Mosaic Imaging - Luma - Large Format Solutions

Large Format

Luma 4 x 5 solution - Technically the first and only solution. Gives what you really want: technical camera motions and unlimited lens selection. All other digital one-shot backs that attach to a 4 x 5 either limit you to long focal length lenses or to no motions. The Luma 4 x 5 solution gives both.

The recessed mounting board for the Luma brings the sensor forward while leaving the standards apart giving them freedom to swing and tilt. The recessed electronic shutter lets you attach Nikon lenses with optics perfect for the 35mm format, including the widest lenses available. You can also continue to use any lens and shutter for your 4 x 5 camera. Video viewing on the computer or auxiliary monitor makes a ground glass unnecessary. (Or, of course, an interchangeable one, useful in rough setup, is available as well.)
