Ive hung onto all my old cameras, why? No idea but hey still my little treasures!!
Our Daily Challenge ~ Trash or Treasure ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
It's a New Year's resolution of sorts (just not so resolute) to shoot some film. I've fixed a couple other old cameras, and this one needs some love. I got some B&W film, a development tank, and some monobath a couple months back...
1960 Zorki 4 with Jupiter-8 pose for some more Sunday morning camera porn. I just disassembled and cleaned/relubed the Jupiter which now focuses like buttuh.
1974 Sansui's TU/AU 5500 tuner amplifier set. Wonderful sounding in classic look.

Neat little camera!
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?!?

Lens – Nikkor 50mm Fixed
ISO – 160

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.

I have lots of different home-made plexiglass shapes but always seem to be drawn to the plain rectangular shape or the hoop. I have been taking a couple of small shapes out with me recently as they fit in with all my other gear but have not been inspired to paint with them as I find it takes a lot of concentration and time to create something I'm happy with. So drawing on inspiration from my LP friends, I set up my trusty circuit board and fixed the small "flame" plexi shape to a wheel attached to a tripod and using the Ryu's Lightworks V2 torch and my SonyA7iii mounted on a rotation gimbal, I rotated the flashing blade and capped between each of the 8 points of rotation using a Samyang 14mm lens. This had been preceded by a shot of the circuit board using a Minolta MD 50mm f1.7 with macro extension tubes, then lens capped and swapped mid-exposure for the Samyang. Chuffed at the 1 successful attempt. Packed up and a cup of tea.

A magic collection of old radios from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Well worth a visit. Just check when they are open before calling.
It's rebar time again! View this in the large size and use the scroll function on your mouse or keyboard to get a neat effect.
This is the 50mm f3.5 macro lens for the Mamiya NC1000 and NC1000s cameras. Quite a rare lens, though becuase it only fits 1 camera (well two very similar cameras to be precise) it is not in high demend, which means it isn't worth very much despite being rare. I only had to pay about 40 quid on eBay for this example.
It is a nice and compact little lens to match the compact dimensions of the NC1000 camera.

Ahoy! New Leicas around is always good news! :)
I've been shooting with my wonderful Summicron-R 50mm ver.2 for over a year now and I can say, that it is one hell of a lens, probably my favourite of them all. To be honest, it's the only genuine Leica lens I owned until now. But the magical blend of good sharpness (excellent when stopped down a bit), lovely bokeh and absolutely fabulous rendering makes this lens something special. The rendering is neither clinically modern razor sharp, nor too imperfectly vintage to be an all-arounder. The rendering is fantastic, and it's something, that I can proudly prove with some photos.
Never owning a Leica R camera, I sometimes used my Summicron with with Canon 5D for digital, but most of the time with the film Canon Elan 7. I began to notice, that this is pretty much the only lens I use with the film Canon, and its handling on an alien camera is far from perfect. There are no focusing aids in the autofocus film Canon camera.
Well, and now the Canon Elan 7 retires with honour, and the Leica R5 takes its place.
Together with the R5 I grabbed the Elmarit 90mm f/2.8 ver.1. That 90mm focal length might turn out to be a useful one for occasional portraits or for more distant street shots. Anyway, the Elmarit is yet to be trialled in work.
Now this powerful trio forms a ground for my small Leica R family.

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.

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! :-)

Camera & Lens for the photo: OLYMPUS DIGITAL OM-D E-M5 & M.Zuiko ED 75mm f/1.8 MSC
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.
