The Camera Fusion Metaformat Stitching Back Kit consists of two components.  The SB01 Stitching Adapter, and the GG01 Ground Glass Adapter.  These two components work together to form a complete solution for composition, focus and capture using a DSLR camera as a digital capture back for 4x5 Large Format cameras.

Ideally suited for macro photography, table top or studio work, as well as art reproduction, the MetaFormat Stitching Back allows you to quickly and conveniently create image sizes over 200MegaPixels that can be printed with stunning results at 300dpi . It also serves you well for some architectural and nature photography. Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) under the Toolbox describe these applications in detail.

Following three familiar steps, you begin by composing your image on the Ground Glass (GG-01). Then remove the GG-01 and replace it with the MetaFormat Stitching Back (SB-01) and your DSLR. You then use your DSLR to take multiple digital images (or image tiles) across the area of the large format film plate and stitch them digitally to produce extremely accurate, high resolution images. Refer to our Product Brief on this page for a detailed description and our product demo.
