Hello, fellow photographers. Today, I’m going to tell you about a neat addition for you digital SLR camera. You might have used one, seen or at least heard about full format, those big cameras with a black extensible/movable shaft. Those had the unique ability of changing lens orientation and placement. I guess you got it where I’m pointing by now, the direction of tilt & shift, rise & fall and the amazing swing. That's where they have taken the principles of tilt&shift lenses and also for rise&fall lenses.

Sadly, there aren't any swing lenses (easy) available and the other cost way too much. Besides that, the shortest focal length (widest lens) you can get is 24mm, which is wide enough on a full frame camera, but attached to a crop camera gets you a 38mm (FF35 equivalent) field of view, which is not that wide anymore.

VCC Pro is a handheld view camera that will offer you large format view camera functions, called technical movements. To make this easier, technical movements allow for perspective distortion correction, increasing or reducing depth of field and other creative functionalities. You'll be able to take miniature photos directly in camera with any lens.

Almost compact and really lightweight, the Horseman camera converter comes in Canon and Nikon SLR mounts, both VCC models accepting a wide variety of lenses and having the possibility of utilizing digital image stitching, permitting rear 30mm vertical and 40mm horizontal movements by using an ultra precise spindle drive.

The price for this one comes as expected. Given the fact that, after buying it, you can make a tilt & shift, rise & fall and even swing from any lens, you're going to pay almost twice for the Vcc Pro. The price tag on it says $1,999.
