John Hill:
Patience! I cant tell you what it is until I know myself! :med:
John Hill:
Ahhhhh! Easy guess!
Not recommended for use in Baghdad, Kabul or New York!
For the shutterbugs: Pentax ist*DS digital SLR fitted with Pentax 1.4x Autofocus Adapter and Takumar SMC 1:4 f300mm prime lens. Effective apperture 1:5.6, focal length 510mm, (focal length in 35mm terms 755mm).
The project is not finished, I need to run a wire from the trigger switch to the socket on the camera, I will be adding a laser pointer as a focus aid for nocturnal use the theory of which is yet to be proved! Two flash guns will be mounted, a Pentax AF-360FGZ and a COSMOS AF360. The theory is that using the laser pointer as a focus aid I should be able to photograph interesting noctural creatures, kiwis (feathered kind), possums (the Australian kind), penguins (yes, we have penguins living in our suburb), long range bedroom recon is not on the agenda!
The switch system looks complex but that was an easy way to do what I need, first 'pressure' will turn on the laser and put the camera in auto focus mode, second pressure will kill the laser and trip the shutter along with the two flash units.
Well thats the theory anyway! :med:
