@epic_rim - you mean to say, you use a MF lens held in front of a 35mm camera, or in front of a MF camera?

Also when filming with a HD Movie equiped SLR, try to hit with a solid metal hammer on the top of the SLR, makes for great noise/distortion effects. To avoid scratches on your pensy cam put a few condoms over the head of the hammer.

medium format lens held in front of a dSLR. The idea is that the MF lens sprays a larger image over the sensor because the lens is designed for medium format film, which is much larger than a normal dSLR sensor (or 35mm slide film). This allows wilder movements of the lens while still keeping slop broadcast over the
sensor.here is a rough idea of what i mean:
the medium format lens over the sensor on the left and a full frame lens just barely covering the sensor on the right.

some Old polaroid camera lenses and/or old Wollensack/Schnieder lenses from 1950's 4x5 speed graphics can do nice, lots of covering power as above diagram.......as can old 80mm or larger darkroom enlarger lenses, or anything from a 4x5 view camera...Some surplus shops sell old heavy big lenses from xerox machines....very cool.... I've also seen art school people use toilet rubber gaskets to stop the dust/light leeks...

I love how old techniques are re-emerging now that dSLRs are becoming so widespread.

nice shit, folks!

I played with this all night. Some damn fine results! An AF lense did not work so well since the aperture closes when you detach it but an old Nikon F- lense worked excellent, esp. at 1.4
i'll be using this more often. Cheers.

ok, here are 3 shots from yesterday's freelensing session, with an olde Fujifilm S3pro SLR and ancient NIKKOR F 50mm 1:1.4 (detached, ofcourse!)
turned out it's like a View Camera ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vie… ) without a bellow. I could do extreme close ups with a regular 50mm.
Sad thing is i may have got one or two spots of dirt, but it was well worth it. it needs cleaning anyway.
