Just started with my first Mobius and after some Computer and Windows issues got access to parameters with mSetup (5.0.1.1) and
Web Cam mode using CyberLink YouCam. Occasionally I can lock up the camera by playing with YouCam setting.
Or, if I try to enable Windows Camera.
I'll try and post enough details and pictures so others can try various lenses. There are probably better ways of going about this but I'm using mostly what I have lying around.
I have a couple 2.8-12mm, F1.2, and the 'Longest' M12 I have is a 25mm, in C mount 7.5-50mm, f1.4 but 50mm ain't enough
So, I play with old 35mm lenses, and some 6X7 (just for shock value ).
Sorry, I don't have any f1.2 apertures in my with long focal length lenses.
A lot of this will follow what I did with my G1W dashcam in another thread. The G1W is convenient because of the display, but the MAXI is more of a 'camera'.
I started with a C to M12 adapter and put a 13mm IR cut filter in the front with a couple dabs of epoxy.
Assembled and could not get to infinity focus. The back focus works well with other M12 cameras so I trimmed the nose of the MAXI case (Shhhhh).
Seems the lens holder is coated on the inside (anodize?) and threading the adapter dropped specs onto the sensor.
Took the holder off and directly cleaned the sensor, over and over. Finally think I have it clean.
So far I've tried a few Pentax K mount lenses-a 28-80mm and a 28-300, and a Pentax 6X7 165mm. During daylight (cloudy) the MAXI handles stopping down well,
f8 gives a good depth of field and sharpness.
I post pictures soon and maybe a couple of videos.
