I don't think anyone who looks through the viewfinder with their left eye misses the film advance lever. On the side topic, I love manual shifts. I've driven them for 60 years but the dual clutch ...

I looked at the EXIF on your images and they show that the flash didn't fire, which makes sense given the lack of shadows. So what you've got are 2 images with different white balance. The flash ...

Back in the rangefinder days, most "normal" lenses for 35mm cameras were 50mm. But when SLR's came out, it turned out that fast 50mm lenses like f/2 Planars wouldn't clear the reflex mirror. So ...

My creativity has declined since the age of 15. At that age, I could compose and improvise music pretty well and my photography was very interesting. It's been downhill since then and at my ...

It's really annoying to see what someone with talent can do.

You sort of have to learn optics. Do you want to learn optics? It's kind of mathematical. Fundamentally, lenses interact with each other when you send light from one lens into another lens. It ...

I remember this from the last century. It was hard.

North Dakota? I figured they would have blizzards starting in August. I mean, it's snowing in California now.

Yes. Use a phone.

I did one a long time ago: Took some fiddling around in Photoshop.

Well, I still use my whole macro kit from around 1984. That's a 55mm f/2.8 Micro Nikkor, PK-12 and PK-13 extension tubes and a PB-6 bellows. And I still have my Gitzo tripod from around that date ...

I've only had trouble with lenses with big front elements; I think it's hard to make big filters flat.

Does that really work? Salt is pretty crunchy and I really don't like wiping it off the front element. I use clear filters and wash them off in the sink with running water.

I used several 35mm film cameras in the past. I always thought they produced lousy images because the negatives were too small. When using film, I shot a lot with 4X5 cameras. No complaints about ...

You had problems getting Molex connectors? That's really bleak. I would have complained to the surviving Koch brother about that.

I'd also suspect that the color correction would be poor because they're only going to be looking at phosphors so they would just have to be okay with green light.

Yes. I was thinking of doing that. I mean, it's got all these gorgeous dials on it. Why don't I just turn them?  And I have some real good AI lenses like the 105mm f/2.5. I really like the way I ...

I know that F-mount and Z-mount lenses display corrected apertures as they focus on their respective camera bodies. But does an F-mount lens on an FTZ adapter display the corrected aperture? Since ...

I can't. I traded my FE2 for it.

I'm quite mystified. Some of the shots look like 35mm Tri-X.
