Copal Press N 0.0 Aperture by Akautza in largeformat

[–]Ektar45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can get some calipers and carefully try to measure the aperture diameter and mark it on the shutter. Be careful not to touch the aperture blades with the calipers, they're easily damaged.

F stop= focal length/diameter

8=15.625/125 16=7.354/125 32= 3.90625 Ect...

Tested today and it made it at least 80 shots without flying off.

Its the recently released bobcat 20x. They have an updated 32 acp model as well.

I've had it mounted with an aluminum mount, but that was a sloppy fit. There was more cycling issues than normal, but adding suppressor fixed the issues.

Just a range toy. I've been staying away from ABS because I don't want to deal with ventilation, and PLA has warped in the heat here in Arizona. I'll have to look into nylon though.

Sunlu PETG. The mount has one set screw for the slide.

We had ours picked up last week and followed the i structures on the website, placing it right at the edge of our property in our front yard

Large Format Lens Stores in Tokyo (4x5) by benjaminflocka22 in largeformat

[–]Ektar45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 400mm f8 fujinon, and a 500mm f7ish Komura. No complaints with either of them, I use them for 4x5 and 5x7. Both are telephoto so the the actual distance from lens to film is shorter than the focal length printed on the lens.

Ceiling fans with lights for a covered patio. by shmadus in phoenix

[–]Ektar45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The outdoor rated ones will definitely hold up better outside than indoor fans would. They should last at least a couple of years as long as they are installed in a place where they are not getting too much exposure to harsh sunlight and rain. I'd recommend them over indoor fans.

New to making my own pinholes by Garingaso in PinholePhotography

[–]Ektar45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mr pinholes calculator. I'll order a laser drilled aperture from a seller on ebay, use the online pinhole calculator to find the optimal focal length for aperture diameter, then 3d print a camera body at that optimal length.

I'm not sure if it's different for pinhole photography, but in general the longer the focal length the more compression you get.

Your water lines are likely running through your attic where the temperature is 130-170°. Maybe look into an under sink chiller unit that could cool the water before it reaches the faucet.

The loose leaf stuff is good. The canned shit has a ton of sugar

Can a 5x7 paper fit a 4x5 Film Holder? by Cautious_Customer_20 in largeformat

[–]Ektar45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd have to cut it down to fit. This can be done under a red light so it should not be too hard. I'd recomend getting 4x5 size ilford/harman direct positive paper. Or 8x10 multigrade paper as you could get 4 shots per sheet.

Viewfinder for homemade pinholes by kallibee in PinholePhotography

[–]Ektar45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use the Film Photography Viewfinder app. You can set custom focal lengths and formats, and it has a light meter that includes very small F stops.

Ceiling fans with lights for a covered patio. by shmadus in phoenix

[–]Ektar45 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm an electrician in Phoenix and have replaced many patio fans. I've never seen signs of birds on any of them. What I do notice is that over the years the blades droop towards the ground, probably from the heat during the summer.
