Found these pretty blue gizmos while scavenging in my husband's electronics stuff. I'm told they are bypass capacitors for suppressing power supply noise. He's been building computers and other stuff since he was a young boy, and now that my son has similar interests, the volume of stuff has gotten way bigger. They build my son's desktop gaming computer last year, amongst other things.

My Canon 5D MkII with the Canon 70-200mm f/4L lens and battery grip.
I've since passed this to a friend, and bought the 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS, but I still miss this lens. It's lighter and is easier to move around and pack. I recommend this lens as the least expensive L-series lens. It's fantastic! If I still had it, I would probably carry it more than the f/2.8L IS. If you're thinking of getting a zoom lens, this is the one to get. Fantastic portraits!
In celebration of my 20,000th picture upload to Flickr, I give you a look at something that combines both my LEGO and our retail interests: a proper LEGO department store made from LEGO in minifigure scale.

History of DIY audio
Audio DIY came to prominence in the 50s to 60s, as audio reproduction was relatively new and the technology "complex," audio reproduction equipment, and in particular high performance equipment, was not offered at the retail level. Kits and designs were available for consumers to build their own equipment. Famous vacuum tube kits from Dynaco, Heathkit, and McIntosh, as well as solid state (transistor) kits from Hafler allowed for consumers to build their own hi fidelity systems. Books and magazines were published which explained new concepts regarding the design and operation of vacuum tube and (later) transistor circuits.
While audio equipment has become easily accessible in the current day and age, there still exists an interest in building one's own equipment, including amplifiers, speakers, preamplifiers, and even CD players and turntables. Today, a network of companies, parts vendors, and on-line communities exist to foster this interest. DIY is especially active in loudspeaker and in tube amplification. Both are relatively simple to design and fabricate without access to sophisticated industrial equipment. Both enable the builder to pick and choose between various available parts, on matters of price as well as quality, allow for extensive experimentation, and offer the chance to use exotic or highly labor-intensive solutions, which would be expensive for a manufacturer to implement, but only require personal labor by the DIYer, which is a source of satisfaction to them.

Das Herz auch dieser Kamera ist der „Copal B Mat special automatic programmed shutter“. Dieser Verschluss besteht nur aus zwei Lamellen, die gleichzeitig als Blende dienen. Damit sind Zeit/Blenden-Kombinationen von 1/30-2,8 bis 1/650-14 möglich.
Von ihren Verwandten unterscheidet sich die Mamiya 135 nur geringfügig. Da wäre das Fehlen von "B", so dass keine Langzeitbelichtungen möglich sind. Dann sind auf dem Entfernungsring außer den numerischen Werten auch Entfernungssymbole zu finden, die eigentlich bei einem Rangefinder überflüssig sind.
Das Seltsamste ist aber, dass statt der Blitz-Leitzahlen – die für das flashmatic-System nötig sind – nur Punkte auf dem Einstellring zu finden sind. Wahrscheinlich ist deren Bedeutung in der Bedienungsanleitung zu finden, die ich aber nicht besitze. Immerhin habe ich aber herausgefunden, dass der Bereich von LZ 10 bis 40 geht (für Meter). Ich vermute, dass der dem Wort "AUTO" am nächsten liegende Punkt die Leitzahl 10 bedeutet, die nächsten wären dann 14, 20, 28, 40 - das würde passen.
Inzwischen habe ich dank Dieter (Danke Dir!) herausgefunden, dass diese vier Punkte plus Blitzsymbol bestimmten Filmempfindlichkeits-Bereichen zugeordnet sind. So gilt der erste Punkt neben "AUTO" für 25-32 ASA, der Punkt am andern Ende ist für 400-320-ASA-Filme. Man sollte aber dazu das empfohlene Blitzgerät von Bell & Howell benutzen.
The Japanese-labeled version of the Nikkormat EL, introduced 1972. The first electronically-controlled Nikon SLR. This one came with this rather distressed 50mm lens, and a Nikkor 80-200 f4.5 zoom.
It took some cleaning to get it looking even this nice, and a lot of fiddling to get the electronics to wake up.
The Pentax SV was a 35mm SLR camera launched in 1963. This one has a sticky mirror, but everything else seems to work, but there is the slight yellow tint to the lens from Thorium 232.

