Somewhere on t’internet there’s a comparison of a Leica M series digital and a film Leica using CMS20. Nothing special, a photo of a noticeboard from the other side of the tracks in a station.   ...

Given that it’s been seven months did you eventually get a solution ?

Different things are important to me in different types of camera On a manual focus (film) camera I want to have a bright screen and some focus aids - split prism and microprisms.  I actually like ...

Most of the charity shop stuff I’ve bought from eBay has been pretty good and the descriptions are good, so I’ve come to that conclusion too.  Not necessarily absolutely expensive but will get a ...

The few charity shops here selling cameras tend to only have fixed lens point and shoots like you’d get free with breakfast cereal in the 1990s, but with a silly price tag on it.   Most sell on ...

50mm series E is a very nice lens - there’s two versions, one black and one black and silver but as far as I can tell there’s no optical difference between them.   I have the black version as I ...

In the U.K. most camera shops I’ve been to set a price based on eBay prices for something old.  I’ve bought for around 10% below eBay prices from a shop but I’ve never seen anywhere regularly ...

Are they the ones where there’s a regular supply of Contax T2s for $200 and Olympus Mju ii f/2.8s for $20 ? In normal times it’d be worth the flight !

Not to answer your question in the slightest, but if you don’t want leather, how about white enamel - the Ilford Advocate - http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Ilford_Advocate :-) I’ve wanted one of these ...

Nikon FM is nice and small and cheaper.  You miss out on the 1/4000s shutter, but you can use pre-AI lenses

Bellamy Hunt (Japan Camera Hunter) has previously stated that he was planning on producing a 35mm premium compact ( ...

On the few camera scans I’ve done I’ve had the non-emulsion side to the camera, but I think that’s a habit from scanners, where the film “reads” left to right.   I had a look at the Nikon ES2 ...

One of the advantages of a DSLR (or later SLRs) is that they have things such  as focus assist dots (I’m talking Nikons here, but I expect others will have an equivalent) which mean you can ...

F55 is smaller and cheaper but sometimes has a problem where the AF breaks. However they sell for £2-£5 on eBay so you’re not far out if that happens

Whereas my D610 is bright with a battery even if switched off (I must admit this surprised me when I first saw it go blurry on a D200). The only thing I could suggest would be to let Nikon have a ...

I’m meaning more that there could be a bad lead in the viewfinder.  I’ve just tried removing the battery from my D610 and the viewfinder goes dark and blurry

When I used to use a D200 I noticed that if you took the battery out completely that the viewfinder would go blurry ? Had to be out, not just “flat”.  Could it be a possible power problem to the ...

Maybe I don’t know much about basic electronics either - but if you treat the sensor plus the ADC plus all the post processing as a sensor system then changing the gain changes the sensitivity of ...

Even within the F’s there is a bit of a hierarchy, with the F and F2 being better than the rest (for manual focussing).  I’d hoped that the professional digitals were as good - when the D200 came ...

It does with film - it might also be the case if there is an amplifier before the ADC stage in a digital sensor, but tbh I don’t know too much about sensor design It makes sense, it may not be succinct
