Test Roll Accessory: PARAMENDER - parallax correction for the MAMIYA C33

[@williamshaffer9216]

I have a Paramender but have never used it. Thanks for the demonstration!

Easily one of my favorite videos on KZbin.

Wow. We're both honored and a little shocked. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this video! I’ve got a C220 with a 180mm Mamiya Sekor lens, and my wife wants to use it for macro photography. This accessory is a must!

[@martinkauper4991]

Thank you for the kind words, Mario!

Thank you for sharing this video with us it is very much appreciated. I was wanting to get into Macro Photography with my C300 Pro F, but to be honest I couldn't quite understand how. But after seeing this video I now know that I can do macro Photography with my C330 Pro F. Thank you!!!

Ahhh, beautiful! The use of the level bubble is critical for the parameter, I’d say. Thank you for this, gentlemen. And may I say, your photos are beautiful. Here’s a question: Have you done any Infrared with the C33? Also, what about exposure compensation as you extend the bellows? The close-ups achieved with bellows are exceptional. This feature raises the camera head and shoulders above the Rolleiflex, in my humble opinion.

I just bought a paramender yeaterday and it will be here in 2 days. I am looking forward to doing some close up work and couldn't imagine trying to do it without the paramender.

Is the Paramender used in place of using a parallax correction plate? Could you explain the correlation and difference of using the Paramender vs the Parallax Correction Plate?

[@tgchism]

Did you happen to measure how far it lifts the camera? one of my tripods has a crank to lift the center column. I could duplicate the distance if I knew what it was.

[@mgman6000]

That's all well and good but you should have mentioned the exposure compensation also

[@justlikeswimming5988]

It's a great accessory, use it with a C220. What lens are you using for your close-ups? Beautiful shots!

[@larsbunch]

Thank you. I was using the 65mm for those shots. If I remember correctly, I chose a wide lens so I could make the most out of the bellows extension of the camera.

[@axelcordes]

Am I right, if I 'just' lift the camera on the tripod about the difference of the distance (mid) upper lens to lower lens it'll do the same job, but not that elegant as with the Paramender, right? Thanx for all your work ! Cheers Axel

[@martinkauper4991]

I suppose you could, but I suspect the cost of a Paramender would be less than the therapy you would need. 😁 Thanks for looking!

[@axelcordes]

@@martinkauper4991 :-) I like to do some tests and if I like it I'll go for it ;-) Cheers and thanx a lot for your answer! axel
