Old Cameras

My HP-41C works perfectly thank you very much!

Refreshingly these are not all shot with super duper ultra wide angle lenses. Great images, not over worked. And apparently, Nikon should not abandon the venerable DSLR just yet. Who’d a thunk it.

My Gossen Sixtomat runs on a single AA battery. I put a disposable lithium battery in it so it doesn’t corrode if I forget about it.

That’s a tough price point.
For $600 I’d buy a Sekonic L-858D-U with spot meter.

So called collectors items without provenance generally aren’t worth very much.

Okay, now put film in a digital camera!

Its deal breaker nasty.

Five blade aperture? How very Vivitar of them.
Is there are particular reason why a five blades aperture is used?

Like many people I’ve read various articles on Ken’s website. If you read enough of them you tend to see that he uses the same example photos for different lens reviews - so he’s cheating and he’s...

I thought of one more: Richard Haw’s Classic Nikon Maintenance Site, richardhaw.com. He repairs vintage Nikon cameras and lenses with step by step instructions and lots of photos. I tried to open a...

This is a great website, I’ve downloaded several manuals over the years for various cameras and i know of no ofher place on fhe web where I might find this information.

Another great site, and I...

“Children” is a good photo, in my opinion. Lens is a little too wide (looks like 15mm or so) and it has a digital over processed quality to it that I dislike, but the composition is good.

Aka, the asteroid deflector!

I’ve got two: one from the early 90’s and a generic off-brand version called a Star- D D40 Pro Deluxe. I use it for a 4x5 rail camera and it’s perfectly adequate. You can use those things for jack...

It’s #1, the terrible background music.

Only 99%???
I’m pretty sure it’s 100%.

I’m sure they already knew how to build an EF autofocus lens, all they really had to do was reverse engineer the Canon EF to R adapter. It need not work any better than an adapted EF lens.

It’s about the priorities for the trip. Mr Keller I’m sure has particular goals for his photography that informed his buying decisions - he does work for DPR after all! - but mine and possibly...

This is what I do when hiking. A decent camera with a moderate convenience zoom that I don’t take off the camera, because I don’t have time, and a pair of 8x32 Nikon Superior E’s.
But I think the...
