This is my Mamiya 35 mm camera which I purchased brand new in 1984 and have been using it ever since.
I believe that this is the last 35mm model camera that Mamiya made. Is this correct and why did they get out of the 35 mm format?
This small, 1.5" Diecut Chromolithograph Sticker would have graced a Victorian era scrapbook. It shows a studio set with a view camera on a tripod, a plate holder, and head rest. I bought it with five others that show 19th century technology. Two of them show telephones, two show carbon arc lighting, and one is of a telegraph apparatus. I will add scans of all of them but do not have a set that would be appropriate. Maybe I should add a diecut group.
Originally designed for hunters (to remove more sport from the “sport”), conservation groups are also using it to track wildlife in the wild. I am borrowing a couple of them from the Wildlife Conservation Network before they ship out to Africa.
It combines motion and heat sensors to detect an animal approach on the path, and then takes a series of photos. At night, it records in infrared, and the array of LEDs up top provides an IR flash that they don’t see.
The HAL red eye is normally off; this is just a test mode to see what it takes to trigger the sensors.
Hoping to catch the local coyote, deer, bunnies, bobcat, and if really lucky, mountain lion.
A poppy-field, a man, a camera... discovered some pink poppies amongst the red.
Same poppy-field, a woman and a camera... the result...
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
This is the actual camera that Sir Edmund Hillary used at the summit of Mt Everest on 29 May 1953, the first camera ever to take a photo from the top of the world. Fancy using a Kodak for such an occassion, what was he thinking?! No wonder Tenzing refused to take Hillary's photo...

Manufactured for a giveaway in 1930 by Eastman Kodak Co. This camera was a special edition of the No. 2 Hawk-Eye camera Model C, issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Eastman Kodak Co. Approximately 550,000 were given away to children 12 years old in 1930. It is covered with a tan-colored reptile-grained paper covering with a gold-colored foil seal on the upper rear corner of the right side.

After having used this little camera for 3 months now, I can confidently say - this little camera is AMAZING! I was looking and experimenting with all sorts of small, compact cameras as an "all-day-carry." As a dad of three kids, sometimes it's just not convenient or practical to bring a full frame camera.
I wanted very specific things from a small, compact camera. If it was possible: quick autofocus, excellent image quality, and portability. This Olympus has achieved all three.
The autofocus, coupled with the new Olympus 17mm f/1.8, is blindingly quick. With three little kids running, crawling and moving around like little tasmanian devils, I needed something that locked focus quickly. This was unbelievably fast and accurate.
The image quality was breathtaking, also. I could not believe I was getting great images from such a small sensor - depth of field, clarity and sharpness. I tried the Panasonic GX1, and the dynamic range and color render on it was not great. But this E-M5 was more suited to my taste. Love, love, love the image quality. Even the jpeg's were superb.
And finally, it is pocketable. I could throw this tiny but sturdy bad boy in our diaper bag and bring it with me everywhere. It's solidly built and pocketable! This was probably the biggest issue for me.
I know that as a photographer, it's not so much about the tool as the person using it. But sometimes, it does matter what you bring. It depends on the situation: location, people you're with, event, etc. I still try to keep in mind composition, lighting, subject matter when I take pictures. I understand all of that. But sometimes, it's also about what you can and cannot bring.

Week 32
Introducing my F100, 35mm film camera! Picked it up second hand with a vertical grip. I'm slowly adjusting to film and the "pro" layout. Also trying to get use to not instantly seeing the results. Looking forward to my journey with film!

I never took a picture of this one like I did my other cameras. I got this for Christmas from my boyfriend. Now I want a Chaika 2! I like that this one has a meter but it doesn't have a B setting. It is still very cute and since it's small I like to take it to the store and bug my boyfriend by taking pictures of him. I enjoy buying wrapping paper and I found this paper underneath my bed the other day so I decided I would use it for pictures. I used my strobe and umbrella with this. I can't wait to get another one!
Some new American made Jabo marbles testing out the capabilities of my new Kodak Z990 camera. I have noticed that the color balance on this one leans a hair to red, as opposed to the Z981 that tends to lean towards yellow.
Strobist: Two speedlites on lightstands, one in her face (no gel), one from behind where the pink spot is (pink gel). I cloned-out that lightstand. No light modifiers.
We did this fashion shooting with a compact camera (Canon G10), not just for the fun of it (although it was fun!), but also because of the faster shutter. I tried the cam up to 1/3200 via cable some months ago - worked fine. This time we used RF transmitters and I used a shutter speed of 1/500 s. Also fine. => Perfect ambient under-exposure for a really dramatic sky :-).

