I'm not remotely interested in retro photo taking on film. I am a digital convert and thats the way its staying, but I do love old cameras. I adore the way they are built like brick s**t houses and the smell they have of old leather and metal.

This fine specimen was my first camera my Dad let me loose on...I wouldn't want anything to happen to it...its in "Safe Hands".

When it gets a bit too warm outside for all that other stuff I've been mentioning (and trust me, around these parts, those overly warm days are coming soon!), stay inside and watch a movie or two. This particular Fred's seemed to have just a bit more of these electronic/entertainment items than many of the others I visited, which makes sense given the amount of vacation homes in this area.

I've finally acquired the renowned Canon 50mm F1.4 lens! I used the Canon EFS 18-55mm standard lens for a year, and it was a great experience that now makes it easier for me to utilize a standard lens in any circumstance. Street, portrait, and architecture

 

I'll now use the typical one for photographs of landscapes and buildings. Here is one of my earliest photographs, and if you enjoy bokeh, you will adore the outcome.

I will be using this camera in week 338 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

It's been nearly a week now since I got my M5 and I have to say, I absolutely love it! At first I didn't like the saturation of the EVF but I'm more used to it now. The speed and accuracy of the the Dual Pixel AF is amazing, I feel like my 6D is missing something now when using it. The size of weight of the M5 with the 22mm f2 is the perfect kit to carry around, especially if you are travelling. The M5 has definitely made me even more excited for the possibility of a full frame mirrorless from Canon. If anyone is interested in reading a mini review from my first week with the M5, you can find it over at My Blog.

From Wiki:

A twin-lens reflex camera (TLR) is a type of camera with two objective lenses of the same focal length. One of the lenses is the photographic objective or "taking lens" (the lens that takes the picture), while the other is used for the viewfinder system, which is usually viewed from above at waist level. In addition to the objective, the viewfinder consists of a 45-degree mirror (the reason for the word reflex in the name), a matte focusing screen at the top of the camera, and a pop-up hood surrounding it. The two objectives are connected, so that the focus shown on the focusing screen will be exactly the same as on the film. However, many inexpensive TLRs are fixed-focus models. Most TLRs use leaf shutters with shutter speeds up to 1/500th sec with a B setting.

 

For practical purposes, all TLRs are film cameras, most often using 120 film, although there are many examples which used other formats. No general-purpose digital TLRs exist, since their heyday ended long prior to the digital era. The main exception is the collector-oriented Rollei Mini-Digi, introduced as a rather expensive "toy" in 2004.[1]

Norwich, Norfolk, England, UK

Zeiss Ikon Erabox with it's case (original?) and a Kodak 6A cloud filter that fits the lens perfectly.

Manufactured in Germany from 1934-38.

Has 2 apertures (F/11 & F/16) and the choice of "instant" shutter speed (I believe to be around 1/35 of a second) and manually controlling the duration of the shutter opening.

Also has a cable shutter-release interface and both vertical and horizontal tripod mounts.

This is a much sturdier and heavier box camera than its Agfa and Kodak peers.

25.11.14: Prior to retirement, I was an early adopter, and now I watch my $. Pulled the plug today and passed the E-M1 and 12-40 lens onto my wife, an OM shooter from way back. I am now 100% over to Sony in that the replacement will be a RX1 - I expect it to take me back to the days of shooting landscapes with the D700. The A7 Black Friday advertised prices at London Drugs intrigued me, as well as the new A7r in particular, but the Sony lens road map + $ made up my mind. I am very happy with my RX10, RX100M3 and now I will add FF to my kit - no more lens's to carry around and change as required, to say nothing about the weight and inconvenience when traveling, etc.

