Getting on the beat of Old Lens plantation, I'm going to try Konica Electro 35 this time, relatively newer one. It often appears in Yahoo Auction at very low price like nothing, this is why I set the next target, but Gaussian 4 group and 6 element optical designing is the same as former manually controlling models.
As a matter for disappoint, Electrically controlled 2 blade iris has strange shape, it looks like a Cross at all. The engineers must have well developed and researched before designing this Cross shape and it will not do harm on the picture quality. Hexanon 45mm/f1.8 would play a good part of focusing on Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor digital image sensor. Fine transparency would be obtained, so I hope.
Les unit has removed from another junk body and the shutter mechanism including slow governor would be removed thoroughly without destroying external appearance. 55 mm hood is available and 8 mm forward extension would allow 70 cm close up shooting if an original helicoid mechanism is utilized.
To tell the truth, Cross shape 2 piece iris construction delays my enthusiastic power not a little.

Transplantation of Konica Hexanon 47mm/f1.9 lens in Konica S3 onto SONY E-mount has successfully completed. Though a similar Hexanon 48mm/f2.0 in S2 had been done already in same manners, this time I tried not to destroy original shape and appearance, so lens shutter mechanism such as iris, slow governor and self timer were left untouched. Also an original straight helicoid construction was left with increasing 90 degree rotating angle leading to 60 cm close up shooting.
As the shutter charging and cocking lever plays a part of straight helicoid mechanism, forming lever guiding channel was required, 3.4 mm mounting spacer was added to keep adequate infinity position.
Though an original Konica S3, one of a cultural legacy, was destroyed as shown, the most important part is survived on Digital image sensor fairly, this is my apology, so my stupid attitude might be forgiven by God, so I hope.
The modification this time looks better than before, ordinary person who glances never realize my hand comfort or fucking, except round shape focusing lever.

I said goodbye to TOYOTA Caldina AZT241W 3 days ago, in spite of well maintaining by replacing necessary periodical replacing parts, 4 motor mounts, dynamo brush and magnetic switch in starter motor including expensive 4 plugs, tire replacement and precise wheel alignment setting. She could be continued 4 more years without any problem. The suspension construction of Caldina was not recent popular Torsion-Beam but Double-Wishbone, this is the most favorite point for me, also 2,000 cc natural aspiration with good power and motor braking effect.
Then, 36,000 km used 2,011 model Audi A3 Sportback is the next one in stead of Caldina. 1.4L Turbo charged direct intra-cylinder fuel injection with DSG trans-axle are it's character.
As I judged by see through eye checking method, there existed wheel alignment and axle construction discrepancies as a matter of fact.
Precise scaling utilizing LASER pointer level meter revealed them numerically, Rear total toe 33.5 min and Thrust angle plus 13.1 min angle value. They would be corrected tomorrow.

I visited Farmers Garden at Northern Mino the day before yesterday, it's my second time. The experience last time allowed me more stable shooting photo style than before. Just single visit is not enough to obtain good transparencies at all, it's as usual.
As for my surprise, two different type of owl were nourished there. One is Bengal eagle owl and another is African eagle owl, both of them could be observed as far as withing 1 m, how fascinating they were to see actually just in front of my eye sight!
Though their beak is steep and threatening, no biting nor squeezing at all, unnecessary to be afraid, they are calm and well-behaved.
Tasty and well seasoned Pizza pie is relatively big size, 1 piece for 2 geriatric is too much, 1 for 3 persons is adequate. All the vegetables are flesh so much because they were in the garden alive on the ground there. Price tags are reasonable.
In spite of Sunday today, running cars are very few and pedestrian is the same. Not alive thing, Virus prohibits all the distribution economy all over the world, how come?

Very few people were walking around both at Shinsaibashi and Umeda, less tourists from PRC and Korea. Well decorated exhibition is not enough to attract foreign tourists under unusual circumstance at all. Also an announcement not to go out except urgent and emergency is another reason. Every treatment and dealing is so smooth recently.
Waiting for 2 weeks might recover this unusually stagnated condition all over the world?
