Digital View Camera Large Format

[Red] I use this to connect my digital back to the lens on my large format camera. The pushbutton on the device allows me to 'wake up' the digital back before pushing the shutter release. Works like a charm!

[0.34 lb] easy and great for focus on your large format camera!

I must have about 20 of these for various lenses, digital, medium or large format. The caps are of excellent quality and fit is always perfect.

[4.2 oz / 120 g] I am new to digital photography. I come from large format black and white. I recently purchased digital equipment except for my strobes circa 1980's. I am totally unfamiliar with all of the modern language of photography. I knew cords were no longer needed to sync strobes with my modern camera. I called for help and ordered the Vello Off-Camera TTL Flash Cord for my Nikon. I was able to successfully fire my Elinchrom strobes. The digital world seems much simpler than the old days of large format and waiting to see how your film develops!

[Rubber] I must have about 20 of these for various lenses, digital, medium or large format. The caps are of excellent quality and fit is always perfect.

[1x Film Roll] Super 8 is still a fairly economical format, even in the digital era.

[0.07 lb] The best tripod - camera plate I have ever seen. Holds Large format and medium format really good!

[FUJIFILM G] So you know where I'm coming from: Shot medium format film in the 80's and 90's. Loved the image quality. And because of that experience, I couldn't bring myself to buy a digital camera that was only full frame that cost more than my Mamiya 645! Not trying to start any arguments here, I think digital full frame image quality is generally better than 35mm film, but I still couldn't buy it. Finally, with the Fuji 50R, I found a price point and a cropped medium format compromise I could live with. The Fuji 32-64 and this 250 are the 2 sharpest lenses I've ever owned. The image stabilization on the 250 is fabulous. Even with the 1.4 teleconverter(sorry it's not 1.9 or 2), I have taken seemingly impossible hand held shots at 1/30th of a second. To an old film guy, that's impressive. The engine image is a straight-out-of-the-camera jpg that has been resized for upload, but look at the severe crop of the front where one can easily read where the toolbox is. This is a handheld shot with the 1.4 teleconverter on a moving train. Auto focus and OIS on, F9, 1/180, ISO 400. I can live that.

[Yes] I bought this tripod to support my new FujiFilm GFX 50sii digital medium format camera. I was replacing an older model Gitzo aluminum tripod with a ball head. I have used the Manfrotto Befree a few times in cold weather (I live in British Columbia, Canada) and it has held up well in the snow. I am surprised by how light and compact this tripod is, given the maximum payload. So far, I am very happy with my purchase.

[Single Coated] Great lens for my large format kit
