没有人用过Horseman SW612或人SW612 Pro，最近想买一个。这个容易用吗？我拍的大部分场景都在1m到5m的范围内，不用磨砂能砸石头给我玩吗？用过的唯一对焦估相机是卢莱35。
Thank you
Thank you
Has anyone used the Horseman SW612 or SW612 Pro, and I recently wanted to buy one. Is it easy to use? Most of the scenes I shot are in the range of 1m to 5m, can I focus accurately without using frosted glass? The only focus estimation camera I've ever used is the Rollei 35.
I plan to use the Rodenstock apo Digital series lens, is it suitable for use on the SW612?
I don't have this camera, but do use a 6x12 back on a 4x5, and use an SWC. 5 meters with a wide angle lens stopped down a bit will probably work fine, but at 1 meter I would definitely use a ground glass to focus.
You didn't give a focal length, but it's easy enough to find specifications for that lens in terms of the image circle. If it covers 4x5 it will also cover 6x12. Most digital series lenses are designed for medium format digital, so it might not.
And I wonder if they would be sharper than Film Camera Series Lenses
They should be very sharp. You might need a center filter for the 55 - that's a very wide lens for 6x12, unless you don't mind the photos being darker toward the edges.
Yeah，i need a center filter nd.
You have a point, and I'm thinking about these issues as well. But I've read a lot of forums saying that a 55mm lens can cover 45mm at aperture of 22, a 90mm lens can cover 140mm, and a 150mm lens can cover 150mm. But I can't confirm the authenticity of the information because the official figure is only 125.
Yes, if the vignetting is optical the only drawback might be a little softness in the corners, but if it's mechanical (due to the rear element having a hood built in) then it will be a more abrupt transition to darkness.
And another thing to think about is the availability of lens cones and focusing helicoids for whatever lenses you choose.

Because I may need to upgrade my digital back in the future, I don't want to buy more lenses.
Schneider's SAXL footage is great, I'll think about it, thanks for the suggestionIt appears that the 90 and 150 might cover okay (if your sources are correct), but I wouldn't get the 55 for that camera - image circle is too close to the film gate. The 55 might vignette simply by screwing a filter onto the front of the lens!
A Schneider 47mm Super Angulon XL has an image circle of 166mm, and in practical terms is probably just as sharp (or maybe sharper) than that 55 digital lens. And it appears that Horseman made a cone for it.
I'm sure the digital lenses are sharp, but using the word "digital" doesn't make it any better than the lenses that came before it. Other than some very minor changes that don't really matter in the real world of photography "Digital" is a marketing term designed to extract more Euros from your pocket
Hi Chenn, I have the SW612 with a 65mm lens and can tell you that close focusing can be a challenge without the ground glass. I was happily going about my business with the camera then when I needed to do a precisely focus at close distance I used the ground glass and I found the lens distance scale was way out. Not too much of a problem at say 5 meters and f22 but not ideal at 1 meters and f8. If you are planning to source other than factory lenses and lens cones I highly recommend the ground glass if only for calibrating the lenses.
