Repairing Minolta Lens

 Minolta MC Rokkor-X PF 50mm f1.7 Lens Disassembly


https://youtu.be/TqPCKYv91jA

I found good youtube links which explains in detail how to dismantle old Minolta lenses. In Malaysia, lenses are subjected to fungus infection. Cleaning the fungus should be easy but dismantling the lenses may create more problems unless we have excellent guides.

The youtube link above is one of them. It is exactly the same as the lens that I bought 2nd hand from youtube. I bought it because it is very fast, f1.7. When buying 2nd hand lenses, now I believe that it is better to look for servicing guides first before you buy them because they may need servicing.

I also bought a Canon 50mm f1.8 EF lens but that lens is more expensive at around RM300.

Iso 12233 Tests for Redmi Note 8 Pro vs Xperia 1 vs iPhone 14pro

Image
Xiaomi has more than 40 or 4,000 pixel per vertical, 16 Mp square. Xperia and iPhone with their 12 Mp sensors, only achieve 22 or 2,200 lines per vertical, 4.84 Mp square. Iso12233 can only measure up to 16 Mp resolution, but it is obvious that Redmi Note 8 Pro is capable of higher resolution. The rule of thumb is that, the output resolution is half of the sensor resolution, so 12 Mp sensors can output at most 6 Mp. So 64 Mp should output 32 Mp provided its lens is properly matched. Without any confirmation of the lens and sensor matches for the latest 200 Mp sensors, I am reluctant to buy any of the 200 Mp capable mobile phones. Reviewers do not help either.

Mobile LED Flash light is the best Microscope light

It has a rechargeable battery. I kept it for a few years inside a refrigerator until the battery was flat but once recharged, it still works. It has 3 settings which came in handy because at the highest setting it is too bright for the 10x objective lens but slightly dark for the 100x objetive. I have actually ordered 30W LED floodlights but it may be too bright for the microscope, except for the 100x objective.
