Sample TrueWide Images

 

The TrueWide lens mount rotates 90 degrees to accommodate vertical shots with ultra wide-angle lenses without having to change the camera's orientation. Positive detents hold your lens firmly in place after rotation. The TrueWide is truly a precision instrument for studio and location photography. Combine the TrueWide with various wide-angle shift lenses or even the Micro-Nikkor 85mm f2.8 tilt shift and you've got instant view camera performance. We can even set you up with the viewfinder adapter for the Sinar articulating viewfinder at no additional charge.

 

 

Please note: The TrueWide is an outstanding camera when used in the studio with electronic flash at all shutter speeds. There is however an issue when shooting with the Leaf Valeo and Aptus digital backs on a TrueWide in ambient light. A shutter speed of 1/30 sec. or slower should be used when shooting in ambient light to avoid possible ghosting of the shutter blades in the image. In the studio using electronic flash there are no issues and any shutter speed can be used because the shutter blades are completely open when the flash sync fires.

Fuji GX 680 Hasselblad H and Leaf AFi Adapter Plates

Cat # KG-004H or KG004AIf - $1495.00
Cat # LF-004B - $495.00

Hasselblad viewfinder RMFx shown below
(not included)

The standard Fuji GX680 waist level viewfinder or any Hasselblad viewfinder can be used.

The addition of the matching focus screen insert was required to maintain par focus given the shift in the focus plane of all Hasselblad H and Leaf AFi model digital backs. One tradeoff is that you loose the ability to focus at infinity due to the thickness of the adapter plate. However, for tabletop shooting and small sets the system preforms very well and allows you to use a Hasselblad H or Leaf AFi digital back on your Fuji GX 680.

 

The Fuji GX 680 Solution Hasselblad H rotating adapter plate is designed for use with all Leaf series digital backs with the Hasselblad H or Leaf AFi mount. The KG-004H consists of 2 components, the rotating adapter plate and a replacement focus screen assembly shown on the left.

An integrated Hasselblad V viewfinder adapter is incorporated into the replacement focus screen assembly.
