Re: Sony A7Rii USB Tethering
Finally had the time to get back to this, and greatly appreciate all the comments. Very helpful, but not exactly the solution I was looking for. After more research, and hacking into the StackShot shutter (only) cable, came up with this simple solution. The switch on 5 VDC+ works exactly as Jfiresto...

Hi John You nailed it, yes, that is exactly the connector I am referring to, from the same supplier. I am looking for advice on building it, and am curious if it will perform correctly without damage to the camera. I dont expect any, and intend on adding a separate switch to prevent stackshot from s...

Vignetting question
Hope one of you kind I have been working with a Nikkor 200 mm as the tube lens between Mitutoyo 10X and Nikon D810. I recently purchased a Raynox 150 and tried it with Nikon F mount extension tubes instead of the M42 threaded style and am getting heavy vignetting when shooting full frame. One image ...

Vanadinite
Vanadinite from the Pure Potential mine, Yuma County, AZ. Vertical FOV 2.4 mm. The nice red to yellow color zoning is very attractive. Image captured with Nikon D800, Vintage Nikkor 200 mm and Mitu 10X APO on a Stack Shot rail. LED lighting by Swarf Systems, reflected and diffused. Stacked with Zere...

Beautiful image Geopressure! The light blue material could be Chrysocolla or Hemimorphite, appears to have a light coating of drusy quartz over it. I have the same struggles as you with reflections, and have had some success with using reflected, diffused light instead of direct diffused. Curious to...

Thanks for the comments Hero. I have indeed been struggling with artifacts. I am happy to say that the flares from hot spots are mitigated with some help from Admin RJL and a new lighting system ( all reflected), but I still struggle with muddling in areas where there are multiple transparent crysta...

The results with the old Nikkor are ok. I do see a little vignetting but it is not a major issue since I usually crop. Overall, I am trying to generally improved the sharpness and clarity of the images. I have heard of many in the micro mineral microcosm using the Raynox and Bellows, hence, came to ...
