35mm DOF adapter completed!
I finally got the last and final part for my 35mm DOF adapter today. After messing with trying to position the ground glass in the exact proper spot, which was far from fun, I was able to test it out. My first major impression of it is that it works wonderfully in lower light conditions. Shooting indoors with some general lighting will be a breeze. However, shooting outdoors will be an issue. It seems if I close the lens’s aperture too much, I get some hideous grain coming from the ground glass. This of course should be eliminated with some neutral density filters, which will allow me to keep the aperture open wide. I’m going to have to look around to see if there is maybe a solution to this problem.
Here’s a test shot showing my antique camera collection:
I’ll post some more info on how I built the adapter tomorrow.
