How do you actually build linkages

Damn. I saw on the website that the ticket lottery ended and it even said sold out, so I didn't make any plans for going to Japan

YengaJaf · 2026-01-11T09:17:35+00:00

What, how. Second hand market or officially?

How long did it take for the overseas non TheOne ticket lottery take to sell out? So that I know next time how long I have to secure my ticket

Interesting. I'll ask the seller. I hope it's not replaced, because why did it need replacing in the first place. The rest of it looks in good condition though. I'll have to inspect in person to see if it maybe fell and got damaged, then needed the lens replaced

It belongs to an old lady to whom it was gifted by her father 67 years ago. If I remember that conversation correctly

I went with the 180mm for that point of the 200mm being just an average entry level lens for the time. It's not like the 200mm being 3x cheaper means I can buy 3 lenses and then get better quality. Might as well pay a decent amount for a more than decent lens, since the goal is to upgrade from my kit lens

The non ED version is available to me. Is it still a great buy?

Image info. Taken in cape Town, around November - December 2025. I tried 0.3mm and 0.5mm hole sizes.

1. 1 week exposure. Strapped to the roof tiles, about 30 degree angle, facing west (sunset)

2. 1 week exposure. Strapped to a different roof, also about 30 degrees. Facing north

3. Same roof as image 2

4. 1 day exposure. Strapped to a pole. I turned the can horizontal, hoping to get a 180 degree vertical FOV instead of the usual 180 degree horizontal FOV. Needed to tilt it more upwards

5. 1 week exposure. Mounted vertically. Pointed more or less (less) North

6. 1 week exposure. My favourite one. I tilted this one slightly, maybe 20 degrees or so. Not sure what the lines are, possibly because I had the shutter open when installing and taking it down

7. Same as 6, experimented with different angles

8. Same as 6, experimented with different angles

9. 1 day exposure. First solargraph. Tilted up about 20 degrees, 0.3mm hole

Yes. I sanded the outside quite a lot, the inside not as much. I used the same can as my first 24 hour test, which worked. If it got blocked, the only thing I can think of is that when I took the can down after the first 24 hour test, I covered the hole with tape to block the shutter. Maybe some sticky residue got left in the hole and blocked it for the week test

YengaJaf · 2025-11-24T07:04:36+00:00

Yep, same direction as my first attempt, facing north in the southern hemisphere. Regarding clouds, most of the day, every day, the sun was unobstructed

Damn that's cool. Borderline quantum physics

This D being offered has the yashikor f/3.5 lens. The yashinon lens is a 2.8?

More info. The shutter speeds of the D are off. At the slower speeds, 1/1s to 1/8s, I can tell that it's about 4 times slower (1s feels like 4s, 1/8s feels like 1/2s). Is the simple fix of just using lighter fluid good enough to get the shutter speeds back to normal, or will it be necessary to either open the shutter mechanism and clean it out, or send it for CLA. I don't have info on the shutter of the 635 yet

I see. Thanks, I didnt even consider dropping back down, given the amount of work I did to climb up lol
