I painted the adapter “photo black” and the contrast in the images is definitely better.
Ideally it would be printed out of a black plastic or even metal. https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/on_V4xY7cJcMISElnp0 https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/Y-LOKXBjR5TwJwOv5oE

I got to play around with an f/0.95 lens a couple weeks ago. It's easily the one of the least practical lenses I think I've used (large, heavy) but has really nice sharpness and light falloff.

Prepping a couple kits to go out on location next week. https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/nMGewzrmWb65jts1rnQ

I've no idea what was happening during these frames, but they make for some interesting glitch art.

Just for fun, a quick recording of state of the art live view, circa 2008.

It appears I might have a bit of light leak. Almost as if translucent white plastic isn't the ideal photographic tool.

Using my professional-grade Sensor Registration Marking System (painters tape) I have a new offset of -3.5 mm.
Now to wait 3 hours for a new print. https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/RM_Xsuzvps09NVEUE_0

The 65 mm lens arrived so I was able to properly test the adapter. It's safe to say I do not have the sensor registered to the ground glass correctly 🙁

I think I've settled on the design for the real adapter. The goal is for it to be easy to make, ideally in a single CNC run on the back side.

I need to make some refinements to the 3D printed adapter, but the initial prototype works well. https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/JSLhkTDzqqFjupP6n04 https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/_hPkDjlr__ItYUpKhrk

I made a new friend today. https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/kMbkJK2tqdgh6paAkGo https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/5KmsnASWe3cPTQAnErY

I've revied my big 3D printer to begin the process of turning this (fig. 1) into this (fig. 2) over the next four hours.

I've got my train ticket to Portland for XOXO booked.

I did some grocery shopping the other day.
