Repost @fuzzpope ・・・ I'm going to kick off Fuzz Friday with a spiffy new, Big Foot-proof fuzzy preamp my comrade Rob of @huber_effects Effects has conjured up. Effect description, from the source, "The IzzyPlus is a little known impedance buffer/preamp designed for steel guitars by the C.M. Baker company. This is a careful recreation of the original circuit, with only slight changes to the components, and housed in a board friendly enclosure. This version also includes a Big Muff tone stack, trimmed for maximum gain, and a switch to remove the tone stack. As a buffer, it can be placed before or after your signal chain or used as a standalone boost to push your tubes to fuzz overload. Unit #001, antiqued finish.".This stomp should make a great drinking partner with the Osiris Fuzz that Rob sent me last month, give a follow and keep your eyes on Mr Huber Effects for more awesomeness coming soon. The Izzy Plus is available by request, so first cone, first serve! #hubereffects #fuzzfriday #effectsdatabase #pedalboardmadness #rigsofdoom #guitar #tone #guitars #pedal #pedals #electricguitars #geartalk #gearporn #knowyourtone #fuzz #overdrive #gearwire #gearnerds #toneheaven #guitargear #gottone #guitarpedals #gearaholics #pedalporn #guitareffects #tonefordays #gearpassion #stompbox, via Instagram: bit.ly/2bEB1hc

In a late upload my intent was to show how I scan the medium format photos I've been taking, and while this may be an upload soon I wanted to step back by showing my appreciation. During my break from photography, a year or two ago, I got a call from my old boss, Mitch.

 

This man was the guy who sparked me to get into photography, and let me borrow his Canon AE-1 which was my first film camera...before even my Hasselblad 500C. It's fair to say that while my dad's old gear sparked my curiosity when I was very young, it was Mitch who inevitably motivated me to get into photography. In short, Bendersama Photography would really never be a "thing" if it's was for my old boss and manager from a mom and pop pizza joint.

 

With that out of the way, Mitch calls me and says he wants to clear out his closet of photography stuff, I acquiesce as a gear whore deep down, and am gifted a box of gear....and there it sat. Cut to I'm shooting 120 and 35mm like I never stopped photography and then I see this dusty old box. Inside are cameras and lenses in MINT CONDITION. I'm beside myself wondering about this winfall. How old are they, why are they in such great condition, why me..? It was at that moment that it hit me, he entrusted them to me. As keeper of the flame, of sorts. Like the Canon AE-1I later bought, which had somebody's Social Security Number etched on it, I know must keep these antique cameras and lenses clean, maintained, and full of film shot. Thank you Mitch for this gift. I'll put these to good use!

Seems like @hilkoguitars (from Belgium!) is making amps as well now: ・・・ Getting there. What do you think??? The #celestion gold is in place. Cut the logo out. Painted the baffle black. Have to go and buy some Lprofile to secure the amp. #ampbuilding #tubeamp #vintage #style #guitarporn #geartalk #gearfreak #tone #ampporn #tubeamp #boutiqueguitars #boutiqueguitarshop #boutique #funky #tad #tubeampdoctor #mojotone #mojo #handmadeinbelgium #tintin #hilko #hilko6973, via Instagram: bit.ly/1SDW9VG

GEAR TALK

 

Today I want to discuss this iron horse piece of gear. I've had the Canon EF 135 f/2.8 Softfocus lens for almost four years now, that's my second lens ever (first being the 50mm f/1.8 mkII). This lens is beautiful! Not only does it work as a modeling lens for head shots (see the upcoming wedding website, friends), but it also has a nice softening effect I can adjust for the headshots. Now I know the soft effect is hokey, but I've seen it make the overall picture composition look great. To top it off the wide aperture makes my depth I love, with very creamy bokeh.

 

So you are asking, where're the drawbacks, if any? It's loud when focusing, as in do not bring to a quiet shoot. Also, the focusing is unforgiving in low light, as it frantically searches for something to focus on. However in its defense overall if the conditions are right, and it sees the target, it's quick to adjust and is at the ready.

 

I would grade this as an 8/10 as the soft focus might not be for everyone, but if you like the effect it gives, get the lens. The glass is nice, but you will eventually be growing into a better lens. An underdog lens, a commonly snuffed at the effect, and a surprisingly good piece of gear that treats you right if you treat it with love: That's the Softfocus 135mm from Canon.

UPDATE: 2/18/12

All good things must end, and as such I'm selling some glass to upgrade. The 135mm is being sold to upgrade as well and if you or anybody you know wants to buy a lens, feel free to bid on it here.

Bendersama's 135mm f/2.8 softfocus lens auction

  

UPDATE 2/28/12

I with a heavy heart have sold the 135mm f/2.8 soft focus lens. This was part of a two-part exchange for upgrades. 135mm is being replaced by a highly suggested 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, due in part to the sharpness and quick AF (incidentally the 28-135mm IS USM which was supposed to replace my 28-105mm USM, actually was a downgrade; and so I'm replacing that with a 70-300mm IS USM).

 

I'm keeping this photo in my photostream due to how I did enjoy the lens. I would still suggest it as a starting lens, and this closes the book on this lens. Good lens, and good evening.
