Jeff and I took photos through each other's viewfinders. It wasn't as magical as I'd hoped but it was still kinda neat.
Size comparison of Panasonic G2 and Olympus e-pm1 and e-pl1 with viewfinder vf-2.
Not made for beauty but to get an idea of the size of an Oly + viewfinder. Of course Olympus offers you a modular system and you can take the vf-2 off and make the Oly's more compact.
A replica of the famous Borghese gladiator statue, the original of which is in the Paris Louvre, will be installed in the Abbey's 17th Century courtyard to replace the lost statue that previously stood guard on the site...Halelinda a lady to be obeyed.
The cameramen were fascinating to watch. The giant boom thingy, the stedicam operators, and the big robot-looking regular cameras -- it was all very cool.
A cute classic viewfinder camera with a Rokkor 38mm F/2.8 pancake lens. Manual exposure control with match needle style coupled selenium meter. The selenium cell on this copy is dead but I am not crazy about that.
The exposure is set by EV number instead of separate aperture size and shutter speed. Inside the Citizen-L shutter the exposure control plate has slots that control the aperture and shutter speed at the same time based on a predefined program curve, from F/2.8, 1/30s for EV8 to F/22, 1/250s for EV17. In addition, the aperture can be set manually from F/2.8 to F/16 for flash photography with the shutter speed fixed at 1/30s. Bulb mode is also provided.
The self timer is a separate unit. To activate, just push the chrome button at the front side.
Reflector is one of THE most popular requests I get. I wanted to modernize the Generation 1 toy, but put the Generation 1 cartoon feel to him/them. Sort of a "hybrid" of G1 cartoon fused with the G1 Toy. Reflector now has tons of details and articulation
New features/articulation/point of interest:
- New heads
- Shoulder articulation
- Elbow articulation
- Wrist articulation
- Hand articulation (Spyglass)
- Hip articulation
- Knee articulation
- Glass lens on Viewfinder has hologram Decepticon faction symbol inside it
- Alt mode (camera) has light up lens
Transform and combine all 3 robots to form "camera" mode. Perfect for spying on Autobots.
Debatable "Masterpiece Class" considering he scales well with several Masterpiece figures (see images)
I inherited this camera from my uncle in the 1980's. It sure takes crisp, sharp photos for a fixed-lens viewfinder.
A look through the viewfinder. It's nice and bright - if you can see what you're trying to take a picture of, you'll be able to focus on it if your lens is appropriate at all.
On the right hand side is the speed indicator: LEDs indicate the metered speed (two means that the speed is between the two). If you have it set on a speed manually, that will appear as a blinking LED if not the same as the metered speed. OVER and UNDER are too fast or too slow for the camera... on auto, it will stay open for up to 40 seconds though.
The central part has a diagonal split focus bar and a ground glass ring around that.
The small rectangle at the bottom shows the aperture. It's just a little window down onto the dial on the lens, nothing fancy.
Made in Germany by Wilhem Witt, which took over the original Iloca company in early 1950s. According to the McKeown's guide, this is the earlier version of Tower 50 that is similar to the Iloca Quick L introduced in 1954. There is also a later version (1956-1958) based on the Iloca Quick R that has the rapid wind lever and a thicker base for the top cover.
It is equipped with a Steinheil Munchen Cassar 1:2.8 45mm lens in a Vero shutter, with speeds from 1/25 to 1/200, plus B. The viewfinder is quite small. Guess focusing from 3 feet to infinity by rotating the front cell. The back cover can be removed for easy film loading. The way it is removed is unusual -- by prying the rear-left side panel. The body is made of cast metal and feels very solid.
This camera is special in that its shutter resembles a program shutter with two shared aperture and shutter blades. However, there is no speed governor commonly found in program shutters (the flywheel on the C35 shutter and the escape on some Seiko shutters). As the result, the shutter blades move in a snap and the shutter open time remains relatively stable (about 1/125) regardless of the aperture size. The aperture size is controlled by the combination of the weather settings (sunny, cloudy, flash, close up flash) and the film speed settings (100, 200/400, 1000), resulting six different values from f/4.5 to f/16.
The shutter is pure mechanical and once cocked can be released without battery. However, there is no way to manually cock the shutter -- it has to be done by the motor driven film advance mechanism.
It has a 34mm f/4.5 lens with fixed focus. The CdS sensor is only used for low light warning (so you can turn the flash on manually).
It seems to be almost identical (except the ISO labeling) to the Halina Speedy 33, made by Haking of Hong Kong.
This is a nice little compact camera from the late 1960s. It is very sturdy with all metal construction. The condition is surprisingly good except that the lens label plate is missing and the foam seals need replacement. The selenium meter is still working, but the EV reading is one stop lower when compared with my DSLR. This can be compensated with higher ISO setting (e.g. use ISO 200 for ISO 100 film). The maximum ISO setting is 200. That leaves ISO 100 film as the best choice for this camera.
The lens is Fujinon 38mm f/2.8 with aperture down to f/22. The Seiko-L shutter has speed 1/30-1/250s, and Bulb. The shutter works in one of three modes: (1) when the aperture is set to "A", the shutter is automatically locked to "A/flash", this is the programmed auto exposure mode; (2) when the aperture is set to a non-"A" position and the shutter is set to "A/flash", the shutter speed is set to a fixed flash sync speed, this is the flash mode; (3) when both aperture and shutter are set to non-"A" position, it works in full manual exposure mode.

Russian-made post-war 3,5cm 24x36 silver viewfinder, commonly used with Kiev and Zorki rangefinders.
During a recent trip back to my old house, I came across this old Kodak duaflex camera that I had picked up at a yard sale a good 10-15 years ago, and had never really thought about using. I opened it up, and checked it out, and it appears to be in perfect condition. So I picked up some film over at Central Camera, and we wandered around Chicago taking some pictures with it.
Will the photos come out? Who knows, but it was a lot of fun. This camera is just about as simple as one can get: the focus is fixed, there is only two choices of shutter speed: fixed and bulb. Hopefully it takes a nice and sharp picture, but it has definitely made me interested in getting a cheap medium format camera.
