Within mechanical cameras, The Pentax MX with Pentax SMC 40/2.8 might be among smallest setups. It is just a bit smaller than Olympus OM-1 and co. with Oly 40/2. When it comes to electronic SLR’s ...

Are you sure it’s 55 f/1.2 and not 55 1:2? I am not aware of Yashica DSB 55/1.2. There are Auto Yashinon/Tomioka 55/1.2 (also as a DS-M version) and Yashica ML 55/1.2 that I know about (I have ...

Recently I don't know, in the original LTM mount, it is scarce. I sold mine for 10K some time ago.

We have a specialized old camera stores in Prague, one of them selling only old film staff. There is an army of the deal hunters around, it is like waiting in line for the free iPhones. Several ...

As much as I love most Zeiss lenses, that Samyang 135/2 (Rokinon) is a very good lens for an affordable price. The only cavet is a slightly warmer color rendition. Otherwise, it is almost as good ...

Still scouting the locations for the video project in the PC game style. These pictures are from an very old power plant. Sony A7R iii and FE 16-35/2.8. Many shots were captured at ISO 6400 and I ...

Takumar 35 2.3 has similar swirly bokeh as Helios 44-2 in the right conditions. It is one of the most interesting 35mm lenses if the "character" is preferred. Check it on the web, there are many ...

Since you mentioned Helios 44-2, you might like Takumar 35 f/2.3. CZJ Flektogon 35/2.8 will nicely suit industar-22. Just to name a few.

Thanks, our producer did it somehow, I think he promised them some benefits from cooperation on the project.

Good catch actually, it should be a commercial video in the style of the PC games.

Scouting locations for the video project I found myself in the hearth of the local power plant. Loving industrial and steam punk, it was like Disneyland to me. Sony A7RIII and FE16-35/2.8

Sony A7RIII + Loxia 21/2.8 and 25/2.4

Sony A7R III and Loxia (21,25 and 85).

I don’t know what would be a classic vintage rendering, since there are many different performers, but I can mention a few lenses that I like for their “organic” and/or stylish  rendering. Minolta ...

My pick will be: Cambo Master for 8x10 Linhof Super Technika IV for 4x5 Hasselblad 500cm for 6x6 Olympus OM3 Ti for 35mm Olympus Pen FT for half frame Olympus 35 RC as a compact camera If I’ll have ...

Mine is similar, no clean, round circular highlights wide open in the bokeh, but a little curls, ninja star style. I would say it’s normal, but a few more owners should confirm to make it truth.

I am quite happy with Olympus µ(mju:) ZOOM 105 (38-105mm). It is small with a versatile focal range (albeit it could have been a bit wider), waterproof (mju like), and image quality is fine, ...

That is a great image, thanks for posting. Konica S3 looks a bit different, while Revue and Minolta really looks very similar. Still, there are a few little differences that makes me think why? One ...

Those little rangefinders from 60-70ies are very nice toys IMHO. I have Leica CL, Olympus XA, RC and RD and Minolta Hi-Matic F and 7S II. Hard to pick one, they are all capable cameras with a good ...

1. My choice would be CZJ Flektogon 20/2.8 MC Carl Zeiss Distagon 25/2.8 ZS Carl Zeiss Distagon 35/2 ZS or CZJ Flektogon 35/2.4 MC CZJ Pancolar 50/1.8 MC CZJ Pancolar 80/1.8 MC CZJ Sonnar 135/3.5 MC ...
