AA Battery Grip for Sony Alpha 7 III
Wed, 27 Mar 2024 06:02:28 +0000

Is there a battery grip that can use AA batteries for the Sony A7III DSLR camera? I know the Canon EOS camera have these AA battery grips. I see that there are tons of Sony A7III battery grips on Amazon, but it doesn't seem like any of them can use AA batteries. Anyone know where I can get one?

As ridiculous as it sounds, the bang on the desk did work for me too.

Analog to Digital Hack ?
Tue, 13 Feb 2024 13:23:36 +0000

I have a 3003 with the Zeiss 1.4 85mm. That was a bunch of money and I would love to bring that back in action. For years I couldn't photograph, and then went all digital, no more slide films. Yes, now there are some, but very expensive.
I have neither tools nor money for such acmera modification to digital, but I can tell you what you must consider.
Have a full frame camera to donate the 24x36 chip.
That chip must get out and be mounted in front of the magazine plate (spring loaded) which presses the film on the housing. That is a work for precision milling and lathe machines and could be engineered quite easily, for sure if you can use 3D CAD.
But the other issue is the electronics. Because that donate electronic has for sure all of the functions in one chip or on one platine, which does not only control the reading and storage of the chip, but also shutter speeds (if there is still one), and more disturbing lens control.
At least that last part is not existing in the Rollei, that had no electronics for the lens, just mechanical, and can't manage your donate lens system either.
So you would have at least to manipulate the existing electronics, if that is possible at all, or develop your own electronics. Not impossible, but ...
I see the mechanical side feasible quite easy, but the electronic side not.
That may be the reason why nobody got that running yet.
Last point is, that camera is not very reliable. Every time I came home from beach holidays the electronic had given up, and I needed to send it to Rollei for repair, it did not like the salty beach air I guess. Plus mechanical issues turning up over time, it has plenty opportunities for such faults. Plus the rubbish battery problems.
In the end of the day you may just be able to re-use the Zeiss lenses, there are digital full frame bodies with short enough base to allow mounting them with an adapter, but mechanical lens mode only.
Finally, the purpose of changeable magazines got obsolete in digital cameras. You can do all in Photoshop or the camera, black and white, any ISO, let it look infrared etc.
That leaves the 3003 as an oddity you could still use, as much as I know there is still film available, even slides. But tbh, Photoshop can even simulate slide film look if you take your time, and use a beamer...
This camera died by digital photography. It is a great pity.

Akaso Brave 7 LE Doesn't Record Sound
Sun, 10 Sep 2023 03:20:42 +0000

I bought AKASO EK7000 not Brave 7 LE. The video has almost no audio. The audio is like 10~20 dB. I checked reviews. Many people have the same problem. Everything is ok. Just no audio. Waste money

I've been using the Sony DSC-P92 a lot lately and just found out about this adapter because of you. So cool! Thanks for keeping these reviews up for all this time. Websites like this remind me of why I used to love the internet. Full of passion, not just for making money. :)

c31:30 error code
Thu, 20 Jul 2023 19:23:36 +0000

I just found an old Sony DCR-PC109 with a tape inside and a box of other tapes, all of which I would love to digitize. But, I can't get the tape to eject. I tried the banging approach, but no go.

Any other ideas?

I open the door to eject the tape. It whirs for a while. And then nothing except for an error C:31:30.

Thanks!
