    Converting TLR lenses

    Just for fun... Has anyone ever attempted, or heard of someone attempting, to convert one of the classic TLR lenses (for instance, a Zeiss/Rollei 80mm Planar) to mirrorless, ie. Sony FE mount? Just curious if it could be done, and what would be involved. Cheers, Nick

    Reykjavik, Iceland

    A collection from my recent trip to Iceland. I spent most of my time there walking across the country (a pretty intense story that I'll share separately), and had a couple of days relaxing in Reykjavik afterwards before flying home. Shot with the M2, 35mm Color Skopar and Portra 400 (with one...

    Winter Hiking - Tasmania

    I recently had the privilege of guiding one of our 'winter walks' on Tasmania's Overland Track. As a company we have only run a few of these, and this one was particularly special as it came a couple of weeks after the heaviest snow that Tassie has seen since the early 90's. A pretty amazing 7...

    Film Lens and purchasing advice for Nikon FM2/n

    Hi everyone, I also posted this over at RFF, but hopefully some people have some good tips here too :) I have a bit of a thing for mechanical cameras and I've been seriously thinking about picking up a Nikon FM2 or FM2n. I've mostly shot with Pentax SLRs before, and so don't have a great deal...

    Leica 50/f1.5 Nokton or 50mm Summicron Type 2/rigid?

    Hi all, I've been pondering which 50mm to complete the M2 kit with and had basically decided on the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f1.5. However, on ogling the lens on the Mainline website it appears they also have a CLA'd Type II 50/f2 Summicron available for $100 less than the Voigt. Now I realise...

    Leica Horizontal lines across frame?

    Hi everyone, I've had a few rolls developed from my M2 now and I'm noticing consistent horizontal streaks across the frame. Visibility depends on the exposure but I *think* it's there on everything... Here's an example (visible across the top third of the frame). For what it's...

    Film Crash course in 35mm film scanners/scanning techniques?

    Hi folk! Well, I've had the first few rolls back from the M2, and while I'm stoked with the camera and the 35mm Color Skopar, the lab scans are making me sad, not to mention poor... So, the next step in my film adventure seems to be exploring the various scanning options... Any thoughts...

    Fungus and reconditioned lenses

    Hi all, I've been looking for a short tele for the M2 and have found a very nice looking 'fat' 90/f2.8 Tele-Elmarit. The seller has receipts for a recent $400 refurb, but the documentation mentions that the lens was cleaned of fungus. It looks mint so I'm just wondering if people have had...

    Lighting Light meter app - iOS

    Hi folk, can anyone recommend a good light meter app for iOS? I've been using Pocket Light Meter for the last week or so and I'm finding it pretty frustrating - slow to operate and some odd control quirks (no EV comp on main interface, EV comp appears to work backward, no live preview of EV...

    Leica M2 + 40mm f2 Rokkor

    Sony Full-frame migration - bout that time chaps

    Hi folks, After several years of umming and aching (pretty much since the release of the D700), I've decided to begin a slow and steady migration to full-frame. This is for a number of reasons, some bigger than others. Since I became fairly serious about photography my style and...

    Tripods Sunwayfoto FB-28i ball-head experience?

    Ricoh AE-L and changing focus point?

    Hi everyone :smile: I've noticed an odd gotcha with the GR and I was wondering if it's just me... I have the focus point assigned to Fn1, and this is what happens: - In normal shooting, pressing Fn1 allows you to move the focus point. - Once you press AE-L you cannot move the focus point...
