  • Awesome video. WE NEED MORE!

  • 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?

  • Cheeto I'm hungry...good tutorial Jason

  • You made me laugh. You get 5 stars! Good job.

  • 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.

  • ...and now the coal comes in... splendid. Great stuff.

  • You are funny. I can't stop watching.

  • magic guy! tortellini stands to the photographers as "the bone to the dog"

  • inches or tortolinis. haha I love it. good video! watched all 9.45mins of it!

    great teacher!

  • Ok Brilliant!! So lets see some of your photo work.

  • This is 10, your creativity and your humor is A+.

    Thanks again, Feraidoon

  • 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.

  • Still slightly confused - but thanks. The fog is beginning to clear LOL

  • 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.

    Thank you....

  • 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.

    But that lens isn't a mystery, anyway.
