  2. Re: Shutter Aperture not matching theoretical size

    We are working on a project that uses a motor controlled aperture that can be used with many different lenses. We want the user to be able to input some info into the controller i.e maximum aperture...

  8. Re: Disastrous Consequences (solved: fog with Intrepid lensboard)

    Hi Bernice,
