Obviously i am shooting with XCD and the new "V" design version of the XCD lense; but I have also been using a range of old toys with the X2D-100C:
a) Cambo Actus View Camera and Actar 24mm
b) 4 HC/HCD lenses attached using XH Adapter and XH Converter 0.8 -- 4.8/24, 3.5/50-II, 2.2/100 and 4.5/300
c) as b) but also using H Macro Converter and two H 26mm extension tubes
d) as b) but also with an H Converter 1.7x AND also with the H Macro Converter
e) and finally - using the HTS 1.5 (tilt/shift adapter) -- the best lens to use is the 4.8/24 and using the XH Converter 0.8, which reduces the multiplier effect of the HTS 1.5 to "only 20%". The 24mm attached to the HTS 1.5, becomes 36mm, this is reduced to 28.8 when the XH Converter 0.8 is used.
Over the next couple of weeks I will trial and test all possible combinations. In the meantime some shots of the gear and a few initial test outputs can be seen in this Flickr Album
