Schneider lens on Canon body?

Does anyone know what adapter to use or how to use Schneider S-Componon 80mm F4 enlarging lens on a Canon body?

I'm interested in getting one for my project but would like to do find out a bit more on this.

Thanks in advance!

Oh, if this post is in the wrong section, can mod please move it to the right forum?

Hi Gu,

Hope you're well!

A photographer I'm workig for uses Schneider optics sometimes, but that is with a Cambo Ultima 35. Bit of a pricey solution... (there are cheaper alternatives, but still 4 figures)
I'm not aware of an adapter to use enlarging lenses on Canon bodies, but it'd have to be some kind of bellows arrangement, since an enlarging lens can't focus otherwise...

Edit: Seems I've learned something again, thanks to Gmen

Cheers Gavin! Hope all is well with you!

I have a question for you Rene, if without the bellow system, would one be able to produce images with tilt/shift effect?

Without bellows, the only way to get tilt/shift is a tilt/shift lens or an adapter.. (most bellows will only move back/front anyways)

The tilt / shift is one of the reasons to use the Cambo. The mirror box of a DSLR does provide some limitations, and you will need to connect the camera to a computer to check the image for focus (unless your eyesight is way better then mine).

Problem is that wide angle use is rather restricted (size of the bellows). IIRC it should be possible to get a schneider 28 or 35mm to work, but it uses recessed mounting plates or so. Hasselblad wides work as well. (different mounting plate)

Off course, no automation whatsoever WRT focus and aperture...

I'd think they would make it easier to find their prices/vendors? One guy calls that "Mystery Meat Navigation".

Excellent!

Thanks for all the help!

I know this an old thread, but here goes:

I use several methods with a Schneider Componon-S 135mm enlarging lens, all using it reversed, by using step-up rings to reach 52mm. From there-on it's easy, since that will thread onto a Nikon BR-3 (52mm one end, Nikon mount on the other). I couple the lens directly to my PB-4 (has tilt and shift), put a Nikon to EOS adapter at the back of the belows unit (you can get almost any adapter these days), and voilà. I can get super macros all the way out to infinity. You won't get infinity with your lens, since the bellows draw + the camera well are too deep for what you have (~135mm is the min. for these bellows), but you can do almost anything with adapters that way. My EOS 30D will meter in M and A mode, with this system.

I've used smaller bellows with T-mount threading, etc, and I always find that the best is to reverse-mount the lens (for both better resolution anyway and ease of mounting it by its front threads through step-up rings or other adapters). And I've reverse-mounted enlarging lenses on the front of zoom lenses, too -- works great, if bellows aren't your cup of tea. Try it out !
