I still have the same 3 R lenses and use them on my A7RII from time to time. You are right about the 35mm Summicron - it really is special. My 50mm Summicron R is the older version and I like a...

This shows an obvious correlation between Covid-19 and mirrorless cameras: mirrorless buyers seem to be more prone to being infected, hence the decrees in sells.
Hmm... Something is rotten in the...

Of course they know. But the image captured under, let's say, ISO 100 000 has a different quality, or level of artifacts, with different manufacturers. Some manufacturers/cameras have very high ISO...

I totally agree that ISO is a meaningless and obsolete concept in the actual stage of development of the digital cameras. In the case of a correct exposure the only difference induced by using a...

The film negative image is not the final output of the analog photographic process while the jpg is the final output of the digital photographic process. I don't think that the "jpg-film negative"...

"However, there is a fundamental difference: the film standard defined the 'speed' of a film that would give a correctly exposed negative (for print film) when combined with a certain exposure and...

Next time I expect him to shoot an old portrait of Queen Victoria the same way and DPREVIEW to write a sensation article under the headline "Wet plate photographer shoots portrait back in time via...

Oh yes, I remember the ORWO Color Slides...I still have a lot of them. But I was using the flash light instead of the 500W bulbs. I still have 2 developing tanks, each for one 120 film, made in...

Low ISO, low detail, low exposure latitude, very high contrast, grain...It looks like a perfect film for Lomography fans. The low price is the only thing that's not in line with the other...

Very interesting! Have you ever tried it with LF lenses, too?

If that's the case then the resulting image looks really surprisingly good.

@Nick Spiker@
Is the image in the link taken with a DIY scanner back, too? If yes, could you give more details, please?

It is an interesting and, no doubt, fun to use DIY camera. Thanks for sharing.
I like the grainy images but I'd prefer the granulation to be much finer for a 4x5 image.
However, if a digital camera...

The internal lighting of the scanner should have been turned off, otherwise the light would have completely compromised the ground glass image.

It is a superior or inferior photographic medium depending on the purpose of its use. It is fair to say it's a different, reliable medium.
I haven't tried "Negative Lab Pro" but it looks...

Frankly, and I am sad to say it, I can't see any advancements in software and hardware for the digitization of film. The solutions presented are steps-backs, cheap simplifications in the detriment...

Yup! That's the spirit!
Zorba the Greek would have appreciated it, too.

Isn't this the purpose for which Lomography was created: to give the fancy new kids in the neighborhood the...

"all photographs lie"
Photographs don't lie. People lie and they can do that through language, drawing, photography, film etc. Your sentence is a truism, just as saying that language lies.

"all photographs lie", "all men are pigs", "life is a b...h" etc. Very profound, indeed.
