Just curious. I occasionally see good prices on Voigtlander LTM wides - the 15mm f4.5 Heliar for example. I can see adapters to Z mount but curious to see or hear of peoples experiences with these smaller lenses on Z bodies. I see a couple of manufacturers make native Z mount ultra-wides but...

Was watching this video (which is otherwise unremarkable) and the presenter mentioned the PLM lenses use the newer K mount variation which leaves older cameras without aperture control (tbf the K-5 is older than I thought!) Appreciate the K-5 is getting on in years but electronic aperture...

I see the OM-3Ti crop up occasionally for sale (for crazy prices) but not the 3. But seeing this video I can see why - only made for 3 years and then almost a ten year gap to the release of the 3Ti (which continued to be made into this century). I have a fairly battered Champagne OM-4Ti which...

So I stumbled across this, which is wild - " Widelux Revival Project: Jeff and Susan Bridges & Silvergrain Classics Making a New 35mm Film Camera " And it was mentioned here -" What's it Like to Use the Horizon 202 Swing Lens Panoramic Camera? - Kamerastore " In NZ (where I live) the Widelux...

I'm a sucker for a factory process video - here is the process for making the FP, a surprising amount of manual process (I'd assumed there was much more end to end automation), hand-fitting and testing/QC - Bonus, Sigma lens manufacturing process - in many ways, this is the more interesting video

I've got the old/original FA 50mm f1.4 and really like the results out of it. Interesting to see Pentax reboot the lens with the same look/feel/size... (wonder if this has anything to do with the rumoured film camera or if they just want to milk some older designs? maybe they stumbled across...

Interesting if a little flawed (other still companies do make mechanical cameras so that annoyed me) but its an ad/promo so I'll let them off... what was most fascinating was that they grabbed a couple of ex old Olympus engineers to help... Still fairly limited for what it is... 'bright lens'...

Picked up a Nikon F4 a few months back and now I'm keen to run a roll through it. View-finder is missing the rubber ring on the eye-piece - those actually seem pretty rare and pricey. But I'd be happy with a DK-2 (also seemingly rare and pricey). DK-19's seem to have cheaper off-brand options -...

With my recently acquired K-3, I'm keen to try the Astrotracer. One thing is a little perplexing - it says to use Bulb mode - I can order a Remote shutter release, but I'm curious to know why it doesn't work in other exposure modes (or maybe it does?) and if you can at least combine it with a...

Looks like Cinestills plans to crowd-fund a new colour film - the 400D are exceeding expectations. https://cinestillfilm.com/products/making-a-new-color-film-400dynamic It'll be interesting to see some more sample images. Anyone know if this is a from scratch formulation or is it just...

Doesn't seem to be a generic video share thread for random stuff so I thought I'd create one. I'm a complete newbie so I claim no expertise or know-how on this subject. Anywho, I had my GH3 with Oly 60mm macro for some bee-shots ready to go but the bees were being so obliging I thought I'd...

Couple of fun articles / links that might be of interest to people - NPR article on the Comedy Wildlife Award Winners for 2021 - these are always a pick-me-up and they're all pretty great...

I'm looking to experiment with using one of my older m43 cameras as a webcam replacement now we're stuck WFH in NZ for a few more weeks. I have a generic USB3 capture card which takes HDMI-in and is plug 'n play - Windows 10 picks it up and recognises it immediately as a video source. If I...

May be of interest. Definitely seems to be a fan of primes over zooms...

Spotted on Youtube... going to be interesting to see more of these things crop up as home-brew items now 3D printing is more available. Only a teeny-tiny sensor and no shutter-button connection sadly.

Anyone have strong thoughts or opinions on the best AF Film Pentax? I know they are rightly famous for the K1000 & other MF film-bodies, but they seem to have really suffered when Nikon/Canon started to slay in the AF film market-place (ditto Oly who seem to have been destroyed in the AF film...

I actually thought the Nikon F6 was discontinued a few years ago but it appears it happened a few months back. 17 Years is a pretty good run for a camera. I didn't realise it was originally released in 2004 - that seems like yesterday! Edit - looks like this was mentioned back in Nov - Nikon -...

Anyone use a Macro Bellows for slide or negative imaging ? I've seen a good deal on a Olympus Macro Bellows with Slide Copy attachment - like this - Slide Copier – Olympus OM macrophoto group I'll use it with a micro-four-thirds camera and OM mount 50mm f3.5 Zuiko Macro lens. But - reading...

I've got a similar thread over on mu43.com so started one here too. Feel free to chip in and share your stats too. Still about 36hrs to run in 2020 but I can't see my numbers changing much. I suspect 2021 will see more of the same but fingers x-ed it is super boring and uneventful :laugh1...

