After cleaning my iBook. :-)
Don't read them "りらひい な". ;p
(Yes, I'm still using my iBook as a jukebox. And I've been using a Powerbook for more than 4 years. I'd like to have new MacBook or MacBook Air!! )
“In a while, one of us will go up to bed
and the other one will follow.
Then we will slip below the surface of the night
into miles of water, drifting down and down
to the dark, soundless bottom
until the weight of dreams pulls us lower still.”
~ William Collins
In my effort to continue my 365 Project and to combat these ugly, rainy, cold days that get dark before I even get off work, I have to expand the types of photographs that I've been taking as well as the photo subjects. I took this board out of an old stock radio from my wife's previous car that we no longer own. It was just sitting out in the garage, so...why not?!?
Technical Information:
Camera - Nikon D5000
Lens – Nikkor 50mm Fixed
ISO – 160
Aperture – f/3.5
Exposure – 1/1250 sec
Focal Length – 50mm
Final adjustments were made with PS.

Just lined up the three beauties for a quick comparison of how they measure up in terms of size and length.
The 85's obviously the most compact of the lot, but the 180 is a nice, light, slim lens. That 135 is actually the heaviest of the lot.
Hopefully, I will be able to post a comparison of their optic qualities soon.
Note: shot with the AF-S 24mm f1.4 G, ambient lighting only.
Nikon F2 - the one analog camera that I didn't give away. It's a keeper, even though I won't turn back to film.
Strobist info: Black velvet underneath and behind.

My favorite compact, Olympus 35RC, all ready for action: small, light strap for hanging on shoulder, vented lens hood (uneccessary but fun) and wide angle finder (absolutely unecessary but fun).
I just can't say how nice it is to shoot with an RC -- I actually agree with Ken Rockwell that in many functional ways, this camera is better than a Leica.

A magic collection of old radios from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Well worth a visit. Just check when they are open before calling.

So I’ve been looking to buy a Rollei 35 camera for some time and my delay was due to my criteria. It had to be black and made in Germany. Recently I came across two cameras that met this and purchased them both for a decent price. This is the first. It is in cosmetically excellent condition but it does have some fungus in the rear elements.

Collaborative project Toy-kyo...
Happy Miniature Sunday!
That is the final enter for this mini-series on Toy-kyo. Our origami Robots are hurrying to give a helping robo-hand to miniature Tokyo.
Stay tuned for more toy-some tilt-shift fun in twin-mini-town of Toy-ronto! Bientot a l'ecran!

A note for Origami enthusiasts about Origami Robot
Folds from 29 sheets, no glue, this funny modular origami was created in far 1996. It's a fun model to fold, all you have to do is to comprehend folding of a cube-module, then fold several of them and combine them together into a robot - easy :-) Well, maybe not very easy, but very satisfying for sure! You may try your hands in ori-robotics - its diagrams are available for free in our Oriland On-line Studio. Happy robo-folding! :-)
Produced between 1956 and 1965 by Chicago based Imperial Camera Corp, Imperial Savoy was one of the first 6×6 cameras they produced under the Imperial name. It takes a 620 roll film, giving 12 6×6 exposures. 620 film is pretty much identical to 120 film with the exception that the spool it’s wound around has thinner ends, making the roll of film shorter.

Crazy Tuesday - Obsolete Electronics
A Pentax Spotmatic Selfie in a mirror.
I dug the camera out of storage. After searching the internet I found a substitute battery for the built-in light meter, available at the drug store – it seemed to operate. I bought a roll of B&W 35mm film.
The Ilford XP2 400 ASA film uses the C41 process, so it can be developed at any drug store that offers colour processing.
After over 40 years I loaded it to see what it could do. I used my original Super Takumar 55mm 1.8 lens.
It was like a visit with a long lost friend!
The exposure settings using the built-in light meter didn’t seem right, so I did some back up shots using an other camera and/or a light meter to set exposure.
I took it in for developing and scanning with great anticipation.
Only a hand full of shots using the alternative light meters turned out reasonably well.
I edited the heck out of this shot using modern photo editing software.
It is interesting to go back to thinking in Blank & White.
The lens is superb and will teach me a lot.
A bit frustrating, but I think I will go back for more

