Old Cameras

Looks like a non-telescoping design when zooming or focusing? Unlike the 24-70. If so that will help keep the dirt out.

I think 250mm is equivalent to 250mm regardless of the format. It’s only correct to specify the equivalent field of view, which I know is what is being implied, but it should always be specifically...

I liked the window (sometimes tinted red) on some cameras that allowed you to view the side of the cassette after it was loaded. You might forget what’s in the camera if you didn’t shoot the roll...

Tripod stiffness and rigidity comes from the legs, almost any ball head, once tightened, is absolutely rigid. The legs need to be heavier or larger diameter to be stifffer, or mechanically...

Shhhhh, you’ll wake the Leica Troll. Nobody wants that.

I was shooting my F5 today with 28-105 AFD in Tri-X mode. It doubles as a leathal weapon.

Well, as long as it’s beautiful and hand made and all.
In Vienna no less.

I’m guessing that some photos turn out better than others. To me this picture of a woman in front of a distant background is not terribly challenging. Parts of the photo are blurred far too much....

Hear differences like the difference between a high fidelity recording played back over state of the art equipment vs an mp3 played through your phone, and many people can’t tell which is which...

5 volt USB is a fail for hearing. How many amps? At 2 amps / 10 watts you’ll barely know it’s turned on and the battery will be dead in no time. They need to advertise performance specs. Silly idea.

Zero bids.

Without provenance, it’s worthless.

I agree. I have several old FD and FL lenses and that mount is completely different with no mechanical communication via the mount whatsoever. It does look vague like a breech mount where the...

Now if they would only remove all the pictures of peoples fake lives. But then there would be nothing left.

Buy the original, save some money!

Then for the sake of being non-political let this man have his opinions and just view the pictures. But you can’t of course, because it’s sonething you disagree with and you therefore have to...

I like the swan picture a lot but immediately I can’t help thinking that the colors have been heavily manipulated for effect. And that ruins it for me. I’d love to see a completely neutral unedited...

I wouldn’t call it “marginally” better output than an iPhone. The iPhone has to fake/simulate a lot of its output, but you may not appreciate the difference if you’re only viewing that output on...

For many things I don’t think AF fine tune is an issue. Especially for landscape/travel photography. If you’re shooting portraits with a fast lens wide open - perhaps. Viewed normally, I...
