"its build supports efficient light transmission"
OH YOU MEAN THE THING THAT ALL LENSES DO?!
"it is compatible with several models of cameras"
NO IT'S NOT. you can pick which mount you put on it when you order it online, that doesn't just magically make a nikon F lens work on a canon EF body

turns out finland's postal services' parcel tracking is hosted on CF. this means that since their whole system relies on that tracking info to tell you when the parcel is ready for pick up (they only send a paper note if it's from abroad) nobody can pick up their parcels lmao

ehhhhh? so if I'm reading this correctly, I'd have to get 30€ worth of groceries every time in order to get free delivery and even if I decide to cancel the subscription within two weeks I still have to pay for it?

by Jove! I've indubitably got something here!
30s exposure, no lens, ISO 6400 all of them
pictures 1, 2, and 3 are controls - these are just normal long exposures of the room I was in. the fourth one is the one with the Americium
(the red channel was too noisy so I had to disable it)

interestingly, it doesn't seem like the radioactivity from the americium has any effect on the image sensor. the americium is supposed to be blasting out beta- and (trace amounts of) gamma rays which I can confirm with my dosimeter. maybe the sensor needs to be more sensitive, this was at ISO 100

I did another photo with the exact same settings, and I think there is exactly ONE red pixel that is stuck, the others are just noise that the exposure adjustment didn't cut out

30 second exposure, f/0, ISO 100. no lens attached and a cover has been placed on the mounting flange to block all light lol
interestingly, where are all the green pixels?

now we wait for their response if they'd like to buy the rights. I contacted their parent company's media section to ask if they would be interested, and they asked me to give them my contact details and to contact the person running this specific store directly. fingers crossed!

this is a shot I rejected due to the lens having water on it, but I wanted to tell you about it:
this was taken from across the street, and a van was pulling up to a red light. they noticed that I was taking a picture and stopped before the red light so as not to obstruct my view :)
