These photos nicely capture that period in time; many are wonderful.

Also, based on pg. 37 of the instruction booklet, being able to use an orange safelight for film reloading implies the film...

No - before this camera, there was dry plate photography. You didn't have to be "wealthy": to make and see your photos - you just had to be dedicated enough to learn and do your own chemical...

Just the other day I was wondering if Canon would re-introduce eye-controlled focus. The Elan IIe, 7e, and 7Ne had it; maybe others. My 7Ne's eye-control works fine, even with glasses, and there...

Agreed: 50/1.8 IS USM would hit the marketing sweet spot - their 50mm line-up then offering something for everyone. --"Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn't photogenic." - Edward Weston

I have no intention of posting any of my photos online, anywhere. For me, there is no reason to do that and I have nothing to prove to anyone. --"Anything more than 500 yards from the car just...

I've always wondered about that one photo in the Jodi Arias trial: the one where the camera was on the carpet and managed to capture a shot of Jodi's leg as she was standing/dragging Travis and his...

As a 12 year old kid in 1964, I literally saved nickels and dimes for six months for a $19 Kodak 8mm movie camera -- which I still have today. At the time, I used cheap 127-size film cameras. My...

I think this is clumsy and pretentious nonsense.

At least Dali was clever, creative, thought-provoking, and humorous.

Depreciate? I don't get it: as long as the lens is doing the job you bought it for, it has value. Newer and better lenses will eventually come out, but you can use the lens you've got now. My...

Are items from the old test scene for sale?

I am interested in the globe, the robot, and the watch. :-)

The new test scene is excellent: there is so much detail, variety, contrast, and color.

I'll miss the charm of the old test scene - though I was surprised to learn how much depth was required...

Latest X-Pro1 firmware improves AF speed. Also, hard to beat X100s for very lightweight unencumbered approach - you might like having only the single wide focal length.Experiment and try it out;...

Nice photos above - very nice. Are you doing your own developing and scanning or sending it out?I still use Nikon F2, F3/T, F4; Leica M3, M6, and Hasselblads.--"Anything more than 500 yards from...

I love the image created by Oscar Ruiz - photo, painting, or whatever, I enjoy it.

I've got about 40 manual focus lenses, usually NAI and AI, that I use as often as possible. I've been setting my own shutter speeds and apertures manually since I was about 12 years old - so, I...

Take some photos of that $10000 sewing machine!--"Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn't photogenic." - Edward Weston
