Those subscribing to the Medium Format Digest may have noticed a posting by D.
Gonzalez in the May 28, 1998 issue, which read in part, "I have an Olympus
250/2 that I've adapted to the Mamiya 645 and I've heard good things about a
Nikon 600/4 ED' that was adapted to the Pentax 6x7." [Heresy only for the
sake of clarity--for spellings conforming to the orthodoxy of this list,
please substitute an asterisk for each vowel in all non-Oly camera products!]
This implies pretty good coverage by the Oly lens. Any inveterate tinkerers
willing to try to convert their 250/2 to a *shift lens*? (No more converging
verticals on those tall basketball players, etc.) ;-)
All the Best,
Tom Moynihan
