@AbrasiveReducer: well, lots of people do that as a cure for the infamous "asthma". Not tried it on mine (yet?).

Ah, the Mamiya C-220... what a lovely camera! that idea of running paper though the camera sounds good. Did you process it "as usual" or as slides?

With the prices you can get many of them for these days (still) if you are willing to get them at flea markets or from non-expert sellers, it's quite easy to get the whole lot for a very reasonable...

I was going to concur with many other that the ME / ME Super should be up there, and I see it's been added. Rightfully, that little thing is a joy to use. I've examined, played with or actually own...

Didn't? I was under the impression she did, in a mirror.

And then there is that NatGeo cover with a self protrait of Coco the gorilla and an OM-2n! Olympus recognition extended beyond humanity :)

oh, but some of them have been working on such things for a looooooong time. There was also an idea of using such setups to look for earthquake victims. The insects can go through pretty tiny...

As long as they continue to deliver, so will I :)

What we still struggle with, is the psychological part of taking pictures with "just your phone".
No, it isn't. No matter what their specs are or could be, as cameras, phones have abysmal...

No need to make lower end cameras? Well, good luck convincing customers to ditch several thousands Euros for their entry ticket into serious photography! If you stop offering the possibility of...

Great IBIS matters more than a lot of other specs if you are actually using your camera to take photos . Trouble is, comparing ratings seems to be difficult. That article is quite interesting, and...

Film vs. digital debate? Isn't it like a debate between vintage cars and modern ones? There are plenty of vintage sports cars that aren't anywhere as good as modern family cars on the paper. Does...

That always look ugly. Many mirrorless shake the sensor a bit everytime you turn them on, which does a pretty good job removing the dust. I never had any dust refusing to go after 2-3 turning on...

Just saw the movie and of course the Leica drowning scene was hard to miss. As far as the movie goes, pretty lengthy and unnecessary, but Sony is the first name you see on screen when the movie ...

" unreliable shutter"... like, firing all by itself? One of my TCs does that.One of these days I'll have to look into it.

You might want to try the TC and T4. Even if the electronic dies, they are still good :)

This will make die hard Rolleiflex fans cringe, but Seagull 4 are actually quite nice TLR, and can be had for a fraction of the price of a Rolleiflex... I have a Seagull 4A103 and a Mamiya C220....

I agree in most cases, but if that Hasselblad Sony debacle, or that Nikon Brick innovated in anything, it is the exploitation of human idiocy. The kind of things Pablo Escobar or Kadhafi would buy...

Didn't W. Eugene Smith quit his job because his emplyer kept insisting 24x36 wasn't large enough? :)

Probably a Nikon Coolpix 4300 I bought in 2004. It was on sales for over 400 Euros, a significant dent in my meager PhD scholarship. I had had a few single use cameras - the green ones from Fuji -...