 

27.11.14: Henry's sent RX1 shipping notice this afternoon so sometime next Thursday via Canada Post 'Expedited' (the MegaGear "Ever Ready" Protective Dark Brown Leather Camera Case and JJC LH-LHP1 Professional Lens Hood via Amazon.ca shipped yesterday may be here tomorrow - the latter must have more pull with Canada Post?). As this is and has been my only hobby for the past 15 years, I have been fortunate enough to buy only new cameras (sealed Box) until now. I would not have made the move on the RX1 due to $, but I came across an un-boxed RX1 @ Henrys. I saved or did not spend an additional $409.00 based on the current Amazon.ca price or $823.00 based on Camera shop prices researched this week. So now I will see what a re-boxed camera looks and works like. I am good at selling my kit used (but in pristine condition), now the shoe is on the other foot :)

 

Did I mention that I already have the FDA-EVIM VF as well as spare batteries (M3)! Just have to now sell some kit for the Nissin i40. On the other hand I rarely use a flash, and this camera is so good in low light, the built-in flash will do in a pinch.

A good argument for a 5yr Sony extended warranty?

The MegaGear case was delivered this afternoon. The so called built-in grip looks to me to be too small and slippery due to the leather (will have to consider attaching a small non-slip patch). For $29 it appears to be well built, but we will see how the cam fits in it. Just bought a 600x 64gb sd card from Amazon.ca for $44.

2.12.14: Canada Post Expedited beat their estimate by 2 days and delivered today, which leaves me with perhaps a day and a half of sunny skies before the rain start again.

 

Unboxed it was, but no signs of use that I could see, and everything in working order so far. First interior low light shots and zoomed-in-camera where impressive in their detail. My wife is usually my first subject with a new camera, and she was not impressed with the detail (too much) :-).

 

3.12.14: Inside most of the day, but got low light interior shots that confirmed numerous reviewer opinions. I shoot raw/jpeg and both shots in some instances appeared to me to have in camera NR applied in excess of the low option ( admittedly pixel peeping) [4.12.14 Checked settings and found Soft Skin Effect on]. I also noticed that the speaker is located at the base of the camera, and if one is using a leather

case as I am, replaying videos may require earbuds. I also found focus hunting sometimes where the M3 and the RX10 might not.

 

5.12.14: The Sony ECM-XYST1M Stereo Microphone (I use it on the RX10) is not supported by this cam.

 

7.12.14: Learning curve for me with this cam, as well in terms of Sony Memory, Display and Function modes. Message on screen re Macro mode on ( while manual focusing ) indicates to me that I will have to be careful in that mode. Tried out Smart Telecon and Zoom ( in JPEG only ) - more than likely not something I will use as I shoot raw. What no WiFi? Forgot this cam is 2012 vintage.

 

Partially cloudy today, so off to shoot some landscapes.

 

8.12.14: The following review by TechnoGut from MetroWest in Massachusetts, pretty much covers my experience with this cam so far:

 

"An absolutely unique photographic tool w/out peer

February 8, 2013

If you managed to get this far through all the reviews of the camera, you're either a glutton for punishment, are you really are a researcher and aficionado of high-end digital photography. Let's assume it's the latter and get to the really interesting stuff.

This camera is in a class of one. There's really nothing like it anywhere in the marketplace. It's absurdly expensive for a point-and-shoot, and yet it takes pictures that rival and in some cases exceed in overall quality what some of the very best full frame pro cameras are capable of generating . . . . . while fitting fairly comfortably in your jacket pocket. It looks like your neighbor's point-and-shoot $350 Canon, but costs more than your last vacation. It doesn't even have a viewfinder, either optical or electronic - although you can get a great electronic one, if you don't mind being soaked for another $450 on top of what you've already shelled out for this absurdly expensive but marvelous piece of technology. Or you can really get hosed completely by Zeiss, and get an optical viewfinder for another $650 - easily the most overpriced accessory in digital photography. It isn't the fastest focusing, and it requires you to move closer or farther to get the shot that you want instead of zooming in or out given the fixed focal length lens. It can be both maddening to use and at the same time . . . a breeze to use like any other point-and-shoot.