NIKKOR - The Thousand and One Nights Tale 16 : Ai Noct NIKKOR 58mm f/1.2
The Noct NIKKOR that was said to be named after "Nocturne" was released in 1977, the same year the release of the Nikon Photomic A. This lens, as was called "Noct", was designed for taking a picture at night with fully opened aperture stop.

So after talking a bunch of smack about cameras that didn't have interchangeable lenses, I ended up getting one myself. Believe me, this came out of pure necessity. I wasn't willing to lug around my D90 to certain places due to its size, but at the same time I didn't want to sacrifice image quality by getting a camera with a smaller sensor. The solution: Nikon's AA filter-less, point-and-shoot-sized camera with a DX sensor and 18.5mm prime lens.

This camera has a folding frontsight and target has no shutter. The esposure was made by removing the lens cap for the time deemed necessary and this cover, familiarly called" hat", gave rise to a tasty anecdote. The photographer, maybe Eric Solomom, had been commissioned to photography a group of kings and heads of state gathered in Berlin in the early '900. The camera mounted on a sturdy tripod, the assistant next to it, in front of the statesmen, the camera with his headd covered with an hat. The photographer was struggling between the group and the camera and when he thought that everythings was in order shouted to his assistant to remove the cover from the lens:- Hat off !!!.- Incredible, like one man only, kings and heads of state discovered his head.
L’apparecchio ha un mirino a traguardo ripiegabile ed è privo di otturatore . L’esposizione si effettuava semplicemente togliendo il coperchio dell’obiettivo per il tempo ritenuto necessario e questo coperchio , chiamato familiarmente cappello, dette origine ad un gustoso aneddoto . Il fotografo , forse Eric Solomon , aveva ricevuto l’incarico di fotografare un gruppo di re e capi di stato riuniti a Berlino nei primi anni del ‘900 . La macchina montata su un robusto cavalletto , accanto ad essa l’assistente , di fronte gli statisti con la testa ricoperta dalla tuba . Il fotografo si affannava tra il gruppo e la fotocamera e quando ritenne che tutto fosse a posto urlò al suo assistente di togliere il coperchio all’obiettivo :- Giù il cappello ! - Come un solo uomo regnanti e capi di stato si scoprirono la testa .

A look back at the buses and coaches that visited the Farnborough Airshow in July 2014.
Ahead of its appearance on the public days of the airshow, Maplin-liveried Volvo B7TL / Plaxton President non-psv W485WGH visited the Maplin store in Farnborough. The bus started life with London General as PVL85 in 2000.
I bought this Voigtlander Bessa L from Ffordes in Inverness on the way up to a holiday on the Orkney Islands.
I had been really looking forward to visiting Ffordes as it is the biggest classic camera shop in Scotland. Unfortunately the shop was a big disappointment.
I had been looking forward to satisfying my old camera fetish with a browse through the shop's extensive stock of beautiful old cameras, but it turns out you can't do this. You have to browse Ffordes website before you visit the shop, and when you get there you tell the sales assistant what you want to see and he then brings it to you from the back of the shop. Fortunately I had browsed the website and I had some ideas for things I'd like to see, but I would still have liked to browse the shop and maybe get inspired by seeing something unexpected.
Instead Ffordes operate more like a kind of classic camera version of an Argos catalogue shop... you browse the catalogue (or rather the website... and before you get there!) and then a minion brings you what you have asked for.
I asked to see a couple of things I'd seen on the website: a Canon 7 rangefinder and a Voigtlander Bessa L with 15mm lens. Then can the 2nd disappointment... the Canon 7 didn't work. I can only hope they inspect cameras before they post them a bit more carefully than they do before they list them on the website!
When I finally decided to buy the Voigtlander I got the final nasty shock... Scotland's biggest film camera shop doesn't actually sell film!!!!!! In fact I'll just add a few more exclamation marks at this astounding and fact... !!!!!! I wanted to use my new camera on holiday and it was unlikely I would find the film I wanted in the Orkneys as it was late in the day and I wasn't sure I'd find any elsewhere in Inverness either. In retrospect this stupidity should have cost Ffordes the sale, but I decided to risk it and get the camera anyway. Fortunately we passed a branch of Boots that was still open and I managed to get some film there.
Now I have my little Voigtlander I love it... it has some minor damage to the top corner near the shutter button, but since I bought this camera to use I don't mind that it has signs of use... in fact I think it adds some character. And the 15mm lens is spectacular!! But I'm afraid I can't recommend a stop at Ffordes to browse some beautiful cameras.
I have already posted some shots from my first roll of film in the Bessa L.
My new baby. Nikon F3HP + 50mm 1.2 + 28mm 2.8 + 105mm 2.5 All lenses are AI-s
I could not be more excited! The only thing holding me back from being out shooting right now is that the cover for the motor drive is missing, leaving a hole in the bottom of the camera. Once the replacement cap comes though, it's shootin' time! *Edit* Turns out, black electrical tape works just fine, and I've had a ball using the camera, especially with the 50mm lens. It can do anything! More black and whites are on the way (as soon as I find a decent place to scan the negs).
Yeah yeah, I know. I took this with a digital camera. Blasphemy.

