[LRflex] Re: Russian Chip for the Olympus

Bill, Your opinion is really right to me.
 
After reading the review of the E3:
 
http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/43/e3-rev.html#VIEWING
I tend to think that this E3 is certainly customizable to the last bit but very 
complex to grab, one need a good dose of Digital before attempting to change 
one or two options :)
 
A very good review that is.
 
Back to the Dandelion adapter, it is indeed a hack of the four third as the 
small chip emulates the comunication between the body and the lens.
One attractive thing is that it can tell the body what is the largest aperture 
and then, it settles the parameters in hope to get good pictures, well exposed.
 
As said in an earlier post , the Digilux is tweaked for F4, what ever the 
manual lens put. This is because the body has no clue.
 
If the body can understand it has been coupled to a summilux 50mm, pictures 
would be better exposed at f1.4.
 
Once programmed, the Chip should be dedicated to a specific lens as the 
reprogrammation is far from being obvious (now, we can speak of computer 
programming with the adaptor, embedded program, that is!)

I don't have an Oly so this is is just my initial reaction to the text and 
video about the Dandelion:

I thought computers (the one in the Oly and peripherals like the chip) were 
supposed to do the work for us, not create work for the user to perform. 
Shouldn't the Oly software be hacked to do it all seamlessly?

Am I missing something?

All the best,

Bill

Hello out there! I was wondering if any of you had tried the Russian DANDELION 
AF focus chip which is programmable? On the site 
:http://oly43club.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=351 They offer a video which is 
not too clear except if you understand that the manipulator reprograms the chip 
to match a certain aperture and focal lens. Best regards & Esater Greeting
