Title: Re-purposing a cheap drill press attachment!
Post by: John Hill on June 27, 2011, 08:01:35 PM

I made this quite a while ago, the drill press was a cheap attachment for a 1/4" drill.

Distance from camera flange to lens flange is about 235mm, distance from front of lens to object is about 40mm.

Lens is Helios 44mm 2/58.  Camera is Pentax ist*DS.

Coin 0.7sec at F16, almost impossible to focus at wider apertures!

Computer ram 0.3sec at F5.6.

The light is natural winter sunlight on a rather cloudy day and was fluctuating quite a bit.

I can, John - a face, a lattice and the camera stand. Maybe DaveH is winding you up.

Going Off Topic - John, now you've let on that you've got that memory, have you started MadModding on that yet?  how about a "portable" core drive with USB interface?
