What's the point of the chip, other than confirming focus? Thanks!

I have both no-chip and with chip adapters. Since I don't have perfect 20/20 vision, I tend to use the one with the chip. What my eyes sees may not be exactly what the camera sensor sees. It's pretty accurate so far in my usage with the Takumar 50mm/f1.4. This 50 year old lens provides a natural, nostalgic-like, slightly soft focus anyway so I don't care if the adapter is slightly inaccurate, not that it is. If I want a crispy clean, supersharp focusing, I'll use my L-lens. And I can always turn off the focusing "chirp" by going manual focus on the camera.

No point. Sole purpose is to make ad points light up when area they represent are in focus. I don't always trust them. I've seen chips who confirm too early or late. They aren't all bad tho so it's worth experimenting with. You can use without chip but chip helps in most cases.

No chip in a pen drive - it has two critical pieces: a small pen drive plugged into a USB/Micro usb converter

Unfortunately not. This is not a limitation in the device. It is that the best possible scan should equal the original . After scan touch up is possible with software like Photoshop but I don't think it will improve focus much

I ordered a 1280-6338B Chip form ebay. Cost me $117. From this seller. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271214390557 The original chip is 1280-6038B but the 6038 are shitty and have a known short life the mess up after a year, the 6338 is the second version of that chip that fits. I replaced it in my projector and that seemed to fix it. The chip has little mirrors or something on one side that if you take out, and look closely, you will notice tiny specs where the pixels burnt out. The link aboce says 6038, but if you read description, its actually the 6338B. When you take off the plastic of the projector, it is located no more than 2 inches away from the lens. You need to take out the block with the lens be careful not to scratch the lens. Good luck, if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help answer. polak667@hotmail.com

Took this mount into Samy's in Los Angeles and they informed me that chip is more or less decoration. I was having troubles with lens connection on my 7D ("no lens attached" messages) until I took a Samy's employee's advice and snapped off the chip that's on the rim of the adaptor. Worked great after that. It's glued on and does nothing, as far as I can tell. Your Black Magic may accept the lens more easily without the chip.

Hello. Sorry to report that it DOESN'T have focus peaking. Perhaps they can include it in a future firmware version.

Yeah, like Ira W. said, it's got two of those loaded on the unit out of box. Thing is...as Ira indicated, it's got issues. Most of them seem to be due to them picking less aggressive speed settings for the chip than they probably ought to have, coupled with a few other things like that. It's "ok" at the $45 price point. It's not as good at the $79 you see it being sold for storefront at Wal-Mart (though if you only had it as an option...it's still serviceable...). I do know Hulu Plus DOES work well with it as my own add-in.

Occasionally it messed with the focus for a second or so til it worked things out but i never noticed. Here's as good a test as you'll see. http://youtu.be/cj5NBvNEksg

The chip reflects the image onto the screen. The chip has mirrors and as the mirrors get stuck over time it causes white and black spots to appear on the screen.

I'm not sure I understand your question? I'd like to respond if it was worded more clearly. What chip? I'm satisfied with the two I purchased and they work perfectly along side the original which came with my Sony Camera.

Thanks for quick reply, focal point is different on most CPC OTA sizes, so even if threads ok , still may not focus properly. Thanks again.

I've bought a replacement chip which is an updated model from ebay. it is the 1280-6338B and can replace the older 1280-6038B 1280-6039B 1280-6138B 1280-6139B which have that issue. I've replaced my 6039 with the newer 6338 which is meant to eliminate that problem. I haven't used the new one for over a year, so I can't tell you if it's better. but looking good so far.

Jonathan,This is not a video camera, like with any digital camera the chip is only read after the shot is finished - you determine how long the shot lasts depending on intensity of the object being photographed

The chip communicates ink reservoir status to the machine. Think fuel gauge.

If your chip can be read by pickit2, it'll read it. It will do other programs also. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it depends on the software. In my opinion, this CanaKit is awesome.

Yes it has a chip. However, I'm not getting great results with these cartridges. Not sure if my printer needs to be calibrated or if it's the cartridges.
