While sorting out some books for a lady friend, I came across this receipt for my first 35mm SLR an EXA 11B. It had an extensive shutter speed range of 1/2 to 1/250! I would think the lens was a 50mm. Back then receipts required a 2D stamp to render the receipt legal! The EXA 11 took the...

Canon Hansa of 1937

I'm packing my gear for my annual trip to Disney. My major photo venues there are the Animal Kingdom, the Flower and Garden Show, and the nighttime shots. I was packing the the XH1, XE3, the 40, 35 1.4, and the 50-230, but I think I may leave the XH1 at home. I'm more comfy with the XE3 and...

By that, I mean what is the oldest digital camera you have that functions fine in all respects? Mine is the Olympus D-550. I bought mine new, but I'm not sure of the year (probably 2003). It was introduced in 2002. Cheers, Jock

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...

I have another Disney World trip coming and I plan to take the Fuji XH1 and XE3. The former will be for the long lens (55-230) at the Animal Kingdom park and the latter (27/35) for everything else. I normally use a camera bag but I'm wondering if a strap might be a better alternative. It...

In December, 2010, I purchased a Canon G12. It effectively supplanted an Olympus D-550 (which I still have and still works) that I used professionally (no kidding) for several years. (I used the 550 to shoot pictures to illustrate my stories, for which I was paid.) The G12 served as my...

Well, here's something unexpected... Olympus might be looking at either exiting entirely or at least scaling back from the digital camera market. This follows the news that investor Robert Hale has been added to the board of directors. The move from China to Vietnam for their camera...

I've been googling and youtubing weather resistant cameras and have learnt that they're never fully guaranteed to keep the rain out. It's also surprisingly not-so straightforward trying to find info on weather resistance in various cameras. However, let me know if you have experience with...

Just thought I would start a conversation on this topic, I would love to know what everyone is shooting today (or these days). I loaded up two cameras last night, the Nikon F80 with FP4 and the Canon ML35 or Super Sure Shot, I believe this was what it was called in NA, with some Kodak TMax 100...

Since clouds are scattered far and wide across the forum, it seems appropriate to have a specific clouds thread. Jock loves them, so do I, and many others, but a new thread every time is just silly. So here it is, the definitive clouds thread, any time of the day (or night if you're that good!)

As per my thread on the UK Photography Show, I now have an a6000 with the 16-50 kit lens. I've also got an adapter to fit my old Russian Jupiter-8 50mm f2 lens so that should be fun! First couple of test shots below. Nothing fancy but the 16-50 gets closer than I thought it would, and seems...

Not bad for £12.52!

I don't know whether the other reviews touch on similar points, but I shake this one down pretty well. To me, this is the most photographic power ever in a package this small.

My first image with the Leica X-U (X-underwater) camera. Shot as JPEG only on dry land - a spontaneous take in a local public park deli. I think the X-U does well at ISO 800. I should have some underwater pics in a couple of weeks. BTW, this camera has no jack for a USB connection. Leica...
