My "New" Old camera, a 60's Japanese made Yashica Mat-124 Medium Format. I can't wait to see my first pictures from this camera.
Pinhole cameras made from tin cans, match boxes, mint tins and a cracker box. They use 35mm film or light-sensitive photo paper as negatives.
The one in the back left was purchased on ebay, and I haven't used it. Some day I will, but it doesn't appeal to me as much as the handmade cameras.

Funny, I see a compositional flaw in this photo, now that the set-up is put away. It is way too heavy on the right. Some day I'll have to correct that.
This is a product shot of my Nikon D2H camera with the 50mm f/1.8 lens. This camera is for sale if you are interested.

This Expo Watch Camera was introduced in 1905. It was designed to look like a pocket watch. The "winding stem" is the lens. A reflex finder is slipped over the winding stem. The daylight loading cartridge produced twenty five 5/8 x 7/8 inch exposures.
Rangefinder cameras and lenses made by Canon and Nikon were discovered by US photojournalists covering the Korean war in 1950; the discovery came as a shock similar in its own way to that of the war itself, and it presaged the end of the era of German dominance at the top level of optics and photography.
You can get a general sense of just how unexpected this discovery was by taking a look at this passage that appeared in Popular Photography Magazine in 1946: rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-136.html
Many of the early cameras were made especially for sale in the PX (Post Exchange) shops to US military personnel. This is one of those examples, as indicated by the red diamond and the letters "E-P" engraved on the top cover.
I own this baby!!!

This camera even with the 80 MM lens takes some effort to hold. Looks like the tripod will get some face time
This was supposed to be a candid shot, but the camera shy girl turned and rushed into her courtyard. The Nikon's stellar AF performance has saved the day once again.

Day 313
It looked better when I was imagining it. Basically just took some gear to form the shape of the letter "M". I think when the new year rolls around/finishing project 365, I'll start using film again. Hopefully my rolls won't get eaten by the processing machine.

For Nikon F cameras the lenses 50mm f2 Auto S Nikkor and later 50mm f1.4 Auto Nikkor-S was standart.
Non-AI lenses fit on the Nikon F, early F2, Nikkormat FT, FTN, FT2, EL and ELW, and the Nikkorex F. They can be used without meter coupling on the earliest AI camera bodies such as the FM and FE, but they must not be mounted on later ones such as the FM2, as it is possible to damage the camera body.
Nikon brought semi-automatic aperture indexing (SAI) from the Nikkormat FTN into the professional F with the FTN finder.
The F is the first member of the long line of Nikon F-series professional level 35 mm SLRs that began 1959 and followed each other in a sort of dynastic succession as the top-of-the-line Nikon camera. The other members were the F2,F3,F4,F5 and F6 (2004–present).
The F-series do not share any major components.
All Nikon professional F-series SLRs are full system cameras. This means that each camera body serves as only a modular hub.

Canon T2i with eyepiece extender, battery grip (with two batteries inside), Canon 50MM 1.8 lens and lens hood.
You'll notice that the battery grip is ever so slightly different in color than the camera body. That's because it's not a Canon part. The Canon grip is $199, but this no-name brand from Amazon was $69 and comes with two batteries!
