1961 Minolta Autocord with Optiper-MVL (Citizen) shutter
It just came back from being serviced by Karl Bryan. The custom red leatherette looks gorgeous on the camera.
Their new tables have drawn the grandkids through a portal that leads to other dimensions. It made for a silent part of a Christmas evening.
As a kid, I basically destroyed one of this baby that belonged to my father (what can you expect from unruly children ;-p). I never actually saw my father that I can remember (he died when I was a year old), but we have a picture of him standing with this Voigtlander Bessamatic on his shoulder. I not only destroyed the camera, I also lost it somehow. Anyway, I have seen that picture of my father recently and spoke to my brother who confirmed that it was a Voigtlander Bessamatic, so I started to look for one. Thank God for Ebay, I came across this baby ... I had to get it (don't know still it will work, but I am taking pic with it). Even if it doesn't work, I plan to keep it this time. This camera was out from 1958-1962 made in West Germany (well, they didn't unit then as you know ;p)
oh yeah, just in case you are wondering why it looks grainy? Well, I didn't want to use any flash or other lighting, just my kitchen light and ISO 3200 :-p ...

It's fast, it's slick, it rocks.
This thing is fast, though it took about 3 reboots for all teh snappy to emerge, it's built really well, much better than my iBook was (no creaks), the display is huge, gorgeous and bright, the keyboard is taking me a while to get used to (Thank the iGods that Apple make it easy to disable the caps lock key or this entire thing would be shouted), it's warm but *not* hot (I got the 5200rpm HD for this reason alone), Magsafe is just about sensitive enough to avoid catastrophe, but magnetic enough to not come out when you don't want it to, the built in iSight doesn't seem to be at the optimum angle for me while I'm sitting on the sofa, though it improves if I pop the computer on a desk.
Rosetta is fast, quick and transparent (I have a tv usb stick and the app it uses isn't a universal binary, yet it runs perfectly without sucking down CPU), although iPhoto is currently choking on my library so I'm calling AppleCare tomorrow to sort that out.
All in all, I'm a very happy consumerist bunny.

Mated with Canon 35mm f/1.8 LTM in original black finish. This is one tough cookie to track down.

Still resting my knee, so another grab shot, although I rather like this one! Bonus points for anyone who can tell me what device we're looking at...

Kodak Medalist II, free to compare, Leica 6x9 ! ! I was able to adapt to the 120, a very difficult and complicated process, better use nail clippers to trim spool, and shoot.

Well guess what I picked up today, another camera... And with that I am as broke as ever, its not even that expensive of a camera, in fact I got it for a pretty good price, I wouldn't have bought it if that wasn't the case, I just have very little money. So I picked up a Fuji GS645 today! Now I have two first generation Fuji rangefinders and I love them. I love my GW690 but man is that thing huge and as heavy as a brick, in comparison this this GS645 is tiny and light for a medium format camera. Plus got to love the fact that it folds down making it super portable. The person I bought it from told me that the bellows has been replaced, and the hinges on the folder mechanism has been repaired as well pretty recently. Those were to common issues with this camera, especially the bellows, the original bellows was apparently terrible and very few of them survived, most of them rotted to some degree which meant a lot of them had light seal issues thankfully this one seems pretty light tight. The best part about this is the fact that the GS645 does have a light meter built in, unlike my GW690. Hopefully I'll be able to test it out soon.
So since I picked this camera up late a night by the time I got home I decided to do a very quick photo of it with my GW690. This shot is actually a 7 photo flash composite, I didn't really want to or have the time to set up anything for this shot so I just grabbed my speedlight with a LumiQuest LTp softbox and just walking around this little set firing off the camera and flash. I put the photos together in Photoshop set the layers to lighten did a bit of layer masking and that was about the bulk of post work.

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.
i just got this in the mail from my uncle (who isn't actually related to me but we're okay with that). he also sent lots of ilford 150 film and a 25 ISO 35mm film.
BEST DAY EVER
tirei essa com a câmera da carol maia enquanto ela fuçava na minha. achei muito doida! postarei mais fotos em breve!
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.
