great! I guess I got it right. I got a 23 Pacemaker without a lens, so I made a lensboard out of cardboard and craft foam and jammed a little magnifying glass in it that covers the 2x3 area and then some. I found Infinity, and did the calculation thing and got f3.5. I was thinking of doing the Waterhouse stop thing in front of the lens like a cross between a Cokin filter holder and a Lensbaby. Think it'll work?
That was sweet. After performing the drill with pencil and ruler for 30+ years, I have been set free with pasta, Cheetos, and a a lump of coal! That was a great presentation.
J this is brilliant, it's a great lesson on f-stop. by the way i have that exact same hat. I can't wait for your next video, and i'm looking forward to the APUG conference.
I am very excited to see someone (photographer) that can explain f-stop BRILLIANT!!
I know a lot of photographers that have no idea where the f-stop comes from or how it is calculated.... I am going to use this in my next lesson for my college students.
Oh, one little thing... I didn't make it clear that this is a good working method to get in the ballpark with simple lenses. For various reasons it isn't going to be useful in trying to measure the Jujinxto Telezoom off of your 16 Jigawatt Picanator DSLR.
Awesome video. WE NEED MORE!

I don't have any Cheetos, but I do have a surplus of caterpillars. Will this work, or should I choose a non-living item?

Loved it. Humour versus the complications of photography.

But that lens isn't a mystery, anyway.
