The Nikon F6 was released in 2004 and is still in production today. It is the most advanced film camera that Nikon ever produced and probably ever will produce. The technology of the F6 is similar to the F5, but in a smaller and lighter body. Within the limits of film, the operation of the F6 is very similar to that of modern Nikon digital SLRs, including color matrix exposure metering and support for VR lenses.

And now, for something entirely different!
I've always wanted to be able to build "Artsy" stuff, but I've never really taken the time to try and build something as an art piece.
So last night, I sat down, and I built art!
so, i'm trying the ol' bathroom mirror portrait trick, but my grand plans are foiled because instead of being tricked into looking into the camera reflection in the mirror odin was was quite happy to play with the real camera in front of him. i was hoping that he would accidentally hit the shutter button to snap a photo, but mostly he just fiddled with the knobs and mouthed the SLR eyepiece. with a bit more apprenticeship, i'm sure he'll be be ready to begin the process of taking over as family photographer.
actually, at first the camera was off to the side as i was attempting to get a picture with both of our faces in the frame, but that resulted in multitudes of shots of him lunging for the camera while i precariously balanced him in one hand and the camera in another. so i compromised and put the camera front and center which means you'll have to wait a little longer for a proper portrait of him and me.
really, i am slightly less camera shy than i appear. but only slightly.
Can't do a macro shot without some background blur ;-)

FR: Je vous présente M. Mamiya M645 1000s avec son bon ami M. Zeiss 80mm 2.8 Jena Biometar. C'est le magnifique appareil avec lequel j'ai fait mes précédentes photos dans mon stream.
Croyez le ou non mais je le vends pour... Un autre Mamiya (j'adore les Mamiya)... Une version plus récente avec laquelle je pourrais changer les dos. Je suis un peu triste de le vendre (sentimental, mon 1er moyen format argentique) mais je suis définitivement pas assez riche pour tous les garder (Le D800 arrive bientôt). Donc quelqu'un aura la grande chance de te posséder l'ami.
Si vous êtes intéressé par ce Mamiya, merci de me contacter soit sur Twitter, soit en message privé sur Facebook. (je lis rarement mes mails Flickr).
UK : Please meet Mr Mamiya M645 1000s with its good friend fellow Mr Zeiss 80mm 2.8 Jena Biometar. This is the wonderful camera with which I took the previous photos in my stream.
Believe it or not but I'm selling it for... wait for it... another Mamiya (I love Mamiyas)... Just a younger brother in which I'll be able to remove & switch backs... I'm a bit sad to sell it (emotionally attached to it, my first film MF) but I'm definitely not rich enough to keep all of them. (The D800 is on its way). So someone will be definitely lucky enough to own you buddy.
Press "F" if you like it ;-)
Your kind support on my Facebook Page is much appreciated.
Feel free to ask me anything and stay in touch thru Twitter!

DIY Lens mount conversion, results (see below for "how to")
Here is the completed Minolta 58mm f/1.2 modification mounted on my Sony Alpha DSLR. Originally the lens is for the Minolta MC mount, which can not adapted to the Minolta AF mount "passively", i.e. any adapter would need to have optical elements to maintain infinity focus (at the expense of image quality). I managed to replace the mount on the lens itself by substituting an M42 to Minolta AF adapter for the original mount. After readjusting focus on the lens, it now aligns perfectly with the original distance scale, all the way to infinity.
While I did this for the Sony/Minolta AF system, the guide to the modification (see below) applies to any current DSLR system for which you can get a suitable adapter, e.g. an M42 to Canon EOS or a glassless M42 Nikon adapter can be used.
The lens was chosen because there is no f/1.2 lens available for the Minolta AF mount and most other f/1.2 lenses available tend to be either extremely expensive, hard to find, and/or far inferior (e.g., the Tomioka 50mm f/1.2 for M42 is not very good in my opinion). This lens, on the other hand, cost me about €100 and has bokeh worthy of legends. It is not the sharpest of lenses wide open (still, quite decent), but it has very pleasant image characteristics and is a lot of fun to use.
I recently updated this modification by installing a microchip which identifies itself as a 60mm f/1.1 lens (closest setting available at the moment). The chip was kindly provided by James Lao, who makes custom chips and M42 to Minolta AF adapters. If you use an electric adapter for the mount, the exact same guide can be used, or you can later install the microchip on the adapter (as I did).
With electronics the focus confirmation and in-camera anti-shake both work with this beast. (Focus confirmation doesn't depend on reported focal length, and for anti-shake the slight difference doesn't really matter that much.) The in-camera anti-shake of Sony DSLRs makes this a low-light photography marvel.
See the pictures beginning from here for my complete writeup on doing the modification. This method can also be applied to some other lenses, and certainly for converting to camera mounts other than Minolta AF.
I finally got a 55mm f1.2 lens for my A-1 film camera. I'm looking forward to see what bokeh-lishious things I can do with it. it's old, It's big, it's heavy, it's beautiful :)
Taken with my Sigma DP3 Merrill.
Before I bang up the camera any more, I needed a gratuitous beauty shot of my 645Z rig. Several of these classic lenses are from the '80's and '90's and a few newer ones too.
Shot with the DA55mm on the K3II.
OK, back to some landscape photos...
I saw this man sheltering from a bitter wind in a telephone box, several days after Christmas. He may have been homeless - I'm not quite sure - and I wondered how he had spent the "festive" period.

These are proving to be a dream combination, definitely my go to lens and camera.

TELECOM company KC has been painting the town purple to celebrate Hull's vibrant nightlife. A trademark cream phone box in Paragon Street has swapped its normal shade for a rich mauve to raise awareness of the city's Purple Flag status.
The national award, backed by police, the council and Hull Bid, recognises it as a safe and welcoming place to visit.

time to change.. the buddy icon :P
well, I also should dye my hair 'cause I look blond for an half and dark for the other half actually, but never mind -.-"
hooray for batroom mirror's shots u.u
tempo di cambiare.. la buddy icon :P
vabbè, mi dovessi anche fare una tintura, che sono mezza bionda e mezza bruna, ma pazienza -.-"
ah, e poi sì, mi faccio le foto allo specchio nel gabinetto, perchè le gabinette si autoritraggono nel gabinetto (non fa una piega, no? u.u)

I have decided to participate in a 52 week challenge rather than a 365 this year. A 365 is too much pressure at this time and a 52 week challenge still gets me shooting. If any of you are on facebook and are interested in this one or just want to do it here then why not check it out. 52 week challenge
