@pjonori It's certainly more than I was expecting. Of course I'm working entirely from measurements with no reference specs, so perhaps it's not surprising.
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
@pjonori Looks like it's a whole 3.5 mm! It looks like both my measurements and assumption of how deep the sensor is were wrong.

Below is an example. It's a throw-away photo, but the rendering is what caught me. The focus is off and the subject is soft. But I loved the look - it has enough detail to get the point across, but the unimportant details aren't able to be rendered.
Now all of the sudden I'm smitten with the idea of playing with a '40's or '50's era lens.
I'm going to have to suffer through the "live" view on the back to figure out whether the adapter is too thick or thin.
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 🙁
@pjonori Maybe this will help encourage me to actually update it a little more often :)
@pjonori I do some blogging about photography workflows and automation.
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.
The next step is finding a new lens. The 85mm that came with it doesn’t have PC sync and my 150mm is too long.
@pjonori Thanks! There are some more photos of the camera elsewhere in my timeline. I’ll definitely share more as the project progresses.
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

Programming is great because you can just take that huge messy chuck from the middle of your function and hide it away under a new name in a new function and feel good about how you "cleaned up" the original function by abstracting the internals.
This is exactly how I used to clean my room as a kid - I'd refactor all the junk on the floor to be under my bed. Boom - problem solved.
Success of the day: replaced some old janky code with some much simpler Hazel rules!
Now the whole system won’t be a Blackbox to anyone but me.
I'm not sure how much of a professional #photography and DT community is here yet, but you never know.
There's a project I've been working on for a while, called CaptureBot, that I'm looking for beta testers for.
Check it out: https://emory.coffee/applications/capturebot/
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.
@kensanata I'd like to be listed in Photography.

Shout out to the app.net survivors who made it on here
My cat brought in a bird today, and as he's wont to do, ran immediately under my bead. In the process of retrieving the traumatized creature I found half of a mouse head and a dried stomach.
I really don't want to know how long they'd been there 😰
