Creating Full Frame+ Stitched Images with an APS-C RhinoCam Vertex

APS-C RhinoCam Vertex stitching adapters let you create full frame+ stitched photos on a crop sensor camera. Each adapter mounts a full frame lens to an APS-C sensor camera, but it offsets the camera's sensor to one corner of the lens. The adapter then allows you to rotate the camera and sensor around the center or "vertex" of the full frame lens. Four hard stops built into the RhinoCam indicate the four positions you need to take photos at as you rotate the camera. Capture a photo at each of these stops and then stitch the four photos together for a final square stitched image.

For these photos I used a Nikon F to Canon EOS M RhinoCam Vertex. The lens is a NIKKOR 20mm f/2.8, and the camera is an original Canon EOS M. By using such a wide lens and then capturing more of it's image circle than I would be able to even with a full frame camera, I'm creating an image that's evocative of a wide angle medium format image. I'm also shooting with the lens set to f/2.8, giving me that shallow depth of field medium format look.

Now, obviously this isn't even close to what an actual medium format film image or even a medium format digital image looks like, but by rotating the APS-C sensor and creating a four image stitch of more of the full frame lens than even a full frame sensor could capture, I am capturing and creating a unique look. RhinoCam Vertex is a fun and unique way to get more out of your old APS crop sensor camera and adapted lenses. Learn more in the links below.
