Remainders: 21 September 2024

ruminator
This is a “standard” test shot of my Lucas plushie using the Sony A7Sii and a Konica Hexanon 35mm f/2.8 lens at f/2.8 (wide open). This Hexanon is one of my best 35mm focal length lenses and is better than the Vivitar 35mm f/1.9, the Soligor 35mm f/2.8 (by a lot), and the Hexanon 35mm f/2. I need to compare it with the Nikkor glass in my collection.

OK, where in the Internet will I go this week?

  • I have a need to install Python scripts (sometimes). Package installing provides utilities to accomplish this.
  • I think I need to assemble a VHF/UHF radio for field operations. Armaloq has a frame for my Kenwood TM-V71A that will provide protection and relocation of back panel connectors.
  • I might have posted this before, but exiftool is an excellent (but complex) tool for editing EXIF data in image files. It is a command line utility, which no one likes anymore. (Well, except for command line geeks like me.) The exiftoolGUI Python program provides a GUI for the tool. This website provides a few examples for using exiftool from the command line.
  • In futzing about with some vintage lenses, I went to the Camera Wiki to look up the Konica Autoreflex T camera.
  • That led me to Rick Oleson’s website because he has some information about Konica cameras and lenses.
  • This Ago Film Processor is on my list of possibles for processing my own film.

Well, it is clear that I was puttering with my lens collection a bit. That led me down a rabbit hole.
