343.asp#fifth<p> <i>Focus problems<br> The FlexFrame and Ixpress are unlikely to become out of focus unless the three focus screws (for service use only) have been altered.<p> It is more likely that some misalignment has occurred in the mirror of the camera body itself. We have experienced both Hasselblad and Mamiya 645 Pro cameras to occasionally have an alignment problem after extensive use, causing digital backs to appear out of focus. The problem is very difficult to see when using film, but on a digital back even the smallest misalignment will cause the image to be unfocused.</i><p> It might be maybe better to ask your question to the <a href="http://www.imacon.dk/sw216.asp">Imacon support center.</a><br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-louis llech Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Another point : do you have the correct Imacon adaptator for Rollei 600x cameras ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lata Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 quote: "It is more likely that some misalignment has occurred in the mirror of the camera body itself.

What is the technical explanation for this difference between digital back and film? Could someone explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiver_me_timbrrrre Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Tobias, any solution to your problem forthcoming? Did you check with Rollei or Hasselblad-Imacon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