It's like nothing else really. Its high ISO performance is equal to anything and I do mean anything out there. It's capable of taking very low noise images at ISO 6400, and with a little bit of cleanup and working in RAW, you can easily salvage high quality pictures at ISO 12,800 with lots of detail and very little loss of information due to noise. Overall, the camera is something of a walking contradiction in terms in many ways, and at the same time, it's a camera that's capable of inspiring enormous loyalty and probably will generate a truly cult-like following, while many other people may simply shake their heads at what they see as Sony's foolishness.

Pros:

1) As good high ISO as virtually any full frame camera (with the possible exception of the Canon 1 Dx, Nikon D4 and D600 - and, at worst, it is very close to those benchmark systems in terms of low light ability - at best it is equal to any of them).

2) Capable of remarkable detail due to its 24 megapixel full frame sensor with excellent color and dynamic range. DxO sensor score of 93.

3) High quality Zeiss 35mm F 2.0 fixed lens that is sharp edge-to-edge (which for FF camera might cost $1200 or so by itself).

4) Intuitive but deep operating system and menu structures, immediately familiar to those coming from Sony Alpha background. Easy to run as full manual camera . . . or put on full AUTO, and all shades in between. Good aperture priority mode operation (my personal fav).

5) Capable of shooting 1080 at 60p and taking excellent videos in low light, and with full IS (image stabilization).

6) Remarkable compactness and portability for such enormous low light capabilities w/full frame sensor - an engineering tour de force in terms of cramming full frame capabilities into a point-and-shoot size and form factor (achievable only with a fixed lens).

7) Macro functionality in CZ lens.

8) Customizable buttons and other nice user config operating system features.

9) Crop/zoom functionality of x1.4 and x2.0 partially mitigates fixed lens restrictions (equivalent to 50 and 70 mm lens but with obvious loss of resolution).

10) High build quality w/ nice magnesium chassis - has very solid feel (it ought to for this much $!).

11) Decent flash.

Cons:

1) Price.

2) Fixed focal length lens means extra work to get the shot properly framed - and forget about shooting subjects at a distance.

3) Tendency to underexpose one half to one third exposure value - why can't Sony for this much money get exposure values locked in?

4) Problems with focus lock in low light - mostly a standard contrast detection focus issue (but for example OM5 does better job). Fixable in firmware updates perhaps?

5) Likelihood of (or at least possibility of) planned obsolescence, as Sony may release a zoom lens version sometime in the next three years.

6) More than disappointing that Sony did not include an electronic viewfinder as standard equipment at this price.

7) Poor thumb grip with not enough contour - not easy to hold onto the camera with one hand.

8) No IS for stills - given that this is always sensor-based in Sony systems, not sure why omitted (hi ISO performance?).

9) Sony STILL hasn't made viewing photos and videos in any kind of alternating fashion easy - must surf menus or shoot video to get easy viewing access to videos on card.

10) Poor battery life. Must carry two batteries.

11) Lens zoom and crop functionality not available if shooting in RAW.

12) Flash has really modest output and no bounce functionality.

Having more cons than pros doesn't mean that I don't like/love this camera. I'm a bit stunned by its capabilities on the one hand, and frustrated with its limitations on the other, but it's obvious that what makes it so remarkable actually locks in some of its limitations. You simply couldn't get this compact form factor with an EVF and even a 3x zoom lens. The lens alone would be huge, and this Zeiss lens itself is an engineering marvel, in terms of how small it really is for a FF sensor 2.0 lens. In the end, it's all about image quality, and here, both in stills and video, there is very little to complain about. And if you take this instead of your huge DSLR and bag of lenses, just because it's so damned convenient, isn't that the strongest endorsement you can make? I find that I am transitioning away from a very favorite Sony A65 as my default camera, just because this is so easy to carry.

