This is my first foray into black powder, so I tried to pick something with practical value.

4/3 adapter for a Nikon spotting scope
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
Yesterday, we got to enjoy the view of the nearly full moon through a spotting scope. At 60x, the moon filled half of the field of view! Now, I’d like to adapt that scope to my Panasonic G3. Does anyone know who makes such an adapter?

Why is ebay in Spanish now?

Tried the site today, it was in Spanish by default. Switched it to English, but most of the content is still in Spanish. Any idea why?

Almost a DMR

Eight-year-old Taylor is running his dad’s AR15 with a 3×20 scope mounted, old-school, on the carry handle. Two and a half inch group at 50 yards isn’t a bad start for the first time he shot anything larger than a 10-22. This is also an argument for adjustable stocks — the fixed one is too long for him.

You can now support TFA by buying shirts and hats with their logo and wearing them in public.
While the shirts are unisex, they look pretty good on girls.

Please recommend a workflow for Sony A7R files (Windows 7)
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
With Canon 5D2, I can open RAW straight out of Adobe Bridge (CS 5.5). Can’t do that with A7R. My options seems to be the following:
- Use DNG Converter (free but slow)
- Update to the current Creative Studio subscription (more streamlined, expensive, though perhaps discounts exist)
- Some other path?
I welcome suggestions.

Unedited samples from Sony A7R
Originally published at VolkStudio Blog. You can comment here or there.
I obtained Sony A7R to supplement my Canon 5D2 bodies in studio. The Canons are far more useful for fast action, Sony AF being useless. It’s as slow or worse than the first serious AF body, Maxxum 7000 from 1985! Manual focus is also quirky, with focus peaking being inaccurate in unmagnified view but very precise once zoomed in. The main reason for adding this body is for the 36MP sensor. The extra resolution will be a big help when preparing huge SHOT show display prints.
Two quick examples below done with Canon lens on a Metabones IV adapter. These are JPEGs straight from the camera, reduced to 1200px (click on the preview to see larger). The insets are 1:1 once magnified. This is the first camera I’ve owned that produces useable JPEGs in addition to RAW files.

First impression of Sony A7R and 55/1.8 lens

Auto focus is much, much faster with a native lens compared to Canon lenses on Metabones adapter. Numeric distance readout in the viewfinder is a great help when focusing manually. I am not sure how accurate the focusing is yet, have to look at the images on a big screen. The lens should have been made with a physical AF/MF switch.
Focus peaking is a major win when working with tilt lenses. Canon 90TS becomes a very viable tool even in low light. With all lenses, manual focusing with zoomed in view is excellent. The implementation is much better than with Canon.
User interface is far better than the older Alpha and NEX series, and configurable buttons are useful. Input dials could use more texture, they are hard to tell from the rest of the camera body by feel.