This is how it works in detail:
A few of the Arguses, (Argi?), in my collection. Argus A on the top shelf and others on the next. The cabinet is older than the cameras, with hand formed glass in the doors.
A great addition to my collection! It is as new and fully functional! This model is the last 35mm film camera in production when digital pretty much took over.
The Nikon F75 (sold in the United States as the N75 and Japan as the U2) was the last consumer-level autofocus 35mm SLR camera sold by the Nikon Corporation beginning in February 2003.[1] The camera replaced the similarly consumer-targeted Nikon F65.
The Nikon F75 is still sold cheaply on the used market, and is valued because it can drive Nikon's newest lens designs, including those with AF-S and VR.
There was a version, dubbed the F75D (N75D) that featured a date-recording back.
Talk about high resolution, telephoto capabilities! This camera sports a 240" inch (that's 6100 mm!!) focal-length lens; f-8. If this were a digital camera, it would have a resolution of about 3-5 GigaPixels!!!
Thanks to avidday, here is more information: That camera was a prototype, built to go into the bomb bay of the RB-36 and was intended for used for forward looking high altitude reconnaissance missions in the late 1950s. It was a 240" f/8 folded optics design using 18x36" negatives, and was an evolution of the smaller 240" f/11 camera which flown operationally onboard the RB57/Canberra over central Europe in the latter half of the 1950's.

Sharing high honors among American 35mm cameras with the Argus C44, the Kodak Signet 80 is the last 35mm camera to be made in the USA with interchangeable lenses. The body of the camera is made of Bakelite plastic (like many earlier Kodak and Argus models), but workmanship and finish are first rate. Shutter speeds run from 1/4 to 1/250, the view/rangefinder is exceptionally good, it features rapid spool-less loading and a two-stroke rapid wind, plus a built in uncoupled EV system light meter. Lenses available were a 35mm wide, 50/2.8 triplet normal, and 90mm telephoto in a slick bayonet mount reminiscent of some Bell & Howell movie cameras.
With the world's last supply of Polaroids in jeopardy. Photographers around the world have turned into brutal savages, dividing into tribes to pillage ebay listings. It is utter madness. In this polaroid wasteland only one man can unite them all. The Roid Warrior; from the land of the Impossible.

The Olympus Trip 35 is a 35mm compact camera. It was introduced in 1967 and discontinued, after a lengthy production run, in 1984. The "trip" name was a reference to the intended target market - people looking for a compact and functional camera to take on holiday with them. During the 1970s it was the subject of an advertising campaign featuring David Bailey. Over ten million units of the camera were sold.
This belongs to my mother. I do not know if it still works, but I am going to give it a try nonetheless.
In Italian "camera con vista" don't indicate a camera with an expensive operating system requiring a 2 Gb memory card to run, but a room with a view.
This was really a "camera con vista" (and a great view) before to be heavily damaged by the 1887 quake which destroyed a lot of town and villages here in Riviera.
Here we are in Triora (Imperia, Liguria - Italy), in the high Argentina Valley.
If you go there don't forget to buy the wonderful Pane di Triora (a tasty rustic bread).
Una camera con vista (strana associazione di idee tra un sistema operativo e un rudere...) a Triora (IM), nell'alta Valle Argentina.

Se capitate da queste parti non dimenticate di comprare l'eccezionale pane di Triora.
Marcel’s very cool Olympus OM-2n camera in top condition. It is such a nice camera it has made me consider buying one for myself, but I really don’t need another camera. Well not 35mm anyway I keep eyeing off medium format cameras.
This camera has had a long and full life. Originally a staff camera at the Scranton Times newspaper in Pennsylvania, it served under heavy use until its meter stopped working and one of the stalwart reporters decided to save the company some money by fixing it himself. Unfortunately he removed the meter assembly without first removing the prism and ripped the needle off of the meter... so he gave up on it, chucked the parts in a box and gave it to a local camera dealer, who then gave it to me. I soldered a piece of fine music wire to the stub for a needle and fixed the electrics so that it worked as long as you held it level (if you tilted the camera, the meter told you more about the weight of the solder than about the light level). It then served more years of hard duty for me so that my pretty black one could stay home and not get beat up. Eventually I decided that it would be more pleasant without a meter (they had quit making mercury batteries by this time), so I removed the assembly and the mask around the screen and turned it into sort of an OM-0. Then I replaced its tired leatherette with blue denim, and hunted until I found an authentic pair of mid-1970s Levis jeans to donate the orange pocket tag for the back (the tags are red & white on modern Levis).
The OM-0 is retired now, enjoying a well earned rest among friends.
