I don't think your proposal would work, Ian, as now described (forget about
the previous problems with lens register and frame size). When using the
tandem lens arrangement, the idea is that characteristics of the "taking"
lens on its originally-intended format are preserved, with the frame
blown-up by the "erecting" lens. My use of a 4mm CCTV lens has not produced
anything remotely like a fisheye image. So using a 24mm lens designed for
24x36 would result in a super-wide image, to be blown up to MF scale by a
macro lens - but remaining a super-wide image. If you wanted a fisheye
image, you would need to use a fisheye 24x36 lens. It might be cheaper to
get a 30mm MF fisheye from Kiev!

I must admit I was thinking along the lines of using say a 24mm as a fisheye
in the larger format or even an 8mm thinking that a larger area film area
could be covered in Medium or large format, bit like the macro experiments
using cctv on 35mm just ending up with bigger and hopefully better quality
images.
I have been thinking about what one of the listees bsaid about an image that
didn't have the knockout punch but aged better, and I am wondering that even
though we search for perfection it is not really what we want, I always made
sure there was at least one small mistake in my job CV when i was
consulting, usually a missed full stop and it worked. I wonder then if its
the pictures that people can find a small fault with that endears it more to
them - or is my thinking just rubbish.
disclaimer - Oh by the way I am not suggesting the aforementioned listees
photo is anything other than perfect especially having not even seen it.
