With the interior complete I took Me, Me and myself out for a test run. As usual I had to drive while I navigated and got a sleep in the back.
Testing out the 5D MKII, it's like getting to know an old friend all over again!

Left: Canon EOS 5D Mark II + EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
Right: Canon EOS 5D Mark II + EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM + Kenko 2X teleconverter (C-AF 2X TELEPLUS PRO 300)
Both focused at minimum and both cropped to 0.64 mm Field of View.
Test sewing, hmm will probably adjust pattern so that the waist is not so unnaturally taken in. Nyanko's happy she scored a new teeshirt haha!
A bit of a summer project.
Taking two redundant Hornby Mk IIa BFK vehicles and splicing them together a reasonable representation of a corridor first can be made. This can then be used as the basis for Test Car 6.
The first left hand side passenger window has been shortened, and the second blanked off with a scratch made panel to represent the generator compartment. On the roof a silencer assembly has been made and fitted.
Still to do are fettle the underframe and reverse the bogies (no idea why the prototype has its B4's the 'wrong’ way round). Filling and painting to come in a future post.
Using two GN Auto Nikkor 45mm 1:2.8 lenses in a comparison test mounted to a Nikon Z5 via an FTZ adapter which was then placed on a Benro TAD28C with an IB0 panoramic ballhead. I set up the tripod on top of a manhole cover so it would be easier to level it.
The 764085 lens has one improvement over the older 714595 lens in that it has a better formula of multi-coating on the elements.
The older lens suffers from a fungus infection, and I was only able to get the rear element pair out to clean most of it off. I have no idea where my Ponds cream has gotten to, as that is the best stuff to get fungus off a lens, so I had to settle for plain old 91% isopropyl alcohol and lens cleaning fluid.
I took a series of photos 90 degrees apart in order to get the different lighting conditions and angles. I put the camera in full manual and only made exposure and focusing adjustments. I may have missed on the focus because I haven't used the camera for quite a while and am not used to interpreting the focus assist readouts. I used the original HN-4 hood on the newer lens, and my cobbled-up replacement one on the older lens. I can see no difference in performance between the two hoods.
The lenses themselves, that's another matter. Besides any obvious differences in focus, I find the older lens not as contrasty as the newer one. But I wouldn't say the older lens is bad. It could still use a full cleaning, though.

I always snap a test shot indoors to make sure the camera's ready and working. It's worth it for the one time in twenty when it tells me "NO CF CARD". I quite liked this one.
Test print in low quality. I've made this test of my doll head's lid to check the size and some details.
Tried my new bobble technique on lace, and with reverse stockinette stitch berry bobbles. Lace works nicely, not sure about the berries.
The A-17 series was a direct descendent of the pace setting Northrop "Gamma," made famous by the aerial explorer Lincoln Ellsworth. It replaced the Curtiss A-8 and A-12 Shrike and was the last of the pre-World War II single-engine attack aircraft ordered into production by the Army Air Corps.
Caught in the pre-WWII doctrine that emphasized air superiority over ground support, the A-17 was never fully tested in peacetime exercises or in combat. Its fate was sealed in 1938 when the Army Air Corps determined that all future attack aircraft procured would be multi-engine models.
Despite this handicap, the A-17's design and novel features such as split perforated flaps figured prominently in the success of a distinguished line of Douglas aircraft including the Dauntless dive bomber and the post-WWII Skyraider.

finally hooked up to the pump. It... kind of works, there's some heavy overshoot and I will have to tweak the controls a bit. Other than that there are no problems what so ever, so I'm quite happy.
An OH-58 Kiowa helicopter fires a 17 pound rocket over the city of Mosul, Iraq, April 6, 2008. The rocket was fired into a test fire pit, ensuring the bird?s weapons systems are functional before moving out into the Mosul area to provide security for ground troops. Photo by Spc.

Still Day 2 of my D810 test Drive.
Before we went to the MIccosukee festival we took a look see on Loop Road. I used the opportunity to try and test the dynamic range of the 810 by giving it high contrast scenes of light and shadow.
All shots are hand held. Some post with NX2. This was a real shadowy shot. Detail was kept well when I pulled this one out of the dark side.
