[MF3D.FORUM:932] Wide Angle Adapters for MF Stereo

[Sam <3dhacker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After my last excursion in the Rockies, I found that there were a lot of
shots I couldn't take simply because I couldn't get it all in with a
standard lens. So I went digging through my photo garbage and took a trip
to the local used camera store and VIOLA instant wide angle lens attachments!

For some reason there seems to be a lot of Kowa wide angle and telephoto
auxiliary lens attachments for their 1960s rangefinder cameras. I've even
seen them on Ebay in the past for just a few bucks. All I did was glue
series 5 adapters to the ends and they fit on my stereo camera perfectly.
It's also feasable to put two telephoto adapters on for portraiture,
especially for you guys with the wide stereo bases. I don't see any
vignetting, although I expect there will be a slight loss in sharpness and
contrast.

I've got a film it the camera now, I'll let you know the results.
