Приєднався 26 лют 2023
Learn about photography in my reviews of classic cameras, some digital, as well as books, important photographers and related matter. I have owned more than 300 cameras in my life, and I hope to tell you about some of them - from simple box cameras to folders to SLRs and many other cameras in between. I also own several digital cameras. In the process, we'll have some fun, and I'll tell you some stories about my cameras.
My Camera Purchase Takes the Long Route - Camera Talk- Camera Talk
If you buy enough things - cars, clothing and cameras - inevitably something will go wrong. Technically, the postal service sent it to the correct country. It just wasn't my country. Watch the video for an explanation.

Minolta SR-T 202: Raising the Profile of an Underappreciated SLR - Camera Talk
Переглядів 555Місяць тому
The Minolta SR-T 202 was among the last of the camera maker's full-size SLRs that were typical of the era before downsizing took effect. This camera is a viable - and perhaps better - alternative to the Pentax K1000. @CameraTalkVideos Photography forum: forums.camera-talk.net My equipment - Video: Sony ZV-1 - Microphone: TZ Audio Stellar X3 (XLR) - Sound recorder: Marantz Professional PMD661 MKII

Konica I: Very Good Lens on a Very Basic Rangefinder - Camera Talk
Переглядів 2792 місяці тому
Konica's foray into 35mm photography began with this model, which offers the minimum number of features that you would expect of a 35mm rangefinder camera. Future models were more refined and finished better. @CameraTalkVideos Photography forum: forums.camera-talk.net My equipment - Video: Sony ZV-1 - Microphone: TZ Audio Stellar X3 (XLR) - Sound recorder: Marantz Professional PMD661 MKII
Olympus OM-1: Here Is One of the Most Important Cameras of the 1970s - Camera Talk
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 місяці тому
By the time 1970 arrived, everything had gotten larger - cars, hair styles, protests, clothing and cameras. Olympus went against the tide and brought to the market a smaller single-lens reflex camera, which became popular enough that other camera makers followed suit by developing their own downsized cameras. This video also features the OM-2. @CameraTalkVideos Photography forum: forums.camera-...

Переглядів 2,9 тис.2 місяці тому
This was one of only two Rollei-branded rangefinders, and this one is heads and tails better than the Rollei XF 35 (not mentioned in this video). Being roughly equivalent to the Cosina Voigtlander Bessa R2, it's paired with an excellent f/2.8 40mm Sonnar. @CameraTalkVideos Photography forum: forums.camera-talk.net My equipment - Video: Sony ZV-1 - Microphone: TZ Audio Stellar X3 (XLR) - Sound r...

Voigtlander Vito folders: Four Great Cameras (Plus One) - Camera Talk
Переглядів 4373 місяці тому
In the 1950s, Voigtlander delivered a group of quality folding cameras to amateurs. Three of them hewed closely to a common design, while the fourth was a complete departure and deserves its own discussion (and someday, a video). There was a fifth folding Vito that appeared in 1980 - long after Voigtlander had departed from photography. @CameraTalkVideos Photography forum: forums.camera-talk.ne...
