I just type the film dimensions + 'diagonal' into wolfram-alpha and divide by 42 to get a crop factor.


You mean a Pentax K-01?

It's okay, we understand. You don't have things like "movements" or "bellows" on your puny tiny-format cameras. :smugdog:

Pffft that's nothing, I have a 240mm lens that takes 52mm filters (it's an f/9 LF lens :v:).

Edit: adapter for MF digital backs for the old 2x3" Speed Graphic would be the cutest.

Need some help relatively urgently.
Guy here at work (on ship) has old Nikon D100, told me has sensor dust asked me if I could clean it.
I had some sensor cleaning fluid and swabs in my kit bag. I used blower then fluid/swabs and cleaned his sensor in the exact same way which I had successfully cleaned my 5D 2 many times in the past. However, after running the swab across the sensor, it left some really bad streaking where the edge of the swab ran. What the gently caress. I dunno if it makes a difference but the ship's environment is very, very dry. It looks like the poo poo is just not drying off properly for whatever reason.
Can't go out and buy more swabs now because there aren't any camera stores for about 4000 nautical miles and we're going ashore in a couple of days and this guys is really going to want his camera to be working properly.

Any way I can rectify this problem? Now I only have 2 used cleaning swabs and the sensor cleaning solution. The streaking across the sensor obviously leaves horrible streaks across his images. Pls halp!

Use less fluid.

Used one drop on the swab, as had done in the past.
Perhaps the swabs were poo poo.... (been in the kit a couple of years but hadn't been used, although they were more spongey compared to the other ones I had used)

Use a smaller drop.

Today, Sludge Tank learns that "a drop" is not a standardized measurement.
