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.

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.

What a beauty of camera to end the Canonet saga and I think the rangefinder production by Canon. Last incarnation of the Canonet. 28 but sustantially different. Full auto exposure, but viewfinder info all the same. This was the first ever Canon to sport a pop-up flash.
However, the main selling point was the date function, something reserved for much more expensive cameras. By this time, however, the rangefinder game was over as the first autofocus models were already on the market.
From 1965, one of the last TLR cameras made by Minolta.
It features a CDS uncoupled meter, giving to the camera an unique appearance amongst TLRs.
There were 3 versions of this camera, CDS, CDS II and CDS III, being the only difference the option for different film sizes. CDS (as seen in this picture) uses 120 film while CDS II and III can use both, 120 and the now discontinued 220 film. All of them feature the iconic Rokkor 75mm f/3.5 lens.

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! :-)
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 was the chosen SLR that took over from my worn-out Petri - a Minolta SRT101 with 58mm f 1.4 lens - quite an upgrade in speed and a much longer focal length . I used to find when attending events where other photographers were present that I had to stand further back with this lens! It had through the lens metering which was the 'in' thing in 1971 - again the only electric function was the metering - otherwise manually operated. No problems with battery life in those days! The fast lens was pretty useful when chasing trains in low light. I also splashed out for a telephoto lens -a 135mm f2.8 which was used only occasionally for Buses , more often for Railway shots - and scenic of course.
I continued to use Agfa CT18 ,then the updated Agfa 64 speed version during the life of the Minolta.
The camera was given to my Nephew in 1982 when I changed to an Olympus OM1 for a few years trying to match my friends Olympus with a much better lens - it seems this was too expensive to produce and my version was minus one element and never matched up to my friends! In order to compare I decided to go to Zeiss lenses and really splash out on a Contax 139 in 1985. I never regretted this and now use the last generation of Contax film camera - an Aria model purchased in 2004.
Mind you I am considering getting a Digital compact - BUT will not give up my Zeiss lenses and will use both alongside each other for as long as Velvia film is made.
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.
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
Where I've started making my living; the business office of the Beechcraft King Air C90B, a twin-turboprop cabin-class airplane, it travels at about 275 mph, weighs up to 10,100 lbs. at takeoff. No co-pilot is required and none are employed where I work. It's all "single-pilot IFR", some of the most demanding flying work there is, especially given the nature of the job as an on-demand air ambulance service, and the remote locations served. The airplane is valued at no less than $2 million, I'm guessing.
The exterior of this airplane is seen several images back, on the ramp at Flagstaff, AZ.