Fascinating to see what makers are creating these days. Jess Hobbs tries out a Press-Pan, a combo of a Nikon FE & Mamiya Press + lots of 3D printed bits and pieces, to create a panoramic 35mm camera similar to the X-Pan. Also links to a number of other people creating bits & pieces to support...

Some interesting stuff here filmed by JCH of the 43rd World Used Camera Fair in Tokyo

Kind of cool. If I extended my mortgage I might be able to afford one. Hopefully someone will create a cheap knock-off so I can use my Bronica 6x6 lenses. Also noticed the shutter button didn't have a cable release screw-in... seems like an odd oversight. Wonder if the Sony/Oly screen-less...

Noticed some of these going cheap on Evilbay. Anyone tried one? Any good? Or are they garbage? I read that they are similar to the Laowa 15mm f4 Macros but without the Shift capability.

Almost 12 years old but still a fantastic full-frame camera. Post your D700 images, old & new, here. Taken this morning, 15min after waking up & opening the door for the cat, I looked up, saw the corona around the moon and started hunting for a camera to take the pic. Settled on the D700, found...

Fascinating. Not something you could easily do with a digital camera at home. It looks like a Graphlex 4x5. Reminds me of micro-fiche.

I've seen a safelight for sale and I'm interested in it for a lab. I've seen these in use in tv shows & films but the description on Wikipedia is a little vague - references their use in the development process but it seems to focus a little more on developing prints. Can these be used at all...

Anyone having issues with Google Photos (ex Picassa) album image links? Up until a short while ago I could paste in the image link and they'd appear fine. Now I just get the long URL, even thought the Preview image is fine. Same links work fine in mu-43.com which seems to be running roughly the...

Thought this was impressive - Jamie Livingstone took 6,697 polaroid photos between 1979-1997 - https://mentalfloss.com/article/18692/he-took-polaroid-every-day-until-day-he-died Links to a site of all scanned photos, more info on his pics & an exhibition put on by his friends in the article.

These are with a Fomapan 400 & a mix of lenses including the 45mm pancake

Pretty sure I've posted this elsewhere before but a few more videos are out from the Fix Old Cameras channel - I'm a little surprised by the plastic Minolta gears in the middle video - you could totally imagine stripping those but maybe they're sturdier than they look... More over here Fix...

After seeing Jeff Bridges shooting his Widelux I started poking around on evilbay and saw the 2 common variants of panoramic 'moving lens' cameras - the Widelux (vintage Japanese) & Noblex (German). And I also stumbled across the Russian Horizon cameras yesterday too - these often appear to be...

Quite enjoyed this - two high-speed B&W films compared. I've never had much luck with high-speed film but I'm tempted to give it another crack in the right circumstances. It looks like the Kodak is definitely grittier and the Ilford has a smoother look to it. The presenter did well in some of...

First roll through the Nikon FA... I'd forgotten it was slide film and got convinced to x-process it by the shop to save a few $$$... I should have just got it done properly as I'm not sure if the super-grainy look is due to the film, camera-exposure or processing. Will need to run some plain...

First roll back - it was some old Kodak Plus-X pan 125. Some shots were better than others - my focusing needs work (even using the loupe, on a sunny day its hard to nail focus) and some of the speeds might be a little off judging by the horizontal line that appears in a few shots. Some more...

Sad tale, she lived through turbulent times ('42-00) - she left behind 30000 negatives and never showed her photos to anyone. Almost seems like a Russian Vivian Maier. Some of her photos over here - Leningrad's Lost Photographer Her daughter is scanning her photos and releasing them on an...

I has a sad. Better check my fridge & eBay to see what the going rate is. Agfa Vista Film is Dead: Report I had no idea it was actually manufactured by Fujifilm. Which explains a lot; they seem intent on running down their film portfolio. eBay seems to have blocks going relatively cheap from...

Even though I don't shoot movie film, I still find it fascinating to see what goes on in that world. For the film "Call me by my name", they used one Kodak film stock & one lens for the entire shoot. Interesting that they went with a 35mm focal length for the lens & also amazing to hear that...

The Camera Store TV guys have done a live-stream with a focus on Analog shooting - their guest is Olivier Du Tre (shoots 4x5). Some good stuff covered.

Anyone have strong opinions on the quality of old pancake designs ? I've started a scrapbook of a few that are starting to form an expensive 'want' list. I hear the Nikon in particular is not that great even though its become a bit of a collectable. I also didn't realise the new Pentax...

Not sure if anyone caught this? Bit gimmicky but if priced properly and of decent quality it could be fun.

Performs in a very similar way to its big brother (Superia 400) - not shown off to best effect in these shots due to my Sunny 16 metering technique. I'm sure a more modern camera would get better results. These were all shot on a Olympus Pen FV - mostly with the 25mm Zuiko F4 & 38mm Zuiko F1.8