Cámara de baquelita provista de una lente de 50 mm que, en medio formato, permitía la obtención de 16 imágenes de 3x4cm, sobre rollo para 8 fotogramas de película estándar 127. Disponía de dos posiciones de obturación – I (instantánea) y T (time o diafragma abierto hasta que se suelta el disparador) – con una placa frontal negra que incluye la marca y la imagen de Dick Tracy, quien fuera un personaje del cómic creado en 1931 por Chester Gould que inicialmente se publico en las viñetas del dominical tanto del Detroit Mirror como el New York News y a partir de 1932 en el Chicago Tribune. Alcanzó rápidamente una gran popularidad, dando el salto desde las tiras de prensa hasta la televisión como dibujo animado y que quien escribe llegó a seguir en las tardes mientras merendaba después de la “dura” jornada del colegio.
Esta historieta de villanos y policías protagonizada por el detective Tracy, cuya caricatura era singularmente cúbica y que usaba un entonces revolucionario transmisor de muñeca, fue incluso llevada en 1990 a la pantalla grande, en una adaptación que dirigió y protagonizó Warren Beatty junto a Madonna interpretando a una femme fatale y con la participación de estrellas de la talla de Al Pacino en una aparición corta o cameo. Por tanto, no debe extrañar que una sencilla y barata cámara utilizase la imagen y marca de este popular heroe de ficción para atraer la atención y el deseo de los niños de la posguerra.
En cuanto al fabricante, tan solo apuntar que si bien figura como un producto de Seymore Products, en realidad es una de tantas designaciones comerciales de las que hizo uso el polifacético empresario y promotor inmobiliario de Chicago John Galter quien, en torno a Galter Products, además de producir relojes, encendedores o maquinillas electricas de afeitar, fue prolífico en la producción de singulares cámaras de baquelita, unas veces como Monarch Manufacturing Co., otras como Seymour o Seymor Company (ambas grafías) e incluso como Falcon Camera Company. Incluso la cámara es esencialmente igual a otras comercializadas como Falcon Miniature, Majestic, Pickwik o Regal.
En esta misma colección se muestran algunos otros productos fotográficos de esta empresa de Chicago, entre las cuales se encuentra una Spartus Press Flash, Flash-Master y la pequeña cámara Falcon Deluxe.
También se puede ver la Sprocket Rocket, surgida del mundo lomográfico que, 63 años más tarde, presenta similitudes de diseño evidente aunque las funcionalidades no tengan absolutamente nada que ver.
Yashica Mat 124 G
Just got this new toy in the mail. I have been surfing e-bay lately (Bad for the wallet) and got a killer deal on this baby. I have always wanted a TLR but even the used Rolleiflex are still crazy priced. Didn't really want a toy one either so I decided on the Yashica Mat somewhere in the middle.
The Flexaret makes 6x6cm exposures on 120 roll-film, it has a Prontor II shutter with speeds TB,1 to 200, Meopta Mirar f3.5/80mm lens made in Czechoslovakia c1950
