I grabbed this monster at the Thornhill Camera Show this morning. It's on loan and if it proves to be in working order (no leaks, shutter speeds relatively accurate) I may want to keep it. I love the idea of a 4x5 SLR. The lens fitted to it is a Bausch & Lomb 5x7 Tessar I c. From what I've read online the lens has a focal length of about 190mm. The back is not a standard graflok, so I'm hoping the lone film holder with it will be light tight.
I remember reading in his autobiography that Helmut Newton used a version of this camera for his early portrait work. Should be fun to play with.
Anoher love at first sight. I thought that Minolta did not have a camera that I would consider a design classic, like the Spotmatic. Well, apparently they did, and this is it, the 1965 Minolta SR-7. The camera is superbly designed, very neat, simple, balanced, full of elegance that manages to desguise the camera's width. The SR-7 was the world's first SLR equipped with a cds cell. The model V has basically the same system, but more refined. A really wonderful camera that reminds me of the Olympus OM-1 under certain angles.
Bumped into this SLR again last week; this hasn't been brought it out since the last time I saw. Am trying to arrange for a shoot, but the owner is incredibly busy.
Fingers crossed, then...
This is our old Film SLR, a Canon T50. I discovered tonight that we had a 50mm f/1.8 lens which I'm fairly sure I've never taken a shot with. When I used this camera I had the 28-200mm Tokina lens on it.
I was in a camera store today ordering a new tripod (Velbon Sherpa 450R for those interested), and asked to have a hold of the Canon 400D - very sweet indeed! I didn't realise how much I missed the feel of a zoom lens and manual focus ring. Things are looking good for a Christmas purchase ;)
Thus on the way back to work I poked into a developing store to look for some b&w film for the T50, alas only the usual kodak and fuji colour films. However, holding the T50 is really uncomfortable, the grip is not very molded, and quite square at the back, not like the smaller 400D which snuggles in quite happily.

I tried (albeit for about 10 seconds) to come up with a witty, interesting or otherwise intelligent title, but failed. If you have a suggestion let it be heard, you never know I might like it enough to use it. If it's truly inspiring maybe you'll get a prize.. like being listed as my sibling on Facebook or something.
It's not the easiest combination to handle (it's kind of like lifting a bowling ball), but this one has to win the prize for looking cool.....
Pentax *ist, a 35mm SLR.
What a cool camera this is. Tiny, the look and feel of a toy. It is really rich featured, but for sure not a professional camera. I took this picture without a lens on the *ist, because you wouldn't see much of the camera otherwise. (Picture with lens.)
Some specs in short: shutter speeds 30s - 1/4000s + B, man. ISO 6 - 6400, 16-segment TTL-metering (also spot and center-weighted), 11 focus points (selectable), size: 122mm x 84mm x 63.5mm, weight 335g, needs 2x CR2 batteries.
Some features in short: KAF2-mount, exposure bracketing (adjustable), exposure compensation (± 3EV), consecutive shooting, multi-exposure, DOF-preview, data back, big LCD-screen (illuminated), exposure modes: manual (metered), Sp, Ap, 6 picture modes, diopter, wire & wireless remote, 17 custom functions, etc,
With those custom functions the camera is very configurable: select "custom" on the mode dial, on the LC-display the number of the function (CF-n) and its setting (n) appear. You can select the function with the up-down keys of the AF-point selector, and the setting with the left-right keys. Because there are only numbers, you need the table of functions, which is printed in the manual.
Some configurations are: override ISO setting of DX-code manually, leaving the film tip out after rewinding, enable shutter button with non-A lenses, etc.
Example: some websites say, that the *ist has no mirror lock-up - that's not true:
CF12-1: self-timer delay 12s, no mirror lock-up
CF12-2: self-timer delay 2 s, mirror lock-up.
The usage of K- or M-lenses is a small desaster, because the *ist has the so called crippled KAF2-mount ; it can't read out an f-stop set on the lens. First of all, you need to allow the use of non-A lenses (custom function CF17-2), otherwise the shutter will not open at all.
In aperture priority mode the aperture will not(!) be closed, neither when taking a picture nor in DOF-preview. You might observe that it closes, but at a longer shutter speed you will notice, that it closes when the shutter itself is closed again and only for a short moment. On the other hand, the camera meters and set the right shutter speed, but only for the largest f-stop. That means, you can work with lenses where you can close the diaphragm manually, e.g. adapted M42 lenses with A/M switch or a macro head on a bellows.
In manual mode, the aperture is closed correctly, but the camera refuses to meter. So, your only chance is to calculate the correct shutter speed from the result of the AE-metering.

The equipment for my analog project this summer.
The camera is a 35mm focal-plane shutter aperture priority AE SLR camera with an electronic shutter.
The Konica TC-X was introduced in 1983 and was both the last Konica SLR and also the first SLR with a plastic body and frame.
The AR lens mount was introduced in 1965 and Konica further developed existing and new lenses up until the launch of the TC-X, finally discontinuing its SLR systems in 1987.
Some Konica lenses are very highly rated. Once I receive my adapter I plan to take some shots with this lens on my Sony ILCE.

The tenth pack I shot with the Polaroid SLR 680 was a black-and-blue film with black frame from Polaroid Originals. I've used this model before, but this time I tried it out without using the flash and was immediatly more satisfied with the result.
Taken with Polaroid SLR 680 analog camera. Polaroid Originals 600 instant film, black & blue duochrome. A few months expired.
