Bonjour My Pixels. J'ai l'habitude, dans l'atelier que j'anime, de faire faire des kaléidoscopes classiques à mes adhérents. Je découvre avec ravissement aujourd'hui cette autre méthode très spectaculaire. Merci pour ce tuto très clair et je vais l'expérimenter à l'atelier. Juste une question: Lorsque vous avez marqué en couleur vos rayures du côté tain, vous avez utilisé une série de couleurs. Lorsque vous avez retourné votre triangle pour remarquer en couleurs sur l'autre face, vous n'avez pas utilisé les mêmes couleurs en surimpression. Cela a t-il aucune importance, ou est-ce délibéré, et quelle incidence cela a-t-il sur le résultat final ? Bien amicalement de France Hello My Pixels. In the workshop I run, I am used to having my members make classic kaleidoscopes. I am delighted to discover today this other very spectacular method. Thank you for this very clear tutorial and I will try it out in the workshop. Just a question: When you colored your stripes on the tan side, you used a series of colors. When you turned your triangle over to notice in color on the other side, you did not use the same colors overprinted. Does this matter, or is it deliberate, and how does it impact the end result? Kind regards from France

@my-pixels3 ай бұрын
You are welcome! It's hard to tell if the body has been disassembled by just looking at it. But there is a way. There is a couple of copper foil warranty stickers under the bottom plate. You can see them here kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6iscpempKaChbMfeature=shared&t=51 These two stickers come nice and flat from factory. If they are wrinkled, this means they have been removed previously to remove the two screws underneath. So all you need to do is to remove the bottom plate and take a look at the foil stickers.

@@my-pixels thank you very much for your response! I carefully watched your video, and understood which copper foil you mean. I’m really sad now, because just orders on eBay like new camera with scratches on all 6 bottom screws. I don’t know reasons why the camera was disassembled, for lens release issue or another, but all rubbers looks like new and overall too, and shutter count 3k only. So it can opened for several reason which I don’t know. Thank you very much. I need wait for delivery and after that if will see scratches on the screws front of my eyes I’ll initiate dispute because it’s refurbished, not used/like new. Thank you very much again!

How do u calibrate the sensor to remove any deltas, and at what point u have to do all the checks?
@my-pixels4 ай бұрын
The sensor position is measured before the removal. The calibration is done after the sensor is put back to its place to make sure it's perfectly parallel to the lens mounting flange and to ensure the built-in autofocus works properly. This means the viewfinder AF system must be in sync with the on-sensor AF system. Calibration is done by using proprietary equipment and unfortunately this information cannot be disclosed.
@taktsing49694 ай бұрын
I have just completed the IR conversion on my EOS 6D. I replaced the hot mirror with a quartz plate which I measured its shift before installation. I then calibrate the flange distance with a height guage on a calibrated flat surface. Because I did it in a laminar flowhood, the CMOS is dustless and I feel very satisfy. Besides, I removed the dust reduction piezoelectric element and glued on the quartz plate and the camera in order to keep its dust reduction function.

@yuradodel4 ай бұрын
Nice video. I bought a cheap T3i with a broken autofocus. I'll use it exclusively with telescopes, so autofocus is irrelevant. I understand that the sensor must be parallel to the lens plane. However, would attention to the sensor's distance still be relevant, since it will no longer be used with "normal" lenses? Or could I move the sensor as much as I wanted?
@my-pixels4 ай бұрын
The position of the sensor still kind of matters because most telescope flatteners/reducers have back focus at 55mm. But it's not always the case. I had a flattener that worked best at 67mm instead of the factory recommended 55mm. So even if your sensor is 0.5mm off, it will likely have no effect on the image quality in the corners of the frame. Just make sure the sensor is parallel to the lens mount flange.
