Hi there I hope this message finds you well and that it will trigger your curiosity:) My dad spent over 50 years collecting and fixing old cameras. He passed away in 2020 so I inherited over 2000 vintage cameras. I have decided to make a digital collection of the 99 I like the most. Not the...

At 15:00 London time I will tell you when the A7rV will be announced! Clickbait squared :laugh1:

My DD has at last expressed an interest in photography. Inevitably this will lead to a request for a camera of her own to replace her old, now broken Kodak Easyshare. Second hand, just in case this proves to be a fad, but not too old as, if she develops an interest and my M5iii is commandeered...

Why do most cameras have mechanical and e-shutter?

Is very sadly being sold. I always understood that it was a separate trust, and would be preserved in perpetuity. Glad I didn't donate my cameras to them ... URL: https://auctions.leski.com.au/auctions/catalog/id/580 The email: The Michael Family Camera Museum Part One...

If anyone has a customer base who buy a new $20,000 film camera in this day and age. It’s definitely Leica. And oh man, this is one beautiful camera. https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/24/leica-more-like-lolca/amp/

After much consideration I am adding a Gh6 to my 2 G9's and Gx85. And although I have a 12-35 I and the Oly 9-18, I am adding the PL 12-60 and 8-18mm to my other 8 lenses (basically for video with the Gh6). With the AI noise reduction and enlargement provided by my On1 programs I can't think of...

Hi, I recently purchased a Sony SLT65, the menu couldn't be changed from Japanese. Returned it and got a full refund. There is 1 issue that bother's me about that camera though. Is it possible to disable the shutter from focusing at all. I just want to use the shutter to take the picture...

@MountainMan79's post and responses from @JensM and I in the Acquisition thread got me to thinking. Many of us had parents, grandparents or other relatives that were into photography. And like us, some were heavily into it while others were casual users. The result is that a few of us have been...

In a post by Canadian photographer Jim Chung, I accidentally ran across a mention of some of the cool and remarkable sculptures of Tatsuya Tanaka, the Japanese artist who creates 'miniature sculptures' using an insanely varied variety of real bits and pieces of daily technology. And one of them...

Hi, see attached image, my Q, a lovely camera. It has a leather camera strap and a leather partly camera bag. I'm looking for such for my Panasonic TZ100 and Sony RX100 mark 3. Eventually also for my Nikon 1 and Sigma DP. A wooden/cork/leather partly (down) camera bag. A leather adjustable...

Hi, which camera suitcases do you recommend? I need one or two to store my camera stuff. I prefer easy access to my photographic gear.

Something seems wrong here, I just can't put my finger on it.... 🤔 🤣

I have been taking photos long before there were digital cameras. As a consequence, I’ve got half a closet full of slides and negatives that I’m trying to turn into more portable and malleable digital images. I used to own a Nikon LS9000 ED scanner. It was crazy expensive, but it was said to be...

Now that our mu43 community has grown, I’m curious what we think about the new body coming from OM. In particular, what would it need to have for you to be tempted? What price range?

It's been awhile since they did one of these: https://www.dpreview.com/videos/9428442357/dpreview-tv-which-camera-will-survive-sony-a1-nikon-z9-and-canon-r3

So I'm sitting in my office looking out the window and I see a large bird soaring over the detention pond out back. Way too large for a Red Tailed Hawk. Well, we get plenty of Turkey Vultures. Nope, not that. Also an occasional Osprey. Nope. Well then, it must be an Eagle. Why yes, an immature...

This is the Companion to the F1.4 and Faster thread. https://cameraderie.org/threads/f1-4-and-faster-any-focal-length-any-mount-any-camera.52926/ There is nothing wrong with your Camera. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the image. We control the horizontal and the...

Initial impressions of the Olympus TG6 When my Canon G12 died, I was bereft. It was my first serious digital camera; it served me faithfully for over a decade; it was my go-to camera when I ran the Airguns of Arizona blog for over 8 years, and it was my go-to camera when someone in the...

To replace my G12. Priority will be given to candidates who have some level of weather protection (more is better). Some sort of view finder is a necessity. Cheers, Jock

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...

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/
