arnabdas Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Can the PN-11 be made matrix-compatible? I'd guess it doesn't need a chip -- just the linkages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnabdas Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 Thanks Vivek! Now only if someone could do this for me for a reasonable fee.. let me see -- Roland Eliott might be the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivek iyer Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Arnab, Send me the PN-11 and the Kenko tube. If you can bear with me (time that is- 2-3months- to be on the safe side) I will do it for you. No charge! Vivek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnabdas Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 Vivek you're generous! I'm ok with the timeline :) Seriously -- if agree tehn I will send them across (buy online and ship to your address) early next year (mid-Jan). BTW R Elliott doesn't do PN-11's ... Perhaps you can already guess that I'm doing all this for just that tripod collar?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebogaerts Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I emailed Damien and asked him how much he'd charge to do his modification. He said 1500 euros. :) There's a small market for this sort of thing, but a market nontheless for this kind of modification. Rolland Elliot has recently shortened his list of lenses that he will 'chip'. I emailed him to ask if he'd be putting the 28mm f/2.8 back on his list and he said he is too busy to take on more lenses. Because of that, I doubt he'd do anything like the PN-11 modification.

ajaytyagi Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Arnab, I didn't think you cared that much about Matrix metering?? I remember you saying that you almost always found middle tone subjects?? Does the FM3A have matrix? Is this for your new swanky D70 for Spot/Focus area combo? Anyway how is the US treating you?

arnabdas Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hi Ajay, I still don't care about matrix metering but I do care about some sort of metering!! If you didn't already know -- the D70 meter goes dead if anything non-CPU is fitted, including the PN-11. And yes, I'm loving my US trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajaytyagi Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Yeah, I am 'chipping' my 400 3.5 for the same purpose of using it with a DSLR in the new future. I have the PN-11 and would rather get an inexpensive incident meter or something to keep it usable (and ofcourse add Shaw's formulae for macro, reciprocity etc). BTW, I am still attached to my trusty F5 but the lure of a 600 3.5 (1.5X)is just too much temptation. Rolland Elliott is currently converting my lens. Well glad to hear you are enjoying your stay. I can send you some good links for Bird Photography in Florida. Let me know or Google it. AT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
