Seria dificil dir quina és la pel•licula de 35mm més famosa del món, amb tants contendents, i no sabria dir tampoc quin és el cas per al format 16mm, però sí sé quina és la pel•licula de format 8mm més famosa del món. I de lluny. És molt curta, només 28 segons, i muda. Però ha estat analitzada fins als extrems més inversemblants des de fa decades. Es tracta de la filmació Zapruder: la filmació que feu Abraham Zapruder de l’assassinat de John Fitzgerald Kennedy a Dallas, Texas, el 22 de novembre de 1963.
L’empresari texà (d’origen jueu ucraïnès) Abraham Zapruder aprofità que el President Kennedy visitava la seva ciutat per a filmar la cavalcada presidencial, ja que era un avid fan del cinema amateur. Per a això emprà la seva càmera Bell & Howell 414PD Zoomatic Director Series, una de les millors del mercat; la emulsió fou Kodachrome II en color i sense sò. La càmera es mou per un motor de molla, sense electricitat, compta amb fotometre que pot regular la apertura automàticament i zoom manual o asistit per motor (amb controls a la part superior).
Després de buscar una mica, he aconseguit fer-me amb una càmera Bell & Howell 414PD, pràcticament identica a la que emprà Zapruder. De fet, la única diferencia que hi he trobat és la manca de indicadors als controls del zoom de la part superior. Amb tot, hi ha MOLTES variants d’aquestes càmeres Zoomatic de Bell & Howell.
En aquesta imatge en concret podeu veure la comparativa entre la fotografia oficial feta per National Archives de la autentica càmera de A. Zapruder, i la meva copia, que he “tunejat” perquè s’hi asembli. Per això li he posat tant una etiqueta que li enganxà el FBI com a prova que era del crim, així com un fragment d’esparadrap a la part superior on sembla que hi varen escriure (probablement també el FBI) “Kennedy”. Clavadetes, no?

The Texan businessman (of Ukrainian Jewish origin) Abraham Zapruder took advantage of President Kennedy's visit to his city to film the presidential cavalcade, as he was an avid fan of amateur cinema. For this he used his Bell & Howell 414PD Zoomatic Director Series camera, one of the best on the market; the emulsion was Kodachrome II in color and without sound. The camera is driven by a spring motor, without electricity, has a photometer that can regulate the aperture automatically and manual or motor-assisted zoom (with controls on the top).

In fact, the only difference I found is the lack of indicators on the zoom controls on the top. However, there are MANY variants of these Bell & Howell Zoomatic cameras.
In this particular image you can see the comparison between the official photograph taken by the National Archives of the authentic A. Zapruder camera, and my copy, which I have “tuned” to resemble it. That is why I have put both a label that the FBI stuck on it as the crime evidence that it was, as well as a piece of tape on the top where it seems that they (probably also the FBI) wrote “Kennedy”.

Vorrei che quella bandiera che sventola fosse quella Ucraina è che il tempo fosse passato veloce, come fosse solo un ricordo, da festeggiare in un paese demogratico, libero e felice, che vuole ricordare i suoi morti.
Questa casa distrutta dai tedeschi per snidare i partigiani che persero la vita per liberare la nostra patria dall'invasore, ci porta ricordare le immagini viste delle città ucraine, la differenza sta solo nell’edera che ha coperto queste mura per dimenticare quelle barbarie, mentre loro stanno ancora soffrendo e morendo.
I wish that flag flying was that Ukraine and that time had passed quickly, as if it were just a memory, to be celebrated in a demogratic, free and happy country, which wants to remember its dead.
This house destroyed by the Germans to flush out the partisans who lost their lives to free our homeland from the invader, brings us to remember the images seen of Ukrainian cities, the difference is only in the ivy that covered these walls to forget those barbarities, while they are still suffering and dying.
Бажаю, щоб прапор був, щоб Україна і цей час промайнув швидко, ніби це був просто спогад, щоб святкуватись у демографічній, вільній і щасливій країні, яка хоче пам’ятати своїх загиблих.
Цей будинок, зруйнований німцями, щоб змити партизанів, які загинули, щоб визволити нашу Батьківщину від загарбників, змушує згадати побачені образи українських міст, різниця лише в плющі, що вкривав ці стіни, щоб забути ті варварства, поки вони все ще страждають і вмирають.

On the Turó de la Rovira, Barcelona, there is a place that is both an exceptional viewpoint of the city, and part of its tragic and military history. This is obviously the anti-aircraft battery built there during the civil war. It is also known as the "bunquers del Carmel".
This battery was built in 1938 to defend Barcelona from fascist bombers, notably the Italians coming from Mallorca. Its main armament was 4 105mm AA guns, apparently Vickers 105/45 mod. 1923. But there must also have been other pieces of smaller caliber, since the battery clearly has 4 large artillery pits (for the 105mm guns) and at least 3 more smaller ones. There was also a command post and sleeping quarters for the soldiers.
To photograph a place so relevant to the defense of Barcelona during the war, I have expressly used a Soviet Arsenal Salyut-S medium format camera, manufactured in Kyiv in 1974. A Ukrainian link with Barcelona now that the bombings are taking place in the city of the Dnipro.

