I see that in the intervening time Baader has stopped producing these filters, but I thought I read in one of the threads that you have a different source. Just a hopeful prospect if that was the case. If that is the case, it is entirely possible that the Baader filter would be sufficient if mounted directly to the optical glass in front of the sensor, with some tape or other material to black out the edges. Did you add any additional material around the perimeter? With such a thin filter there would be quite an air gap, and light could easily come in from the sides as the clip does not make a good shroud. I see in your photos that you adhered it to the inside top of the filter retaining clip. Was this retained in your modification? As well, the Baader filter you used looks quite thin. It is bigger than the filter, and black in colour. For the A7R II the filter stack is held in place by an adhesive harness that plays a roll in masking the sensor from stray light. I took a look at your conversion photos using the Baader filter and I am wondering about something since all the geometry wasn't laid out in photos. Even if they can't supply the part they have lots of helpful information such as interactive parts diagrams. The A7R filter isn't even really a convenient solution, as when it arrives I still have to take a carbide scribe to it and hope that I don't crack the whole thing trying to trim the extra glass the piezoelectric element is attached to.įor Sony camera parts you can check out Encompass. I could have reached out to one of my Asian parts suppliers as they can buy direct from Sony, but that would take time. I'm not sure if Sony even supports the A7R anymore, so OEM parts might not be available. In this case, Kolari was just a convenient source. Any outside person coming to this message board would have no way of anticipating an alternate naming convention, when an established one is already in play.Īnyway, this whole jargon thing is getting very pedantic, I suggest we stop gnawing on bones and get to the meat. No offense taken from your comment, but as these things have already been named by the people who engineer and produce them it seems most reasonable to me to use the proper descriptions, which are already industry standardized and more precise to boot. I wasn't born knowing it, just learned it along the way like anyone else. Again, the jargon can be confusing for those who don't have a background in it (as it was for me), but the sensor industry and the science of optics in general have their jargon worked out like any other industry.

Again, not criticizing, just point out direct and clear approach to matters. Clarity and succinctness is what I ask for and that has been the hall mark of most knowledgeable contributors at CN. This is the kind of communication/writing that an average reader will get lost in the translation. My humble request to you and don't take it the wrong way what you are doing is commendable but you could have explained in a one liner that took me going in circles to understand. With that said, it appears you simply are retrofitting an a7RII with an LPF-1 from a7R and that may 'possibly' resolve the issue. When I refer to such interventions I approach 'em as concrete solutions for the masses and not something that relates to scavenging of parts, not that there is anything wrong with that. That's exactly what my fear was that it is going to be some come kind of ebay market and not something Kolar having access to OEM parts and selling out loud on their website. They get them off of cameras they convert for customers. I think it was the last one so I don't have a link, but you can reach out to them to see if they have more. it was a filter off Kolari's ebay account.
