The RhinoCam Vertex Rotating Stitching Adapter for Pentax 645 Lens to Pentax K from FotodioX offers a cost-effective alternative to full-size medium format back options. It makes it possible for photographers to achieve the high-quality resolution, detail, and sharpness found in images taken with medium format cameras. It connects a low-cost camera sensor with a medium format lens for astonishing medium format photography at a fraction of the normal price.
Capable of creating the dramatic full 6 x 6 medium format images previously reserved for photographers working with expensive medium format back cameras, RhinoCam Vertex is ideal for landscape, commercial, and architectural photographers seeking high resolution at a fraction of the cost. The lens remains firmly in place while the RhinoCam Vertex's moving platform positions the sensor for multiple precisely positioned exposures.
After the capture process, it takes seconds to merge the multiple exposures into one larger image using automated stitching functionality built into Adobe Photoshop and other software offerings. RhinoCam Vertex images are finalized using the more accurate flat stitching method, avoiding the perspective errors and curvilinear distortion present in images joined via spherical stitching often found with motorized systems that move both camera body and lens.
The compact and lightweight construction is ideal for photographers who would otherwise need to transport much heavier gear to photograph large vistas. The adapter features all-metal anodized aluminum construction for durability. It has a rotating camera mount and removable 1/4"-20 Arca-type tripod foot.
