My colleague of the optical division at work tried to jam the shutter with a match but didn't succeed. In any case we both were not happy with this method. The other day he made the following construction on a optical rail:
When you handle the shutters 'synchronic' (olympus within the 1 sec shuttertime of the digital camera), you can make photos on the computer screen. He succeeded within 20 trials of front lens positions to make sharp photos again! After that he tried the 'infinite' focus position and the church at about 4000 meter was sharp too. Afterwards I put a film in the camera and made test photos at several distances and they were sharp at the expected distances. Perhaps you can help other people with this universal method. |