Dins de les nombroses càmeres produides per la URSS n'hi ha moltes que foren copies més o menys flagrants de models occidentals, sobretot alemans. Però hi ha algunes notables excepcions, mostrant la seva capacitat per crear càmeres de gran qualitat, com a mínim fins els anys 60.
La Leningrad fou un dels disenys sovietics més unics, i plenament autocton. Produida per GOMZ a la mateixa ciutat que li dona nom (la actual Sant Petersburg), la Leningrad era una càmera telemetrica de 35mm amb motor de molla. Es a dir, que el obturador de pla focal era semi-automatic, mogut per una gran molla situada en el tambor de dalt a l'esquerra; es poden arribar a fer unes 3 fotos per segon, amb traça. Per desgracia, la complexitat d'aquesta càmera la feia procliu a les averies, i moltes de les que es poden trobar no funcionen. El sistema de telemetria també és molt complexe, emprant prismes, i no miralls, el que dona un visor de gran lluminositat i qualitat.
Aquest exemplar fou fabricat el 1958-59, i venia amb un objectiu Jupiter-8 f2 / 50mm del 1957. L'obturador funciona molt be, i amb un so fantastic. Talment com un fusell semiautomatic!!
Però el més unic d'aquesta càmera en concret és que porta una inscripció en ciril·lic honrant al propietari, pel que fou un regal força especial.
En primer lloc parlem de la inscripció, en ciril·lic cursiu i que he traduit com he pogut gràcies a internet:
"1972р
П/П Садовникову ВП
от офицеров -
сослуживцев
о. Сахалин
май"
Es a dir: " A 1972, per a "P/P" Sadovnikov V.P., dels companys oficials, illa de Sakhalin, maig".
Obviament és una càmera regalada a un oficial del exercit sovietic pels seus companys, tots plegats part de la guarnició de la illa de Sakhalin, al nord del Japó. La Leningrad era una de les càmeres de més gran qualitat de la URSS tot i que ja fabricada feia uns 12 anys. Per tant era un regal de força prestigi. L'homenatjat és cert V. P. Sadovnikov, clarament oficial sovietic ell mateix.
Altres elements no tant clars son el inici i el final del text. Aquest acaba amb el mot "maig", que només sé interpretar com que li fou regalada el 1 de Maig, cosa molt lògica en el món sovietic i encara més dins l'exèrcit, ja que era un dia de desfilades i celebracions. Més dificil de veure'n el significat és l'abreviació П/П, es a dir, P.P. Tot i que no ho he pogut confirmar, potser fa referencia al rang sovietic de tinent coronel, ja que aquest era podpolkovnik (подполко́вник), i pp sembla una abreviació lògica.
El més curios del cas es que he trobat un oficial sovietic (i després ucraines) que correspon a aquest noms i cognom: Valentin Pavlovitx Sadovnikov (Валентин Павлович Садовников). Es tracta d'un general nascut el 1938. El 1979 comandà la 42 divisió cuirassada. Entre el 1983 i el 1985 comandà el 8e Exercit Cuirassat!! Després es retirà. Sembla agossarat, però el cognom i el patronimic coindiceixen plenament. Podria ser que aquest oficial fos tinent coronel a Sakhalin el 1972 i que 7 anys més tard hagues ascendit fins a general-major? Ah...

===============================================================================================
Among the many cameras produced by the USSR are many that were more or less blatant copies of western models, especially German ones. But there are some notable exceptions, showing their ability to create high-quality cameras, at least until the 1960's.
The Leningrad was one of the most unique and fully indigenous Soviet designs. Produced by GOMZ in it's namesake city (now St. Petersburg), the Leningrad was a 35mm spring-loaded rangefinder camera. That is, the focal plane shutter automatically advanced, driven by a large spring located on the upper left drum; You can get about 3 photos per second, but pushing the release everytime. Unfortunately, the complexity of this camera made it prone to breakdowns, and many of those that can be found do not work. The rangefinder system is also very complex, using prisms, not mirrors, which gives a high-quality, high-brightness viewfinder.
This specific camera was manufactured in 1958-59, and came with a 1952 KMZ Jupiter-8 f2 / 50mm lens. I'ts in perfect condition, almost as new. The shutter works very well, and it has a fantastic sound. Such as a semi-automatic rifle !!
But the most unique thing about this particular camera is that it has a Cyrillic inscription on top of the spring drum, honoring the owner, so it was a very special gift.
First we talk about the inscription, in cursive Cyrillic and that I have translated as I could thanks to the internet:
"1972р
П/П Садовникову ВП
от офицеров -
сослуживцев
о. Сахалин
май"
That is: "In 1972, for P./P. Sadovnikov V.P., from his fellow officers, Sakhalin Island, May."
It is obviously a camera given as a present to a Soviet army officer by his colleagues, all from the garrison of Sakhalin Island in northern Japan. The Leningrad was one of the highest quality cameras in the USSR, although this was manufactured about 12 years before 1972. Therefore it was a gift of great prestige. The owner is V.P. Sadovnikov, clearly a Soviet officer himself.
Other elements not so clear are the beginning and the end of the text. This ends with the word "May", which I can only interpret as the present being given on May 1, which is quite logical in the Soviet world and even more so in the army, as it was a day of parades and celebrations. The most difficult to see the meaning of is the abbreviation П / П, that is, P.P. Although I have not been able to confirm this, it may refer to the Soviet rank of Lieutenant Colonel, as this was a podpolkovnik (подполко́вник), and pp seems like a logical abbreviation.
The interesting question here is that I have come across a Soviet official who corresponds to this name and surname: Valentin Pavlovich Sadovnikov (Валентин Павлович Садовников). This is a major-general born in 1938. In 1979 he comanded the 42th Armoured Division, and between 1983 and 1985 he commanded the 8th Armored Army!! Then he retired. It seems bold, but the surname and patronymic fully coincide with the person receiving this camera. Could it be that this officer was a lieutenant colonel in Sakhalin in 1972 and that 11 years later he had promoted to general and commanded an armored corps? Ah ...

