    Fun with obsolete Small Sensor Cameras

    Heh. I've long since parted ways with all the 5/8" and other small sensor cameras I owned and used. Nowadays, my small sensor cameras are FourThirds and Micro-FourThirds (Olympus E-1 and E-M1) ... The E-1 is 22 years old, still working and looking fine, and the E-M1 is 12 years old, also still...

    Please provide pictures, feedback and alternatives to the Yashica Mat 124G

    I have, over the many years, owned and used six Rolleiflex TLRs and two Yashicamat 124Gs. The last of my Yashicamat cameras I sold some time before 1985 ... when exactly is lost in the mists of my memory. I probably have some prints I made with it, somewhere, but nothing falls to hand...

    The Difference Is Creative Intent

    Nice article. I go out walking, cycling, or driving to places to shoot. Sometimes I don't feel the intent, most of the time I do, but I always shoot. And when I go out on a walk and don't carry a camera, it is a deliberate choice to not consider making photos but to concentrate on seeing...

    Which Hasselblad should I buy?

    heh. The camera(s) that get me stopped by passersby the most are my Minox 8x11 subminiatures. ANY time I take one of those out, a half a dozen people want to see it, want to have me take their picture, etc. ;) G

    Which Hasselblad should I buy?

    I bought my M10 Monochrom in 2022 ... last new one my dealer ever got in ... and I cannot say anything bad about it. It has worked flawlessly and produces fantastic results every time I take it out. But, similarly, I bought my 907x/CFVII 50c "50th Anniversary Moon Landing" edition as soon as...

    Which Hasselblad should I buy?

    I have the 907x/CFVII 50c Moon Edition. I've used XCD 21, 45P, 65, and 90 lenses on it ... as well as adapted V-system 80, 120 macro, 150, and 180 lenses, and adapted M and R system lenses from 10mm up to 360mm. All have worked remarkably well, and none have proven a problem to focus. I don't...

    Crop Factor going from 60x60 to 44x33

    I have the 907x/CFVII 50c ... same 33x44 mm format as the CFV 100c ... along with my Hasselblad V system. As well as a fairly absurd abundance of 35mm system equipment. For me, crop factors work best when comparing "like formats" ... In other words, rather than considering 56x56 mm to 33x44 mm...

    Leica Monopan 50

    The only thing I'm finding nowadays is that I've gotten used to the 8 to 16 exposures per roll of my medium format 120 roll film cameras ... That's just enough for a typical day's "walk and shoot" so I can process the film afterwards and see what I've done. AND there's a lot fewer negatives to...

    Leica Monopan 50

    I just like the way various film cameras see as different from how various digital cameras see. I looked for some HR 50 today too, and found the same thing: everyone is currently out of stock. B&H goes so far as to mark it discontinued ... so maybe Leica 50 is what we're all going to be using...

    OK to post FOR SALE in normal forums?

    I set Billy on Ignore after his first barrage. Now I don't see his nonsense posts at all. G

    A visit to Berlin with 907x 100C

    That's very similar to the grip I built for my 907x/CFVII 50c Moon Edition: Hasselblad 907x left-side grip #4 Click to see four views of this rig: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmU4o1ia Right hand is on the camera controls for focus, exposure, and shutter release, left hand holds and stabilizes via...

    Looking for lens adapter from L-Mount to use old analog lens Nikon F

    Well, I always choose Novoflex when the option is available because I have a lot of experience with their products and quality. But they tend to be on the pricey side, and many other brands are just as good, in truth. I don't often need "new" or "another" lens mount adapter. G

    Looking for lens adapter from L-Mount to use old analog lens Nikon F

    A quick glance at the B&H Photo website shows at least six Nikon F mount to L-mount lens adapters available from Metabones, Novoflex, Urth, and Fotodiox, and they address different Nikon F lens series (some of which need a coupling to adjust the aperture, etc). Generally, if B&H carries it, it's...
