Nikon C 28/2 Non-Ai - covers GFX sensor and has no IR hotspots :)

My SN is: 274233.

I would love to have the new Nikon 19 T&S - but it is too expensive and uses electronic aperture control so I would either have to use it wide open or do tricks like pressing DoF previen on Nikon body and unmount then, and have a fixed apertura at anything, but needing Nikon body to change it every time. (I hate anything after AF-D - starting from AF-S and any AF that has an internal motor, even AF-D is not that good for me, I love Nikons up until AI-s).

 

I would love to see a "proper" "MF" GFX sensors - 54x40mm :D. because I cannot even dream about 6x7 or 6x9 which both are my fav from all time.

I had the first Nikkor PC 85 with manual aperture control, then I changed it to the PC-E 85 and 45, which work well with D800 reflex cameras etc, with the Z7 and Z5 it does strange things, sometimes at apertures closed, it doesn't keep everything open during focusing.
.
On YouTube I saw a video of a Nikon F > GFX adapter (around €500) that works well with electronic aperture control, but perhaps it's just a less than real advertisement, others say it doesn't work well.
This is why I bought the Z7 three years ago; I did a test GFX50r+120 macro VS D850+105 micro the quality of the files was similar to 99%. Only the 3x4 format was more practical.
.
I've never had anything from Canon, but I've read that all Canon lenses (and Zeiss with Canon mount) with that type of adapter work perfectly on GFX, even PC

I dream that Sinar or Phase One makes a 4x5 inch sensor or larger, to revive all my old equipment ... and the last Petzval lenses I bought, made in ~1850

I have (and relly like) Fuji GSW690 II.

65/5.6 lens on 6x9 format.

For subjects with no motion, I use an inexpensive Horseman  4x5 view camera with inexpensive back for a FF camera, and with 4x5 or 6x7 lensboard, so I can scan the huge aerial image with my FS A7R or any other camera.

yes, I also have a 4x5 inch plate for my Toyo, with Nikon F/Sony mount, I use it to check the sharpness of my large format lenses, or to do an exposure test before shooting on photographic film.
I dream of a 4x5 RGB back with at least 50 Mpx...

.

Today these 4x5 and 8x10 inch back "Largesense" , but they are still too homemade and expensive.
4x5"... LINK... 6.7 Mpx and $26,000
9x11"... LINK... monochrome 26Mpx... $90,000

monochromatic sees UV and IR well

.

I recently bought this "LomoGraflok 4×5 Instant Back" LINK
the photos have very low quality... not like the Fuji FP100c :(((
