On East Hastings Street with its hidden house in the back. This old storefront is notoriously difficult to photograph as there's usually a car parked right out front. On Saturday I lucked out with no car and the light was just fabulous too. Despite looking like it's from another era (there are dot matrix printer boxes in the window) the place is still going and has very good reviews!
Pour moi, la photographie est une affaire de « capteur ». Voici un « tabletop » de mes appareils photo. 2 numériques et 3 argentiques. Tous ont une taille de capteur différente. Micro quatre tiers, moyen format numérique, moyen format argentique et grand format. C’est un peu ce qui justifie que j’ai ces 5 caméras. En réalité, une sixième vient de rejoindre le groupe, mais elle n’est pas encore fonctionnelle. J’y reviendrai.
Donc, voici un tabletop ayant pour sujet mes appareils photo. La photographie a été prise avec un appareil de grand format 4x5, de marque Toyo. C’est un monorail que j’ai déjà affiché ici. C’était très difficile de faire cette photo en raison de la focale que j’utilisais, entre autres. J’ai donc dû utiliser des subterfuges comme « l’effet scheimpflug » pour obtenir le plus de profondeur de champ possible. J’ai utilisé deux « setups » d’éclairage. Un avec des fresnels au tungstène et l’autre avec des flashs. Finalement, celle-ci a été faite avec les flashs (4). Je dois dire que tout ça a occupé la ma journée presque en entier. Mais ce fut une partie de plaisir!
For me, photography is a matter of "sensor". Here is a "tabletop" of my cameras. 2 digital and 3 argentics. All have a different sensor size. Micro four thirds, digital medium format, medium and large format film format. It's justifies that I have 5 cameras. In reality, a sixth has joined the group, but it is not yet functional. I will get back on this soon. So here's a tabletop that take my cameras as subject. The photograph was taken with a large format 4x5 camera, Toyo brand. It is a monorail and I have displayed it here once. It was very difficult to make this picture because of the focal lenght that I have used. So I had to use subterfuge as "Scheimpflug effect" to obtain the most depth of field possible. I have used 2 setups of lighting. Fresnels with tungsten and the other with strobes. This one has been made with the flashes. (4) I must say that all this has occupied my day almost entirely. But it was a pleasure!

Night, totally dark space, 30 second exposure. Natural LED flashlight and lime-gelled strobe.
Far more interesting when viewed LARGE!

Here's some photos of the new Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. It's a great camera, despite that somewhat negative buzz that accompanied its anouncement. I've got a new video that highlights my "Picks and Pans" thus far with the 5D Mark IV that you can see here: bit.ly/2cKNl14 or see an image gallery with a lot of photos along with some 4K stills grabs here: bit.ly/2cwFmEX
Technical Information: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV + Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS, Processed in Adobe Lightroom CC, Photoshop CC, and Alien Skin Exposure X (use code "dustinabbott" to get 10% off)

Often dismissed as being too large to be practical outside the studio, the Fuji GX680 III (far right) when compared to other camera that feature movements is not all that much larger. The all metal Toyo 45a, a favorite field camera is only 3 pounds lighter, by the time you add a lens and four or five film holders, then it's a wash. The Arca is much lighter, but the ungainly view camera shape make it difficult to carry without breaking down the camera into it's components, making set-up time more laborious than the pretty much instantly ready Fuji.

The husband's latest toy. He got a nice little bonus at Christmas and decided he needed another camera. Now I see why. The Xpro1 is awesome!!! The bonus for me is I get his D700. :)
HCS because taking a photo in the mirror is so cliche.
The first line of the Praktica L models (L, LTL, LLC, VLC) looked the best in my opinion, as they carried many cosmetic details from the earlier series (nova, Super-TL, etc.). Some early copies had the "Pentacon Tower" logo etched reversely on the prism housing, the rewind lever base was striped to match the series of "zebra" Zeiss and Pentacon lenses that came with the camera, the shutter button was smaller than the later models and could be locked, the self-timer lever is more elegant than its successors.
My interest in L Prakticas was renewed lately, so I got this pristine and fully functional (incl. the meter) LTL with the full-metal "aus Jena" 2.8/50 Tessar lens from the german eBay site for very few euros to complete the DDR quartet (LTL, L2, VLC2, PLC3). The slow speeds and self-timer were a bit reluctant at first, but I worked them all back to fully functional status, confirming the good reputation of the vertical metal shutter that is the hallmark of all "L" Prakticas. Other than that, the usual dim viewfinder is present, as well as the awkwardly placed stop-down metering switch.
When ya got trouble, you better call in the experts to fix it.

The Pen series is a family of half-frame cameras made by Olympus from 1959 to the beginning of the 1980s, and from 2009. Aside from the Pen F series of half-frame SLRs, they are fixed-lens rangefinder cameras.
The first-generation Olympus Pen camera appeared in 1959. The design process began with the concept of creating a camera that could be sold for ¥6,000 yen..
It can take 72 pics while using a 24x36 film.

The lens manufacturing year / serial no. data are as to:
The Lens model features / typology are as to:
Non-AI lenses fit on the Nikon F, early F2, Nikkormat FT, FTN, FT2, EL and ELW, and the Nikkorex F. They can be used without meter coupling on the earliest AI camera bodies such as the FM and FE, but they must not be mounted on later ones such as the FM2, as it is possible to damage the camera body.
The F2 is the second member of the long line of Nikon F-series professional level 35 mm SLRs that began with the Nikon F (manufactured 1959–1974) and followed each other in a sort of dynastic succession as the top-of-the-line Nikon camera. The other members were the F3 (1980–2001), F4 (1988–1996), F5 (1996–2005) and F6 (2004–present).
The F-series do not share any major components.
All Nikon professional F-series SLRs are full system cameras. This means that each camera body serves as only a modular hub.
