More non photography things! This is extremely simple, and likely very well known to more experienced users of FreeBSD; however hopefully this will help someone searching for similiar info. The command is already built into FreeBSD: sesutil show This should result in output that looks something like this: ses0: <
Sometimes, for reasons still a mystery to me, I get an "Stale file handle" error when trying connect to my FreeBSD 14 fileserver's NFS server. Despite much internet sleuthing & LLM queries, I was not able to solve this until literally just now: service mountd stop
TL;DR: Works perfectly on newer Silver Ring and Blue Ring lenses, less perfect on older Mamiya lenses. Flare is another issue. Overall, it is really nice to use these lenses with the GFX100s, and get metadata and aperture control. Recently, Kipon released a new adapter for controlling the apeture
Recently, I began putting together a new personal server for large language model training and inference. I really was interested in experimenting more with llama models and wanted the faster iterations having a local development machine would bring. TLDR: Script here that creates a podman container, systemd service, and socket
I did not plan to line up the brands, it just happened that way. It is very easy to handhold!‌ Okay not really sure what the name is, but inspired by the alpa TC and Arca Factum, I made the smallest technical camera frame I could. I had the

Did you know Rollei built aerial camera using their lenses and shutters, combined with Phase One Digital Backs: From https://pdf.directindustry.com/pdf/optech/rollei-aic-digital-camera/25132-53145.html A more recent version: Poor resolution, sorry, from https://technokauf.ru/upload/iblock/cd4/cd4cd4ba2608842a9bc71703207c574e.jpeg This is
I recently received the first "real" iteration of my design for adapting Phase One (And Mamiya/Leaf/) Digital Backs to work with the Bronica SQ Line. This one was made via CNC vs. SLS 3d Printing, and so is much stronger, more accurate, and nicer to look at
I reverse engineered the raw format for Sinar emotion digital backs, and created a python GUI tool to convert them to DNGs.
A simple and very thin adapter that can be used to mount a Phase one / Mamiya mount digital back to a Bronica SQ - I got the idea from the Silvestri Bronica to Hasselblad V adapter: https://www.silvestricamerashop.it/shop/en/all-products/312-hasselblad-v-attachment-for-zenza-bronica-
Colorizing 850NM IR images with Machine Learning works better than expected, and Photoshop does much worse than expected.
Something things I have been working on ;)
I found https://lists.sh on Hacker News recently, and started making a list of every single digital back I could think of: https://lists.sh/buildbot/digitalbacks I'll update is as I think of more!
