    The RhinoCam is a camera system that, for the first time in the digital age, puts the power of a full-size 6x6 medium format back into the hands of virtually any photographer. Utilizing the more affordable full frame Sony α7 series of E-Mount digital camera's, RhinoCam enables photographers at any level to capture the dramatic detail and sharpness only available with a sensor three times larger than even a high-end full-frame 35mm sensor. The RhinoCam delivers stunning images up to ~196* megapixel images while offering photographers their choice of low-cost sensor options and classic lenses.

    Capable of creating the dramatic full 6x6 medium format images previously reserved for photographers working with expensive medium format back cameras, RhinoCam is ideal for landscape, commercial and architectural photographers seeking remarkably high resolution at a fraction of the cost. Using an interchangeable lens mount, RhinoCam couples a medium format lens with the Sony E-Mount Camera. The built-in Composition Screen enables photographers to preview the composed shot. The lens remains firmly in place while the RhinoCam’s moving platform positions the sensor for multiple precisely-positioned exposures.

    RhinoCam offers a cost-effective alternative to full size medium format back options which cost 20 to 30 times more than more 35mm digital cameras. This innovative system makes it possible for photographers to achieve the high quality resolution, detail and sharpness found in images taken with medium format cameras, but for under $1,500.

    After the capture process, it takes seconds to merge the multiple exposures into one larger image using automated stitching functionality built into recent versions of Adobe® Photoshop® and other software offerings. Rhino Cam images are finalized using the more accurate flat stitching method, avoiding the perspective errors and curvilinear distortion present in images joined via spherical stitching often found with motorized systems that move both camera body and lens. The result is a 6x6 medium format photograph that is almost six times the normal resolution of a high-end full-frame 35mm camera sensor.

    Note:

  • • Phase One M645 lenses will not fit this adapter, only older Mamiya M645 lenses will fit properly.
  • • This is a manual adapter, so lens functions that rely on electronic communication with the camera body (autofocus, AE metering, image stabilization, etc.) will be disrupted.
  • • Some cameras need to be set a certain way to work with our adapters or you may get a message such as 'Error Lens Not Attached - Check lens'. Please check the support articles on the Fotodiox Knowledge Base for possible solutions on a variety of camera brands.
  • • 'Focus-By-Wire' lenses (such as Canon's STM or Nikons AF-P) requires power to engage the manual focus rings on the lens, since manual lens mount adapters do not power the lens, those lenses will not be able to focus.
  • • Set your exposure manually or meter using your camera's Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode.
  • • If your lens does not have a manual aperture control ring, the lens aperture will revert to its default position, which depending on the lens is either stopped down to its largest f-stop or opened up to its smallest f-stop.
  • • To determine what the new 'Crop Factor' or 'Equivalent Focal Length' of the lens when used on your camera will be, please check the Fotodiox Knowledge Base article.
  • All pictures are for illustration purposes only. Actual product may vary slightly due to ongoing improvements in design.

    Hannah ★★★★★

    The shift-stitch movement is surprisingly smooth for such a compact adapter, and the locking mechanism feels solid when I swap between my 645 lenses. It’s opened up panoramic shooting on my a7 without hauling the full kit, though I wish the instruction sheet covered the stitching workflow a bit more

    Amelia ★★★★★

    I've been stitching together 645 medium format shots for landscapes and the rotating collar makes alignment so much smoother than my old setup. The build feels solid enough for hiking trips without weighing down my bag.

    Eva ★★★★★

    Got it on my a7 II and the shift-stitch movement is buttery smooth, no slop when racking the lens sideways. It’s so light I forget it’s between the body and my 645 glass, and the full-frame coverage is spot on. Solid build for the price, just wish the lock lever had a bit more tactile click.