Picture taken with an Arsenal Salyut-S camera, made in the USSR in 1974; Vega 12B f2.8 / 80mm lens; Ilford Ortho 80 film, developed in HC110.
On the Turó de la Rovira, Barcelona, there is a place that is both an exceptional viewpoint of the city, and part of its tragic and military history. This is obviously the anti-aircraft battery built there during the civil war. It is also known as the "bunquers del Carmel".
This battery was built in 1938 to defend Barcelona from fascist bombers, notably the Italians coming from Mallorca. Its main armament was 4 105mm AA guns, apparently Vickers 105/45 mod. 1923. But there must also have been other pieces of smaller caliber, since the battery clearly has 4 large artillery pits (for the 105mm guns) and at least 3 more smaller ones. There was also a command post and sleeping quarters for the soldiers.
To photograph a place so relevant to the defense of Barcelona during the war, I have expressly used a Soviet Arsenal Salyut-S medium format camera, manufactured in Kyiv in 1974. A Ukrainian link with Barcelona now that the bombings are taking place in the city of the Dnipro.
Questi sono i frutti di ogni guerra, non importa se sei vincitore o vinto questo e quello che rimane.
Ho voluto postare questo scatto per unirmi al dolore delle famiglie Ucraine e Russe che hanno avuto dei lutti per una guerra che oggi non ha più senso, una guerra dettata dalla cupidigia del potere.
Questa mia foto d’archivio, scattata in occasione dei 150 anni dell’unità d’Italia all’ossario di S. Martino della Battaglia.
Dove il 24 giugno 1859 le truppe Piemontesi e Francesi Sconfissero gli Austriaci per liberare la nostra patria dall’invasore, per un’ Italia unita.
Ora le spoglie di queste giovane vite sono accumunate tutte insieme, vinti e vincitori, morti perché credevano in un ideale, morti perché mandati sul campo di battaglia…
Ogni guerra lascia dietro se questi frutti, i potenti dovrebbero riflettere e trovare sempre la via del dialogo al posto delle armi.
These are the fruits of any war, no matter if you are a winner or won this and what remains.
I wanted to post this shot to join the pain of the Ukrainian and Russian families who have had the grief for a war that no longer makes sense, a war dictated by the greed of power.
This archive photo of mine, taken on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy at the ossuary of S. Martino della Battaglia.
Where on 24 June 1859 the Piedmontese and French troops defeated the Austrians to free our country from the invader, for a united Italy.
Now the remains of these young lives are accumulated all together, losers and winners, dead because they believed in an ideal, dead because they were sent to the battlefield ...
Every war leaves these fruits behind, the powerful should always reflect and always find the way to dialogue instead of weapons.
AN-124-100
The Antonov-124-100 is the world’s largest civil cargo aircraft, and an acknowledged leader of the air cargo market for the transportation of oversized and super-heavy shipments. The combination of exceptional characteristics such as its cargo compartment size, flight range and uplift capability without using special loading equipment allows the An-124 to carry super-heavy and oversized cargo up to 120 tonnes across the greatest range.
The aircraft’s pressurized cargo cabin, with its total volume of 1050 m³, guarantees unprecedented opportunities for the transportation of different types of cargo, including non-standard and oversized pieces or shipments demanding special transportation conditions.
Multi-leg landing gears equipped with 24 wheels allow to operate the aircraft on unpaved runways as well as to change the angle of the fuselage to simplify loading operations.
The Antonov-124-100 has two loading entrances, at the nose and tail of the aircraft, both equipped with expanding loading ramps. For loading of non-standard cargo the cabin is equipped with two electric winches of 3 tonnes traction each and 4 electric hoists of common carrying capacity up to 30 tonnes.
Volga-Dnepr operates a fleet of 12 Antonov-124-100 aircraft. (info source: Volga-Dnepr Homepage)