I'm still exploring the performance envelope of the RX-1, and will update this review as I go. It's a remarkable camera by any standard, and perhaps the most INTERESTING camera that has been made in the last 10 years, with the possible exception of the SLTs made also by Sony. Suggests that Sony is thinking outside the box and more creatively than anyone else.Hide" [store.sony.com/cyber-shot-rx1]."

 

It says something about this camera, that crossing over from the E-M1 and it's very good IS, I am getting pretty much the same ratio of sharp shots, and I will be 70 next year! The latter does not necessarily mean that my hands are not that steady now, but it is a factor.

 

9.11.14: One thing about accumulating camera bags over the years is that one can sometimes find one that will fit a new cam. In this case I found a roots that will fit the RX1 with the VF attached. When the hood finally arrives, it may not.

 

12.12.14: Finally got some fair weather shooting this morning, as well as some interior grand kid shots. I also revisited some of my D700 shots, I am back to FF and very happy!

 

11.12.14: We know that unlike the M3/M4, the flash will not flip back in order to bounce ( I find this very handy ), I have tried some options and achieved a partial angled bounce, but with a bit too much fiddling. More experimenting.

 

14.12.14: Sony soft skin effect in video face detect mode M3 issues

www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3700520

  

17.12.14: Fotodiox Pro, All Metal Black Camera Hand Grip for Sony DSC-RX1 Cyber-Shot Digital Camera with Battery Access ( speaker covered ) delivered today. Good fit and blends in well. Grip has a smooth surface, I would prefer non-slip.

 

19.12.14: In between showers I went for a walk this morning and shot some landscape and grand-kid shots. A few keepers, but shooting in Program mode and flixible spot (my error) I did not get many in focus. Auto, on the other hand got some good in focus shots of the 2 year olds. This camera has a learning curve for shooters like me, so I had better get with it.

 

20.12.14: The JJC LH-LHP1 Professional Lens Hood for Sony DSC-RX1 Digital Camera Replaces Sony LHP-1 finally arrived today and fits very well. I will check out filter options in the new year (ND and CircPol) in terms of fit and the Sony cap attaching properly. Although some users are of the opinion that using any filters on this lens was not what Sony engineers had in mind. By the way re the hand grip, it may provide access to the battery and SD card, but if I had trouble getting the card out, anyone with bigger hands may not get it out without tweezers of some kind.

 

22.12.14: I gave this cam it's first real workout this evening. We went out to the Butchard Gardens with the grand-kids to take in the Holiday lighting. Right up front, 90% of my shooting is in Program mode - and I am happy with the keepers (in the 70's when I shot with a Pentax Spotmatic we did not have 30000+ algorithms programmed into the camera as they do now). I used a monopod for all shots, alternating between Program mode and Auto/Scene modes. Even though the front dial was set at AF, I had trouble with the cam going into TRACKING FOCUS mode (Auto and Scene), and by the time I figured it out ( it is dark, lots of lighting and scenery, and grand-kids and their parents getting lost in the crowds) many of my shots were out of focus. Focusing with this cam in poor lighting conditions is a problem for me so far, in that both the M3 and RX10 are better in that department. The difference between sensors (M3 and RX1) is very noticeable shooting in the dark as I was, and those shots that were in focus were very good 6400 ISO, less so at 25,000 ISO ( as Auto and Scene seem to default to ). Also, battery power lasted less than two hours or about 200 shots, and I had two extra with me just in case.

 

24.12.14: Took a gamble that the Larmor LCD Screen Protector for the RX100 series would fit on both this camera and the RX10. Applied today, no problem.

 

27.12.14: Upland Park Garry Oak Eco System.

First hour of good weather outing with the RX1 (weather systems were coming in hard and fast). Finally, some landscape shooting with this FF camera! No problems with focusing, although I had to adapt when shooting the kids, but still got a good percentage of keepers. Blown away by this sensor and the camera's portability (compared to the D700 or E-M1).

