Portrait Kit - Land Camera - do you have some pictures?
« on: January 12, 2013, 10:22:46 AM »
Hi!

I'd like to know if someone possesses the portrait kit for his/her folding land camera and could post a few pictures taken with this combination - just to get an impression how a portrait would/could look like.

I myself do have the land camera 350 and I'm lurking around this portrait kit for ages...

Thank you :)

Hi,
I have a portrait kit for my 340 and my 195. This was taken with the 195.

Cheers,
Matt

Ive got the closeup kit, not the portrait one but I feel the need to add to this.

I sort of did didnt i! Im finding closeup kits are everywhere in my area. Ive seen a couple included with folding cameras in the classifieds and even got a closeup kit with a bunch of other accessories for my sx-70. Like they dont focus close enough!

That certainly is no lie! I gave up on the search...

(edit - just seen original post - maybe the price is prohibitive to this one for the people looking above)

That's the 581 for the 'normal' viewfinders. The 581a is a little different.
