You write a prompt, hit enter, and watch the console light up green. Code pours out. It feels like magic. Then you try to maintain the thing a week later, and you realize your shiny new AI agent just built a leaking bucket.
I've been reading up on liquid sculpture about how to make water drop photos, and my conclusions so far is that the equipment is to expensive, but I'll have a chat with some friends over christmas when I get back to Norway. For the moment, read this and this interview on the topic. There are lots of great photos included!
As I mentioned in my first MF lens post, Bob has a great article on manual focus lenses for the Canon EOS. He writes it turns out that the diaphragm coupling lever which sticks out from the back of the lens makes [adapting Pentax K lenses on a Canon EOS body] impossible. This is the standard answer you will get, and at the moment I cannot find any adapters on eBay or any other retailer. Lucky for us Michael Pollet has put this claim to shame. In his article he writes a detailed instruction of how to adapt a M42->EOS adapter to the Pentax K lenses instead. I was planning on doing something similar but haven't received my Pentax K lenses yet so I haven't been able to tell if its feasable. Luckily he's shown that if at loss, this is a great way to go. He reaches infintity focussing and has done some quite interesting modification. If you'd like to mass-produce such an adapter he even offers to send you a prototype for inspection. Hopefully it won't be too long until we can see such product on eBay. Until then we'll all get our old metal working equipment out.
