I fell yesterday on Peebles Island. We were 9/10 of the way around the perimeter trail. One moment I was walking beside the spotter-in-chief, and the next I was on my back in the dirt. Could be I stepped on a root or a stone or maybe just rolled my ankle. The spotter-in-chief would later say...

A neat article: https://www.dpreview.com/news/5912965388/film-friday-this-was-the-first-picture-taken-on-a-leica-camera

If anyone has checked out the "bicycle" thread, cycling has pretty much been my main focus within the past year! Normally I bring my Nikon 1 J5 + 10mm f/2.8 camera setup with me in a small fanny pack and it's perfect for daytime conditions where the BSI 20.8mp sensor really shines with it's...

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.

It seems that Canon will announce a low cost FF camera soon. Priced at USD 800,-. What will happen with APS-C and MFT?

Sometimes, it's hard to resist an attack of G.A.S. - especially when it's for a new camera with a revolutionary image-making technology. But the real question is: how much is too much? Moral of the story: G.A.S. is more ancient than any of us ever supposed. Thorny dilemma: Would you pay your...

Took a walk in the rain at Hudson Crossing Park, Schuylerville, NY, near Lock 5 of the Champlain Canal. We think this is a weather station: With optional equipment: We found holes dug in the ground with what we believe are the remains of turtle eggs nearby. We what we don't know is if the...

I just got one of these devices to test. It is uncanny Chinese engineering so far ahead of ANYTHING I have tried that it makes EVERY DSLR , Rangefinder or Video/Photo device totally obsolete. It is like stepping off a Douglas DC3 into a Boeing 787 It is beyond amazing. The USA is doomed. We...

An ad for this device popped up on Facebook today. I'd never seen it before. I'm trying to decide if this really is a way to bring computational photography to our dedicated cameras, or whether it's just an extra Intelligent Auto algorithm on top of what our own camera might (or might not)...

This is not my area of expertise but was there ever a compact film camera with a lens that has an f/stop larger than f/2.8? They mostly seem to be f/5.6 or even smaller. I know the Ricoh GR compacts were f/2.8 and they were a premium compact back then. Is that as large as it gets?

The Fuji XP90 lives in the door pocket of our Honda Odyssey. I pulled it out today to grab this: When I uploaded the pictures, I found these from July 1, 2020: Cheers, Jock

I have thought about it, discarded it a few times, then got hyped about it again. Getting a camera body solely for the purposes of adapting older goodies. I don't have to care what the native lens options are for the given body, all I care are the specs of the body and how it enables me to...

I was reading this article on TOP, where Mike describes a digital camera design he would like to see; https://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2021/03/digital-dreams.html Many cited the Hasselblad 907x as an example of Mike’s desires...

I read this post on The Online Photographer about the collapse of the camera market and one of the comments in particular stood out to me, from John Camp: That strikes me as the simplest explanation for the rise and fall of camera sales, even beyond the smartphone rise. There were a conspicuous...

OK so I'm a little OCD, I admit it. But after years of looking for "the perfect bag" I started keeping a spreadsheet of sizes so I figure out if the new bag was bigger/smaller than x bag I had. I currently have 7 bags; two aren't really used as camera bags: Domke J-810, I use it as a travel...

Sony just announced the release of a new monster of a mirrorless flagship camera. https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sony-a1-officially-announced/

An informal place to post portraits, products, and practice with all things flash. Techniques, modifiers, gear, etc. Please join me with your thoughts, tips and creations. My dad. An exercise with my new to me V-flat. In this case as a small footprint, easy to up and down black backdrop - I...

Most folks speak of the need for Fuji to slim down their offerings, and I do agree with that. However, with Olympus gone and Panasonic showing little further interest in mu43 for photography, it appears that APS-C will be the small ILC sensor. Having been on the MU43 forum for many years, I...

More from Buena Vista. Note the pictures of the old Texaco station: When I first saw the station, I also saw the real estate sign and thought it was for sale. It turns out the real estate firm bought the old station and restored it as their new offices.

I decided to combine a small project with a shakedown shoot for the X-S10 w/16-80 f4. It's been a while since I did a walking tour of Buena Vista, a town about the same size as Lexington. It's six miles east and right at the foothills of the Blueridge Mountains. It's the blue-collar and...

Just minutes ago. And what was the foul weather? The sky is on fire! Cheers, Jock

I've been considering giving my sister an update to her current camera (Oly EM10) for Xmas. I'm considering the Fuji XT200: https://www.adorama.com/ifjxt200gka.html?CategoryID=240617 She will probably be setting it to auto and shooting away in jpeg. My thinking is that she will enjoy the big...

