Post by: yomanuel on April 20, 2017, 00:28:28
Hallo, I am new here, but not in the photography.
Thanks for accepting my registration.
Retired telecommunications engineer with many free time.

I like photography in all fields: digital, film, MF, repair, modify, experiment …

Do not judge me by my level of English, please.

Hola Manuel,

  Don't worry about the English, for many here is not their first language. It is use to communicate with each other and there is a premise and a real intention of this community to understand what you're trying to say. They have been doing it with me for years! :)
  Looking forward to see images from your corner of the world.
 Don't hesitate to ask

    Bienvenido a NG

Bienvenido a uno de los mejores (y amigables) foros!
Viajo a España durante unos meses cada año, pero sólo he podido ver Andalucía ya que hay tanta belleza allí. Todavía puedo hacer un viaje a Alicante.
Esperamos ver alguna gran fotografía de España.
And don't worry your English is fine!!

Saludos
Doug

Hi guys, thank you very much everyone for the welcome.
Now I have little free time to be in the forum. I am testing with two fish-eye lenses (NIKKOR 7.5 / 5.6 and NIKKOR 8/8) for use with my Df.

No, it's not impossible but it's a bit dangerous. I'll tell you how it's done and upload some photos of the experiment.

Manuel

The method is well known ... I've used that for many years now with all DSLRs. Even the lower end models can do that, for example, I often use the 7.5/5.6 Fisheye on my D3200 for UV. The best quality of the non-retrofocus fisheyes is the 10/5.6 OP, by the way.

Provided you do the required steps in the procedure by the letter it is neither dangerous nor harmful to the camera.

PS: when you post these pictures, do make a dedicated thread for in in an appropriate board. Either 'Lens Talk' or 'What the Nerds Do' might be suitable.  DS.

Thanks for the info, Bjørn.
I always thought it was not possible in DX format cameras. The mirror box is very small.
Tomorrow I'm going to try on my D3100 using the same method as with Df.

Some of the DX cameras indeed have a close fit. But cannot remember anyone not allowing the mounting of these fisheyes. The caveat being I haven't tried all possible combinations.

If D40X and D3200 can host the 7.5 Fisheye so ought the D3100 too.