 

29.12.14: After reviewing my first RX1 posted shots, I have decided that to do the camera justice, I should upload a larger file than I usually do. Limited to a fixed lens I have to plan the shot in terms of distance and what it is I want to capture. Not a problem with the M3 or RX10, but something that I will have to keep in mind for my travels.

 

5.01.15: Ended up buying a 49mm circ Pol from Sony Store (15% off re purchase of RX1) and had to pick it up from Purolator today (not impressed with Sony's so called tracking option).

 

A first time for me, I decided to take one RX1 shot a day for this year, if for no other reason than the project will push me to learn the camera, as well as think about shots other than landscapes, seascapes or macros.

 

9.01.15: Last night I was tempted to take the E-M1 to shoot our twin grand-daughter's 2nd birthday and all the mayhem that entails, but opted for the RX1 and the Rx100M3. I stuck with the RX1 and used the Spd Priority Cont mode (Focus and exposure fixed from the first shot - I should have remembered the latter) and face Detection on, for the most part. The E-M1 would have done far better with respect to focusing, but less so with noise. The RX1 in program mode shot mostly at 6400 with some 3200 shots. Had the focusing been up to par I would have had many keepers, as it is, there were more than enough to keep me happy. The M3 was used for a few shots because the focusing was faster.

 

Processing the above shots (as well as previous shoots) in Capture One 8 I (switched from both Aperture 3.6 and LR 5.0) I found all indoor shots warmer than I like, but other than that, speedier rendition than with both the other options, and not much more processing required.

 

19.01.14: Yesterday we had a series of heavy rain and wind (up 95k gusts) storms pass through our area, but our kids held a birthday picnic at a local secluded park for their twins 2 year olds anyway. We showed up, my wife with the E-M1 and I had the RX2. E-M1 when raining and the RX1 when not. Although slower in focusing, I had some keepers of parents trying to get the toddlers organized for a group photo, and the toddlers on their own as a group.

 

29.01.15: Interesting re switching from Aperture to C1:

www.phaseone.com/Imaging-Software/Capture-One/Testimonial...

 

30.01.15: Catching up with backing up cards. With the video which is found in the Private file, I use Aunsoft Panasonic AVCHD Convertor Pro to convert and/or merge. This is where I find that issue with the location of the record button is a problem for me. About half of the clips were due to my thumb hitting the record button - solved in the menu by assigning to the movie mode only option.

 

2.03.15: 2.03.15: So that now that I can travel camera 'light' (RX100M3, RX1 and/or RX10) I am preparing for a trip next month. I have traveled the area in question several times, and photo ops, at least for me, will be far fewer, unless I am testing the cams vs the E-M1+12-40mm/f2.8 and XZ-2 combo last time. I should be taking only one, but the RX100M3 and RX1 would do just fine, but the RX10 with it's zoom would also come in handy. Decisions, decision......

 

7.04.15: RX1 and RX100m3 it will be.

 

4.05.15: Finally back with a nasty case of bronchitis (which I attribute to the passengers getting on in San Diego for a 4 day cruise to Vancouver). The RX1 was with me most of the time while on shore except for snorkelling or what I considered not to secure areas. For instance we took a tour to La Antigua Guatemala and I had the RX1. RX100M3 and iPhone6+. High noon sun, but that is the way these tours off of cruise ships work of necessity. Back on board shots were reviewed on my iPad Air 2 and cards backed up to a small portable HD. I found the iPhone 6+ to be on me most of the time, while post processing and uploading to Flickr was a lark. Back home, I now get to review 3 weeks worth of shots.

 

My wife opted to take my RX10 instead of the OMD-E-M1 , and I think that will become permanent. I missed the versatility of the RX10 for travelling, so if a RX20 shows up, I guess the E-M1 is on it's way out.

 

14.05.15: One complaint from wife, which I heard often, was the slow zoom, so it appears that am getting the RX10 back and she will stick with the E-M1.

