Just find a place to stick it, glue it on, and off you go. No special kits. Size? 1/16 the size of your little finger nail..... the glue? About the size of a drop of water. Pretty efficient. The interior of the camera must accommodate the chip, but the distances are small, the power therefore small, and you would only need to set it once for each time the lens is taken off the camera.... it would not need to be "on" all the time. Yes, I would prefer the idea of mechanical coupling, but how would you do this for lenses made 50+ years ago? It would take special retrofit kits, one for each lens and variety thereof. I do not think so, but then again.... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
