mustafa_umut_sarac Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I am thinking a design inspired by anamorphic pinhole camera. Due to pinhole slow shutter times and making the images real sharp , I thought I can attach an lens to the place of pinhole. But lens must have an shutter and I dont want to pay for zeiss. What are my options ? Umut I bet dan fromm will respond again as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_fromm2 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Yes, I will respond. Not as usual. If you want a useful answer you should help us by telling us which focal lengths you're thinking of using on y'r proposed 6x17 camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_salomon Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The Linhof 617 SIII used the 72 and the 90mm Super Angulon XL lenses, earlier, non interchangeable lens models used the 90 SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Anamorphic photography requires a lens. There's no such thing as an anamorphic pinhole. Pinholes project a non-distorted rectilinear image. Whereas an anamorphic lens projects an image that's compressed in one axis (usually the horizontal axis). An anamorphic image requires "decompressing" with a matching projection lens. Or by digital stretching these days. Perhaps you just mean panoramic? Any lens with an image circle of >17cm can be used for 6x17 panoramic pictures; it doesn't need to be wideangle. Although I expect that's what you're after. As Bob says, the 90mm SAXL or f/4.5 Grandagon-N would be suitable, as would an 80mm Super-Symmar XL. None of the above are going to be cheap.

dan_fromm2 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) RJ, see Build an Anamorphic Pinhole Camera From https://www.etsy.com/listing/113838722/vermeer-6x17cm-anamorphic-pinhole-camera Anamorphic type- image is captured on film wrapped on cylinder placed perpendicular to pinhole lens axis Words don't always mean what they usually do. Now that I've looked this stuff up, I think that the OP's idea is unworkable. Edited August 25, 2017 by dan_fromm|2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Ahh! 'Twould have helped if the OP had provided that link. "As digital photography slowly takes over, there will always be some things that digital cameras just can't do. One of those things is making anamorphic images!" Has that guy never played with the warp filters in PhotoShop? I guess there are always people that think making a job more difficult somehow makes the end result more "worthy", "artistic" or otherwise enobled in some way.