 

14.06.15: While travelling I found that I posted most shots to Flickr from the iPhone 6+ and a few RX1 shots from the iPad.

 

Most of my shooting was done with the RX1 (with VF) and the 100m3 for long shots. Although, an RX1 crop was pretty near the equivalent IMO. I have just about completed this trip's culling and PP. Am I happy to be back agin into FF shooting!

 

The short of it for me is: The RX1 for most of my type of shooting, the RX100M3 for interiors and for pocket only, and the RX10 for all around shooting ( although no where near as fast and stabilized as the E-M1 - I rarely need either option).

 

6.08.15: www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3847564.

 

3.10.15: Ordered the Nissan i40 Flash from B&H the last day before they closed for a week, so no delivery until around the 14th.

 

7.10.15: Shipped today.

 

15.10.15: i40 received today, charging batteries (contrary to what I read in a forum it does take rechargeable batteries).

Initial impression: just the size I would want for this cam and the RX10M2, swivel and bounce options, in one very compact 4 battery unit. However, I would not care to drop it, or remove it out of the shoe other than gently.

 

24.12.15: I do not often use a flash, but usually do at family gatherings, and did at last few this season (so far). This cam, for me, is more suited for my landscape and portrait photography than for these gatherings. The RX1`00M4 has proven to be the best so far (although I plan to try out the RX10M2 and flash today).

 

1.01.16: Found a Roots (CSC System) bag on sale @ London Drugs which fit this cam, the VF and the Nissin i40, along with pockets (albeit tight) for cards,extra battery and circ polarizer.

 

25.04.16: Early Spring with warmer than normal temps and travel plans. Have not made up my mind on what cams I will be taking to Alaska (7 day cruise). The RX10M2 would seem to be ideal, but so would the RX1 along with the 100m4. The vagaries of the weather (as experienced on previous trips) means that the DMZ-TS5 will be in my pocket. I can take more than one cam as flying is not necessary :). Ditto when RVing in B.C and Alberta.

 

3.06.16: Reviewing shots taken with this cam and the RX100M4. RX1 Landscapes and portraits really stand out (not surprisingly) when compared to the M4 (the latter is no slouch though).

 

vimeo.com/116692462

 

8.07.16: One decent rose in my garden, and I had to compare shots with the RX10M3. Although not in the same league as my long since sold macro lenses, I am happy with both shots.

 

15.01.17: A note the bags I am using with this cam:

1. Roots RHM 090: Tight but will fit the camera, VF, i40 flash, 2 filters and two cards. Tight for the sling strap ( have a smaller sling strap for this cam and a larger sling for the RX10m3). Again the straps that come with this bag are easy to change over.

2. Roots 73: Will fit the camera and VF along with a hand strap. No space for my sling strap, but the roots bag strap is easy to unclip and clip on to split key rings.

 

22.02.17: For backpacking I have a Optech USA soft pouch which will fit both the camera and VF.

16.09.18: Debating wether or not to sell this cam and upgrade to the a7iii with a 24-105 f/4 lens. I find that, at my age, I have to use a tripod most of the time (while I have the RX10M4 hanging off my shoulder/neck). The two together weigh more than the new combo by my calculations. We shall see, later than sooner, as the pre-orders lists are lengthy.

 

24.09.18: RX1 for sale and the A7RIII + 55 f1.8 has been shipped.

 

25.09.18: I may try to convince my wife to use this camera.

 

30.09.18: A7Riii returned along with the 55mm f/1.8.

Going in I was aware of the large files, but not to the extent it would slow down my workflow. Really liked the VF and LCD. Now waiting for the A7III and 24-105mm f/4.0. For now I will keep the RX1 with it's fixed 35mm f/2.0 - lens alone is worth the resale value of the RX1.