Technically, a twin to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC5, the Digilux 1 was introduced in 2002.
Equipped with a 1/1.76" CCD sensor with an effective resolution of 3.9 megapixels, it can shoot photographs in JPEG or TIFF format, but no raws.
The lens is rather good - though it probably is more Panasonic than Leica, moniker notwithstanding.
It has a fold-up sun-shade that is screwed into the tripod mount but I never use it because on mine it apparently distorts the plastic camera case and the battery then tends to lose contact.
The viewfinder is rather useless, you'll be using the screen for focusing and image composition.
The autofocus is as reliable (or unreliable) as that of modern compacts.
Actually, the Digilux 1 is quite a handful, The term "compact camera" is not really appropriate. It has a very plasticky feel to it, but mine, despite its 15 years of age, works fine (except for the problem when attaching the fold up screen shade).
If you asked my opinion on this camera, I'd say this:
The lens is running rings around the sensor, which is quite normal. Back in 2002, optical engineering was a mature field, while consumer digital imagery was not. So we have here a very good lens fixed to a not really very good sensor.
The issue is not resolution - 4 MP is quite enough for a compact camera. It's also not colour rendering - the sensor acquits itself of that task quite well. It's a CCD, and I always had a preference for those. No, the problem is noise, even at low ISO values.
The image was taken with a Canon EOS600D and a Leica Summicron-R 35 mm lens.
Well, we are both in high spirits! I found a great long stick of wood floating on the surface of the mire and managed to get it. We halved it and it makes a fine pair of staffs. Not to mention that there might be tree or something else that it came from! There are great bubbles and bumps on the liquid plain around us. Quane thought they were just bubbles, but then one of them hatched, and a silvery worm the length of my arm wriggled out. More forced their way from other eggs, but fortunately, they were not hostile. All of them began gliding over the surface of the Desolation, all in one direction, the same direction we were going. It's quite unnerving, but at least they seem harmless.
We are running low on food.
Yet another one, hurray!
Please tell me what you think. :D
The OM-series from Olympus are the SLRs that Leica should have produced. Smaller then a M series camera, refined, feature packed, the OM-2 was from the very start a remarkable camera. This the N version, all black, just beautiful, a black godess. Changes from the OM-2 are the TTL flash metering system, the reset button moved to the main switch and a lock to engage the "B" setting.

This lens conversion was a total giant bitch.
I was intending to do a write up on how I did it but I made so many mistakes that it woulda been a "what not to do" guide.
I essentially followed Georg P.'s guide: took off the old manual focus SR mount and mount spacer and subsituted the chipped M42=>α mount adapter, with holes i had to drill myself (mistakes there), and also countersunk holes (more mistakes) along with self created mount spacers (a few trial and errors). The spacers, shown above in blue, are actually 6 plastic disposable plates (bought from local loblaw grocery store for about 10 for $4). They were thin enough to cut in a customized shape (circles with a doughnut hole in the middle), hopefully durable as well. However, since there were so many layers, they didn't necessarily fit perfectly (wrinkles when compressed with the mount screws). Ohwell, it works for now (2 weeks later, no probs)
I think I read that it only takes about 45 minutes to convert. I wasn't racing, but it took me all night to. I misaligned the drill holes, I didn't know what sized drill bit to countersink the screws with and I misaligned the aperature ring link.
Thanks to Arkku, Georg P, and Mr. Hotwire for guidance and Canadian Tire and Home Depot for their precision screw drivers, table top drill presses and generous return policies.
This picture was actually made by my father. But I thought I'd post it to show off our Pentax kit.
I really love this old battleaxe. It's really a camera you can use in hand-to-hand combat. And it takes 'effing marvelous pictures if you point it in the right direction.
We also have a set of extension tubes which seemed to have dodged out of this group photo.
