Lo primero que llama la atención de esta cámara es el aspecto tan peculiar e impresionante que le da la célula circular del exposímetro que presenta en su frontal y que hizo que se la conociese dentro del mundillo fotográfico como “la cíclope”.
Es una cámara réflex de apariencia recia, cuyo peso superaba los 1,2 kg y que se diseñó con unas especificaciones técnicas destinadas fundamentalmente a cubrir las expectativas de un nicho de mercado muy concreto, que no era otro que el del sector profesional y de los aficionados avanzados, no obstante, su coincidencia temporal con la presentación del sistema F de la japonesa Nikon, la relegó a un segundo plano.
En cualquier caso, era una cámara de gran calidad y magníficas prestaciones entre las que destacaba, precisamente, el ser la primera réflex de 35 mm con un exposímetro acoplado directamente al obturador y que, al mismo tiempo, accionaba el diafragma, mostrando una simulación de su apertura en una ventana sobre la célula.
El obturador era un plano-focal de tela que daba rangos de velocidad entre 1 segundo y 1/1000 s. Contaba con mecanismo de retardo y su visor era especialmente brillante. La medición telemétrica se mostraba mediante la visión partida de la imagen a fotografiar y que se debía hacer coincidir para que el enfoque fuera el correcto.
En catálogo se ofrecía una amplia gama de accesorios, entre los que se incluían respaldos intercambiables y, por supuesto, el excelente y amplio repertorio de objetivos Zeiss. La mostrada equipa un Distagon de 35mm f/4 que fue especialmente diseñado para esta cámara y que constaba de 7 elementos en 4 grupos. Al parecer, en aras de darle a la cámara una mayor compactibilidad, prefirieron sacrificar luminosidad y velocidad de obturación, de ahí la modesta apertura que presenta su óptica.
La Contarex Bullseye es considerada como la última gran cámara de la firma Zeiss-Ikon, por ello, recomiendo echar un vistazo a las predecesoras a las que la Zeiss fue incorporando progresivamente un know-How y una tecnología que posicionó sus cámaras en un lugar preeminete de la industria fotográfica, me estoy refiriendo a cámaras como la pionera de la firma en el campo del 35mm o Contax I , también a las Contax II y Contax III con cuyas innovaciones pudo por fin y de manera notable hacer frente al imperio Leica.
Ya en el campo de las cámaras réflex, no cabe duda que merece ser conocida la que fuera la primera cámara del mundo en integrar un pentaprisma fijo que si bien fue fabricada por la empresa escindida tras la división alemana, la tecnología era Zeiss, me refiero a la Contax S .
A little TLR TLC.
Decided to show a little loving to a couple of recently purchased medium format TLR cameras. Gave them a little cleaning and dusting and then a little family portrait to commemorate the event.
Captured using a Sony Alpha 6000 (ILCE-6000) camera with Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 80/2.8 lens mounted on a Fotodiox NEX-M42 adapter.
The IIIg was the last of the screw-mount Leicas. It was manufactured until 1960 in parallel to the much more expensive, and of course more modern bayonet-equipped M3 that many people see as the best Leica ever.
This particular body was manufactured in 1958. It has significantly more bulk than my pre-war IIIa, but the changes in handling are, at best, incremental. The larger finder is useful, and so are the parallax-corrected frames, but to me, the camera feels less "just right" than the 2 decades older model. But that is just my personal feeling.
Yes, of course she's complicated to use. Her design was obsolete even when she was new, But her build quality is beyond doubt and also, almost, beyond belief. Just go for a waltz with one of these ladies and you'll see what I mean.
That's just talking about the body. The lens ...quite frankly, I could never quite warm for the collapsibles. There is something missing there. The feeling of absolute, unflagging solidity. One thing is for sure, the glass is very easily scratched. Watch out for that if you consider buying an old Summicron. Always do the old flashlight test.

Took a quick shot of Meg's music homework as my just in case - and everything I shot after that was really, really bad. Oh well.

I'm used to a strange allotment of worth in my life. My truck barely worth the gas I put in it always has crazy expensive bikes and kites and skiing gear in it. But my work desk is normally pretty standard. I've got a few shiny Apple products for work and play, but recently I added a new desk ornament, which again throws off the value perceptions.
This is the result of many many many a long and stressful night spent on my Senior Design project at the University of Colorado. Basically, it is a just crazy fancy camera. I was tasked with building it up from scratch, starting with the sensor. That baby is a $5000, 5 Megapixel sCMOS sensor. It costs so much because it is more sensitive than any sensor in our pretty DSLRs, and reads out about 10x cleaner images. Oh, also it happens to read out at 100 FRAMES/SECOND, at full 16 bit resolution (higher than our fancy cameras too. The thing spits out gigabytes/second of data! This was my first time designing any electronic systems, so was pretty stoked when it finally worked.
Now, I have a few of these boards and 3 or 4 sensors sitting in boxes in my garage. At one point they were rediculously expensive pieces of cutting edge technology, now they're just pretty pieces of silicon. Makes for a cool desk decoration though! Perfect mix of nerdiness and photography for me, always keeps me motivated when it catches my eye.
Here's our little engineering site/blog in case anyone is interested.

Well I got nothing for today so here was the easiest and quickest last minute photo idea I could think of today. I mean it was also a pretty quick shot too, I didn't spend nearly as much time as I normally do with things like this when I set it up. I just got everything roughly straight and called it a day cause I didn't have like an hour to make sure everything was nice and straight with this shot. Well actually I did but I like getting my shots up (on Facebook) around 10pm if I can. So yea this was a pretty quick shot. I just grabbed my RX1 and my rangefinders, got some film out of my old achieve and that was about it. I got to say that I really do tend to treat and use my film cameras more as "point and shoots" then anything, mainly because I like to use them for fun a lot more then anything, so I never really do any serious shoots or things like that with them these days. And because of this 365 I haven't had much of a chance to shoot much film cause you know part of the "rules" I set up for my 365 was that it has to be digital that way there is proof (even though that can be easily tampered) that my photos were shot on said days. Plus its a lot quicker, cheaper and more convenient for me to do this digitally anyway. Either way I plan on shoot film more regularly once I'm done this 365, just haven't had the time this year.

The Kiev camera - history
The Kiev 35mm interchangeable lens rangefinder film camera is one of the best known of Soviet era camera brands in the West and many are still used by photography enthusiasts around the world.
Seven years after the launch of the Leica 1 at the Leipzig Fair, Carl Zeiss announced the first Contax, a 35mm camera with a coupled rangefinder. 1932 also saw the launch of the Leica II featuring a rangefinder.
The Contax was larger, heavier and more expensive than the Leica, but great resolving power and high contrast of the 5cm Tessar, later 5cm Sonnar and majority of the different focal length objectives produced for the system in the 1930s and 40s found favour with many professionals. The camera was manufactured in Dresden with lenses produced at Jena.
At the end of WWII, the Soviet Red Army liberated the Dresden factory and trucked - under the war reparations scheme - the dies and machinery used to make the Zeiss camera to the Kiyev Zavod Arsenal in the Ukraine. By 1947, a modified Contax II camera was in production with a new name; Kiev-2. The same camera was also produced at Jena and called the Jena Contax II.

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)