 

4.10.17: Opted for great glass Sony 35mm f1.4 and A7ii ($1,100.00 savings over A7iii). Selling RX1 + kit.

 

11.02.19: Kept the RX1 for its 2.0 lens, Full Frame and it is unobtrusive.

 

Processing: Changed from Aperture to Lightroom 6 and then to Capture One( several years before their conversion to the 'Cloud' as Sony colours and processing were/was better in my opinion). C1's annual upgrade fee doubled in the last year so I opted for Capture One Sony instead. I have copies of both Luminar 3 (I prefer the latter to ON1, and ON1 (I really thought that ON1 would replace Lightroom for me), but Raw shots had colour fringing while the otter apps did not, so I am sticking with C1 Sony for my Catalog, while processing as needed with Luminar 3 and Aurora 19 (more so than with Topaz).

28.07.19: Decision time fast approaching, whether to travel ( by air & sea ) with the ILCE-7M2 & 24-105 (f/4.0 - heavy) or the RX1 [f/2.0 - light] - ( along with the RX100V [24-70 f/1.8] & iPhone Xs Max [f/1.8) + Moment 18mm lens. Either way both cams have Peak Design straps, as well, I will attach a Peak Design Cuff.

 

17.08.19: After much back and forth, settled on less weight and bulk. RX1 it is for this trip.

 

15.09.19: Regreted somewhat not taking the ILCE-7M2. The RX1 viewfinder kept falling off in crowded conditions, tour buses, security etc..

 

8.09.20: Camped up island over the long labour day weekend. I wavered between traveling with the new (for me) iPhone 11 Max Pro + Moment lenses alone or also with the RX1. The RX1 won out, and did not disappoint (as usual). Processed the latter's shots first, and now the iPhone will be reviewed.

 

20.01.22: Planning to RV this year (the Island, B.C. Interior and Alberta's National Parks. My planned kit will be the Tamron 70-300, RX1, and the 24-100. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is always with me.

 

Sony version updates, nowhere near as convenient as Olympus - IMO. RX1 remains on version 1.0. Tried to update the ILCE-7M3, and the roadblock this time, is the latest Apple Mac OS Monterey. Wonder how long it will take them to update?

 

27.03.22: Updated. Next RX 1 & any lens updates.

 

Lens creep: re-reading some of me earlier notes - RX 1 solo & no other lenses required. Well that did not last long did it!

 

14.08.26: Well age creeps up slowly but surely! Selling all sony lenses and the A7iii, keeping the RX1, the RX100V and waiting for the RX10V to arrive. The Apple Pro Max 17, for me, the best yet for photography - it can't compare to full frame, but is with you most of the time. Sony kit seems to have a glut on the market as evident by camera shops being very, very picky about which lenses they will take in trade. Buyers are offering less than half price for top lenses, especially when compared to the Canadian $ price for new lenses. In my opinion, the latter has to do with the recent advances in cell phone photography. Cheers!

On East Hastings Street with its hidden house in the back. This old storefront is notoriously difficult to photograph as there's usually a car parked right out front. On Saturday I lucked out with no car and the light was just fabulous too. Despite looking like it's from another era (there are dot matrix printer boxes in the window) the place is still going and has very good reviews!

My new Minolta flagship, used by a pro in the days of film, he used it up to the era of AF, he then switched to the Minolta 9000.

 

He was also a Minolta dealer, with some nice new-old-stock items, like the Rokkor 1.7/85 mounted on the XM!

 

The camera still works like it should! :-)

Happy BirThDay ToO YOU (^)(^) ..

The Pen series is a family of half-frame cameras made by Olympus from 1959 to the beginning of the 1980s, and from 2009. Aside from the Pen F series of half-frame SLRs, they are fixed-lens rangefinder cameras.

 

The first-generation Olympus Pen camera appeared in 1959. The design process began with the concept of creating a camera that could be sold for ¥6,000 yen..

 

It can take 72 pics while using a 24x36 film.
