Usually the Ebay offers refer to insertion fees, not the fee charged on the final selling price including the mailing costs. I check Ebay's sold items and start my item at about half of the ...

I have and like the Minolta AF 28mm f/2 and the Minolta AF 200mm f/2.8. Also, the Minolta AF 24-50 f/4 is a pretty good lens. I too have an A850, a great camera for us older guys coming from a ...

I was walking around with my Fuji X-Pro1 around my neck when someone remarked "I haven't seen a film camera in a long time, I'm glad to see someone shooting film because I am thinking of doing the ...

Whether a photographic image making tool is dead or not dead seems to be a personal wish and/or opinion. If you happen to use Facebook you will find photographic "groups" that bring enthusiasts ...

I definitely came from the film era getting my first camera in the late 1950's. Other than LF I still enjoy shooting 6x7 in 120/220 transparencies, then projecting them on a 6x7 Cabin/Linhof slide ...

I somewhat agree with you, but in 50 years I will be 125 and unless there is a miracle in modern medicine, will probably be deceased.

I was a t a RV show in Florida yesterday wandering around with my Fuji X-Pro1 and 16mm f/2 lens when a young lady attendant says " Oh, I haven't seen a film camera in ages and I want to get back ...

Camera movements that allow you to change the plane of focus and to position the image in the lens image circle that improves the final image. This is what large format film photography offers. ...

What is a pro camera? Is it a camera built to last out of good "quality" materials, or a camera that a person can make a living from shooting for clients? Or is it both?

I have been buying and selling on Ebay for 20+ years. I have only had two customers ask for a refund/return. Both items had issues I was not aware of, so was happy to comply. As a buyer I have ...

Having purchased a used X-Pro1 earlier this year, I am looking forward to trying the new X-Pro3. The X-Pro's have that "feel" to me that makes photography enjoyable. For some purposes my Sony A850 ...

One of my favorite cameras at the time (2003?) was the Minolta Dimage Xt. It had a 5.7 - 17.1 f:2.8 - 3.6 zoom lens that was folded inside like this new Samsung. I still have the camera and it...

I want this to be true. As for the use of titanium alloy for the body this will be good for longevity. However things change and the X-Pro3 may have to sit next to my Minolta Maxxum 9 body on the ...

I was in new Mexico shooting B/W 4x10 film and some scenes were very bright more like the Florida beaches in Jacksonville. The sunny-16 rule was replaced by the sunny-22 rule under the bright sun. ...

How times change! 10 or 15 years ago I would go to "camera shows" that were mostly for used equipment with some retailers selling new stuff. I rented a table once in a while so I could trade with ...

When my interest in photography began in 1957, a local reporter for the paper showed me his Rollie with a pentaprism on top. So clear and didn't blink when taking a picture. Years later my ...

I'd get a GFX50R with 50mm lens and invest in a new computer and printer for wall art.

I have been buying and selling on Ebay for more than 20 years. In my experience market value is determined by scarcity, how well the camera equipment is made, and whether the buying market values ...

How do you lock them on the X-Pro1?

How do you disable the d-pad on the X-Pro1? I am left eye dominant and also find myself pressing them inadvertently. Got a thumb thing that seems to help but find it inconvenient. Looked in the ...
