I have been making armor for a while. Today after putting together some of the scales, I had to test them against impact of a sharp object with high impact. The throwing axes used, weigh 2 pounds 4 ounces, or one Kilogram each. It took a few tries to hit the armor but after I had, I finally managed to break the scales with the tip of the throwing axes.
While the backing used for the impact test does not simulate real impact from a claw, or tooth, it does give a fair idea that it would significantly slow the force of a sharp object trying to pierce what is behind it.
The thread used for this test is a low test weight cotton twine, and held up as well as could be expected for the circumstances.
The velocity of the average throw is about 25 to 30 feet per second (time from thrown axe leaving my hand until impact at target) makes it about 17-24.45 Mph
I am not well versed in physics, but can guess that as the points on the axe are less than 1/4 inch across, with 2 plus pounds of force each behind them divided out between them, there is over a pound of weight hitting the scales. there is little to no give of the backing as it is wood, and each of the rounds weighs about 80 pounds. they did rock back about an inch when they were hit. the blades bit in about 2 inches in the unprotected area, and about 1/4 to one half inch into the armor. Suffice to say, I think this will stop light grazing damage, but will not stop serious point impact. I expect broken bones, or at the least serious bruising from impact, but less probability for large open cuts from a slash.
Later tests with different impacts will be forthcoming, but for the moment, this is the hardest impact testing that would show the worth of what I have been working on.
Further, of the 4 sets of armor made, only one withstood the impact and did not break. it had double layers of scales and the twine holding it snapped on impact. the smaller scales experienced the similar damage with no scales being visibly damaged, but the twine sheered and all the scales flew apart.

Here you see the effect of the different ISO settings of the Panasonic Lumix LX3, the upper crops are jpeg (out of cam) with noise reduction -2. In the middle you can see an ISO 800 image with the same jpeg settings except that nr is +2.
Below you find 2 RAW crops with ISO 800 and 1600.

Jonathon let me test out some of his lighting gear yesterday! Had a lot of fun and learned a lot! Thanks again Jon (he took this shot)!
I am not a very good model btw...well, wasn't trying really...just sitting still. :)
(crappy quality sorry)
Oh. My. Goodness.
This was so intense, the entire test was intense. haha, I was nervous for Ian.
The guy sitting next to me said it was one of the best black belt tests he's ever seen!
I met someone like me and he was just so cool.
I am so inspired and grateful.
This guys hashis own dojo, and he plays music and he is a graphic designer and....Oh. my. god.
I feel like I can succedd and he went out of his way to talk to me!
And, wow.
I can't even begin to tell you how good it felt to be encouraged by someone like me!
Ian, did such a great job!
I mean my goodness.

a quick test of the Nikon 28mm f2.8 on the A7R. I already had a Vivatar 28 with a Canon mount but I had purchased a variable ND filter mount and it was for Nikon. (most of my fast lenses were Nikon before I sold them) I'll use this combo for some long exposure experiments...

Here's a shot from the first test roll from the new 6x9 pincam. I can't figure out the edge banding issue, except that it might be a function of the modest light leaks from the seams of the film back. The back didn't have any light seals except in a couple spots, so I cut some and installed them today before shooting another test roll.
This was with Fuji Acros and about 2-3 second exposure. Developed in EcoPro (Xtol) 1+1 for 10 minutes.
Brian Cuyler suggested the name "Kevin" (after the Bird of Unknown Species in the Disney film "Up"), so the new pincam is hereafter known as "Kevin".