Thanks to the kindness of one of the denizens here, I am now in possession of a camera that will be my go-to rig when the snow flies, the rain falls, the sleet drives, etc. It is an Olympus OMD E-M1 original edition, fitted with the Olympus 14-150 MkII. This gives me 28-300 e, extending to 600...

I just read that the agreement between AP and Sony will result in most of their photographers getting a pair of A9II bodies and the videographers getting a pair of A7RIV bodies. Being video challenged, I would have expected the A7SIII bodies to be for video. Comments from the video cognoscenti?

I mean, just to have a play with. https://petapixel.com/2020/10/21/lomography-unveils-panoramic-35mm-film-camera-with-liquid-filled-lens/

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

Stopped by Peebles Island today on the way to church. This is what we saw: Thick, dense, moisture-laden fog. So I didn't take my big gun (RX10 Mk4) and instead took the XP90. I got a few shots, but I'm not really pleased with the technical image quality and the lack of a viewfinder (which...

Got any guesses? If it's a WR 1" sensor X40, I'm in! LOL . . . a man can dream. https://www.fujirumors.com/new-fujifilm-camera-registered-and-coming-october-16/

I've had a purely hypothetical interest in the overheating problems of the new Canon R6/R5 and the Sony A7Siii. I say hypothetical because while I have virtually no interest in video, I do teach thermodynamics and practical heat issues do interest me. This guy was one of only two testers that...

The defense calls no further witnesses. Cheers, Jock

My wife just told me that today is National Camera Day! WooHoo! Take a picture with your Camera! Take a camera apart and fix it! Oh. Did that yesterday. And I did not even know National Camera Day existed! Buy or Give someone a camera...

I have the Panasonic Leica 100-400mm and I am quite impressed with the image quality when all goes well. I currently use the lens with an Olympus Pen F. After twerking around with the AF settings I am doing OK with daytime shots of things that don't move too fast but have difficulty focusing in...

The RX10 Mk4 is the "big camera" and the G12 is the little camera -- got it? The Mk4 ticks all the boxes on my great camera list, except small. Small it isn't. So a lot of times when I'm rattling out the door for an errand, I grab the little camera . . . "just in case." That's what I did...

As I'm sitting here without much to do, how would you like this for a camera? Improved Foveon-type sensor with better DR handling and some high-ISO performance without falling apart. APS-C or bigger, how about APS-H for a fixed lens compact, that might be interesting. FF if it can be kept...

I like to ask this periodically. What do you actually do with the video capabilities of your camera? I know that I never really use them and they never make a difference in a camera purchase except as a resale feature. If I want a quick video, I pull out my iPhone. It's really that simple...

Took a walk in the neighborhood and obeyed the dictum: take a camera (Canon G12) everywhere and see what happens. Euclid Ave. terminates in a dead end. As we turned around to head back, we spotted this: Here's the cropped version: Another: Cropped: Another: Cropped: Cropped...

I know the Digilux2 has been sneered at for being old tech & basic, well tbh it is old & slow but it has that wonderful Vario Summicron lens & the JPG's are lovely SOOC. Think of it like a classic car, only take it out on a sunny day when you are in no hurry :thumbsup:

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

Hi all, For a long time now, I’ve been doing virtually all my photography on an iPhone. I’d like to try carrying around a dedicated camera around again, but it’s important to me that it be very easy to share JPEGs via my phone. Are there any cameras which automatically send all pics to a...

About 3 or 4 years ago I decided to get out of mirrorless and just use fixed lens cameras. I settled on a Sony RX10 III for versatility and a Fuji X100T for its style. This was driven largely by my developing Parkinson's Disease and the resulting clumsiness - a sound decision. In the last...

Lately, I've been sticking the XP90 in my coat pocket in the hopes of capturing some weather/sky related images. Its best qualities are that it is small and weatherproof. There is precious little in the way of controls that the user can employ to influence what happens when the shutter is...

Complete with Kodak film inside.

This is a 90 minute film by Fujifilm delving into the creation process of the X-Pro 3. As well as interviews with photographers Eric Bouvet, Patrick La Roque, Kevin Mullins, Jonas Rask, Charlene Winfred, Megan Lewis, Rommel Bundalian, Zack Arias, and Mindy Tan.

So, most people at my workplace know I'm a photography nut. Today, a colleague said her daughter had some questions for me about purchasing a camera. This is the email from her daughter who is an artist: I would so appreciate advice on cameras to use for fine art digitisation to make...
