LOREO 3D Lens in a Cap 9005
The new subframe 3D Lens in a Cap 9005, in development since 2007, is a sports
and portrait 3D lens. The lens has a focal length of 40mm and a stereo base of (interoaxial
distance) of 90mm. There is a version for APS-C format subframe
digital SLR cameras and one for 4:3 and Micro 4:3 format subframe digital SLR
cameras.

Parallax Compensation
3D photographers will be familiar with trying to take closeup photographs with
wide image pitch 3D devices. The 3D effect depends on the parallax between left
and right images, but too much parallax makes for unnatural 3D, which is
difficult to fuse. A 3D lens with a 50mm stereo base is very good for 3D
photographs in which the subject is 1.5 - 3 meters away (around 4.5 to 9.5 feet).
At the same distance, a 90mm stereo base 3D lens would produce image pairs with
excessive parallax, where left and right images are too wide apart to fuse. The
50mm stereo base lens however would not be capable of producing spectacular 3D
at 5 meters or more away.
The 3D Lens in a Cap 9005 has a focus coupled Parallax Compensation system.
When the lens is focused on a subject at a given distance, the image pitch is
automatically adjusted within the unit itself to suit the object distance. This
works from 1.5m to infinity. The adjustment of the relative positions of the
image pair can be viewed in the viewfinder, or with Live View in modern digital
SLR cameras. Once a user learns how to use the lens, focusing can actually be
done by parallax compensation alone. When the subject appears in the same
relative position in both the left and right image in the viewfinder, it will
automatically be in focus.
Accessories
The 9005 is also equipped with a pair of 58mm filter threads in the front, which
can be used for attaching converters, filters and hoods. Lightweight accessories
are strongly recommended. Wide angle and tele converters should be selected with
care, preferably matched to the 3D lens at purchase. Avoid using converters with
too small an optical diameter at the back, as this may cause vignetting.
4:3 and Micro 4:3 subframe format
On Olympus and Panasonic Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds digital SLR cameras,
the 2:1 FOV crop factor brings the effective focal length to 80mm on the
vertical side of the image frame, making the 9005 a telephoto 3D lens.
With a pair of 1.45x converters, the effective focal length on 4:3 format
units becomes 116mm. The wide image pitch (90mm) allows for excellent 3D
photographs to be taken from 5 meters or more away.
APS-C subframe format
The 1.5x / 1.6x FOV crop factor brings the effective focal length to 60mm on the
vertical side of the image frame. For APS-C format, there are very few tele
converters with a sufficient inner diameter to avoid vignetting. Photos taken
with tele converters on APS-C format 9005 lenses will most likely need to be
cropped afterwards.

Canon EOS D30, D60, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D,
50D, Rebel 300D, 350D, 400D, 450D, 500D, 550D 1000D, 7D (Canon EOS
mount) - Most Canon SLR cameras work with the Loreo 3D lenses in
auto-metering mode, but exposure bias should be set to -1.5 or -2. The
300D has flash exposure bias disabled, but it is known that people have
found ways to re-enable it.
Nikon D1, D1X, D1H, D2H, D2X, D100, D200, D300, D2H,
D40, D40X, D50, D60, D70, D70s, D80, D90, D300, D3000, D5000 (Nikon
mount) - Nikon digital SLRs work with Loreo 3D lenses in manual mode. In
most Nikon digital SLRs, over-exposure is shown on the LCD screen after
a picture has been taken. This function can be used in place of
auto-metering.
Pentax *ist D, *ist DS, DS2, DL, DL2, K-x, K2000, K-7,
K-m (Pentax K) are compatible.
Pentax K10D, K20D, K100D, K110D, K200D are not compatible because they
have a large flash housing which does not fit the 9005 lens.
- most Pentax SLR cameras work with Loreo Lens in a Cap products in
auto-metering mode.
Fuji Finepix S1 Pro, S2 Pro, S3 Pro, S5 Pro (Nikon
mount)- Fuji digital SLRs work with the Nikon mount Loreo 3D lenses in
manual mode.
Minolta Maxxum 5D, 7D (Minolta AF mount) - require
shutter lock to be disabled. Minolta digital SLRs work with Loreo 3D
lenses in automatic metering mode. When set to "P", the
exposure compensation needs to be set to -1.5 stops. When set to
"A" (aperture control), exposure compensation does not need to
change. The anti-shake feature improves lighting conditions by 1-2
stops.
Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 and A700 (Minolta AF mount) -
require the shutter lock to be disabled. These cameras were developed
jointly with Minolta. The Sony Alpha Lens mount is compatible with
Minolta AF lenses. Loreo subframe 3D Lenses are known to work with these
cameras. The Alpha A100 and A700 work with Loreo lenses in automatic
mode. The anti-shake feature improves lighting conditions by 1-2 stops.
The A200, A230, A300, A330, A350, A500, A550, A850, A900 (Minolta AF
mount) do not have a separate feature to disable the shutter lock. The
camera has to be put into manual focus mode (MF).
