Review on πŸ“Έ Fotodiox Pro Adapter: Hasselblad H to Large Format 4x5 Adapter - Stitching Back with Sliding Focusing Screen - Compatible with Cambo, Linhof, Calumet, Horseman, Omega, Toyo, and Kodak Models featuring Graflock Back by Steve Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good concept but not perfect

One of the main reasons I bought the Fotodiox Pro adapter was that I figured I could keep using the measurement probe from my Sinar Expolux measurement/shutter system behind the Graflok adapter mount Draft. Unfortunately I was wrong. I like that you can take multiple shots and then glue them together. However, the Fotodiox Pro Adapter has several disadvantages. I wish the adapter could rotate the H-mount digital back from vertical to horizontal. The adapter fits very tightly in the Graflok mount of my Sinar cameras, it barely fits at the bottom so the bottom latch cannot close properly. The circular frosted glass etch makes it difficult to focus correctly when using a 4x loupe, for example. With additional shipping costs and import duties, the adapter is quite expensive. Currently, I mostly use my Plaubel PL70 H-Mount digital rear adapter.

Pros
  • Lens accessories
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
