I ordered the EFH v3 on Feb 2 from Andrew based on his sales email. On March 4 I got a dispatch update, and received the EFH in SoCal on March 12th. For me, that met expectations, and I was fine/pleased with communication, packaging and delivery timeframe
I got the EFH-09-KIT… PLUS 35mm Slide Mask Bundle sale price of £95 instead of Normal Price of £90 GBP + £17 GBP = £107 GBP
My question - has anyone looked into using the EFH and camera in a horizontal setup?
I have an APS-C camera and APS-C 60mm macro lens that only needs just over 3" from front of lens to negative (just under 8in from camera tripod mount screw location to negative). So I was thinking of getting a focusing rail and mount my camera on one end, and the EFH to other (have to come up with L-bracket, or ??)
I’m thinking my options are
- asking Andrew to custom make a lower metal panel/plate (the one below the top mask) that extends such that screw holes could be drilled to direct mounting to end of a focusing rail… but this seems too rail specific [and therefore not worth Andrew@EFH’s time]
- or an L-bracket. then issue is attaching to EFH. I could see:
- getting longer metal (vs original plastic) screws holding the entire EFH unit, and using the extra length as mounting points; or
- trimming (or getting shorter) on the white spacers between the layers in the EFH (diffuser, middle, and top mask) and using the resulting space on the screws to attach a plate/bracket (with a central opening that obviously wouldn’t block the light source to negative to lens area)
Thoughts?
