Direct Source Marketing, (a partnership of Rolleiflex and Horseman) has announced the Horseman LD - an accessory that provides bellow functions to DSLR cameras and the ability to convert the LD into a 4 x 5-inch film camera. Sounds impressive.Available for Canon and Nikon digital SLR's, the Horseman LD gives the ability to add full bellows functions with all the associated perspective and creative effects of the view camera. The front of the Horseman LD allows users to attach any standard medium or large format camera lens. They promise that users will be able to control depth of field, distortion, and lateral shift easily.
The LD can also be adapted to a high end medium format digital back with the soon to be released sliding back. Converting the LD to a 4×5 film camera or popular 6×7, 6×9, 6×12cm, roll film backs, and large format scanning backs can be easily accomplished with the optional 4×5 adapter kit.
The Horseman LD is currently available at retail outlets or at www.horsemanusa.com. Suggested retail is $2500.00.
