Film Lenses On Digital Camera: This trick is never as satisfactory as getting the picture the way you (or your clients) want it on the negative, once and for all, at the time of shooting.Besides, the view Camera has other advantages which are than 4 x 5. I have shot thousands of pictures with an 8 x 10, and I can tell you that wrestling the dead weight of Camera and tripod makes every job fall into the category of hard labor. Also important is that the cost of everything, camera, holders, tripod, lenses and film lenses on digital camera, goes up when you go into 8 x 10.
They are attached over the Camera lens to permit truly close-up pictures with ordinary hand cameras. The more diopters, the closer the working distance and the greater the magnification.
The Kodak Telek Lenses 1-, 2 - , 3 - , and 4 - are negative lenses of 1, 2, 3, and 4 diopters, whose purpose is to increase the effective focal length of the Camera lens and give a telephoto effect.
All you need as equipment to get into cover photography is a Camera which will shoot 4x5 film lenses on digital Camera or larger (5 x 7 is even better than 4x5), with a highly color-corrected lens (nearly all of the modern lenses are adequate) and synchronized flash. Actually, many covers have been shot with smaller cameras and without flash, but there's no use bucking the field the hard way.
