a full-featured K-mount camera that has shutter speeds from 16 sec - to 1/1000, A and M modes, compensation dial, and iso from 12 to 3200. A bargain when you find one.
Konica Big Mini, diese Kamera erschien 1990 auf dem Markt. Woher kommt der Name 'Big Mini'? Weil diese Kamera trotz der geringen Größe sehr gut ausgestattet ist und einige Funktionen bietet, die andere Kameras in dieser Preisklasse nicht haben. Hier die technischen Daten: das Objektiv ist ein Vierlinser mit eingebautem Skylightfilter, der automatisch gesteuerte Verschluß reicht von 3.6 - 1/500 Sek., somit kann man mit dieser Kamera auch stimmungsvolle Aufnahmen in der Dämmerung machen. Die automatische Scharfeinstellung erfolgt durch ein passives Infrarot-AF-System im Bereich von 0.35m bis unendlich. Die Filmempfindlichkeit wird durch DX-Codierung automatisch abgetastet im Bereich von ISO 25 - ISO 3200. Bei nicht DX-Codierten Filmen wird automatisch ISO 25 eingestellt, und das ist in meinen Augen etwas praxisfremd. Die meisten Kameras mit DX-Codierter Filmempfindlichkeitsabtastung stellen in diesem Fall auf ISO 100 ein, was wesentlich sinnvoller ist. Der eingebaute Selbstauslöser hat eine Vorlaufzeit von 10 Sek. Der eingebaute Blitz kann so eingestellt werden das er sich automatisch zuschaltet, man kann ihn aber auch manuell zuschalten, z.B. bei Portraits im Gegenlicht, die sogen. 'Fill-in' - Funktion. Bei Aufnahmen in der Dämmerung kann man den Blitz auch ausschalten, um die Atmosphäre nicht zu zerstören. Weiterhin bietet die Kamera die Möglichkeit die automatisch gewählte Blende auf plus/ minus 1.5 Blendenstufen zu korrigieren. Die Einstellmöglichkeiten werden übrigens auf einem kleinen LCD-Display auf der Rückseite der Kamera angezeigt. Zusätzlich kann man auch das Datum oder die Uhrzeit einbelichten in den Film. Zur Stromversorgung der Kamera wird eine 3V Lithium-Batterie des Typs CR123A oder DL123A benötigt. Durch die geringe Größe ist sie ideal geeignet als immer-dabei-Kamera. Man sollte sie aber in einer Tasche mit sich führen um die freiliegende Linse nicht zu zerkratzen. Schön wäre es gewesen wenn bei ausgeschalteter Kamera ein Schieber das Objektiv schützen würde.
So I did the common thing: bought me a Mark Hama fixed Yashica 124G to accompany the Richoh Diacord.
Daughter already called the Yashica Mat.
he Yashica has crank advance, not so much better than the dial turn of the Ricoh, but it does arm the shutter. On the Richoh, you have to remember if you've armed, and if you've taken the shot. OTH, you can take double exposures with the Richoh.
Other differences: Yashica has meter built in, and fewer blades for aperture. Richoh has a niftier way to set focus. But OTH I keep setting the timer when I mean to set the aperture on the Richoh. I'm not sure if there are any differences in the photos, will have to see once I have the same film in both.
Olympus E-p1 body

14-42mm f/3.5 to f/5.6 Olympus lens
Olympus VF-1 optical viewfinder
[Note: The VF-1 accessory viewfinder was originally designed for the 17mm f/2.8 Olympus lens. I have the 17mm but rarely use it because I have never been satisfied with its image quality. I find the VF-1 easy to use with my 14 and 20 primes. With the 14-42mm zoom, I find it easy to use with any focal length set between 14 and 25mm.]
I photographed this when I was buying the lens, while the 650D (not this unit though) followed suit five months later.
Too many exams, too many assignments. No time at all for creative photo-taking.
That all changes tomorrow after writing the final exam for the semester. Yay! Time to dust off the X100, format an SD card, and charge some batteries :)
Shot with 100mm f/2.8L IS USM. Crazy sharpness, colors and huge magnification (1:1, standard for macros).
The Leiger is a geiger counter, GPS logger, and dosimeter all wrapped up in one. It was designed and built by Rob, host of the SparkFun weekly product videos. It's always a good idea to keep an eye on radiation levels when traveling to Chernobyl.
I got this lens today.
It has quite good sharpness for zoom lens probably because of short range of zoom.
Center is already very good with wide open but edge never improved even at F/8.
The last photo I posted of the Kaypro 1, I expressed that I found it puzzling Kaypro ditched the "universal" motherboard that most of their computers used, in favor of adapting a new board from the Kaypro 10 model.
Well after some research it seems that as the CP/M market died, Kaypro wanted to reduce the number of cp/m machines they produced, which in 1985 consisted of the Kaypro 4, New 2, 2x, and Kaypro 10.
The 4/new2/2x all shared the same internals, minus some very minor differences in hardware (such as having or not having a real time clock, or internal modem). The Kaypro 10 used a different board than the other computers.
I guess the thinking for ditching the "universal" board for 10 style board with the Kaypro 1 was that the ten had sold well for Kaypro, and continued to sell well. While the sales of the floppy disk based systems (the 4 et al.) had fallen off considerably.
So in order to save costs, Kaypro ditched the universal board in favor of the 10 board, and created the 1.
This actually almost makes the "1" model name make sense because it's more in line with "10" and the "1" replaced several models, with just 1 model.
Some contemporary literature mentions Kaypro working on or released a Kaypro with one disk drive, that would list for $995. I think that these statements are probably all incorrect, and the people writing them probably were refering to the Kaypro 1. The Kaypro II was called the II because it had two drives- so industry writers may have mistakenly thought the Kaypro 1 would be released with only one disk drive, going by the name. Or other simple miscommunication between Kaypro and the press about the 1 could have lead to the exact same mistake.
Although the 1 had just been introduced for 1986 and took advantage of Kaypro 10 parts... Kaypro also announced in 1986 that production would be ceasing on the 10! They also stated the 1 would be dropped and the 2x would be brought back... despite the announcement apparently Kaypro realized how silly this would be, and the 2x was never brought back. The 1 became the sole cp/m offering from Kaypro in 1987, and production of all kaypro portables (including the MS-DOS 16 and 16/2) ceased later that year.

Lens test...on nikkor 105 f2.5 AI vs canon EF 85mm f1.8
Lens taken with the Nikkor 105mm f2.5 @ f2.5
A bit smaller than the standard 18-55 kit lens, the 45mm has a nice compact focus ring so feels even smaller in your hand. This is a surprisingly nice combo which handles really well. Im quite impressed with this lens, the IQ is good, its pretty sharp wide open and has decently smooth bokeh, its lovely and sharp when stopped down. Although only 5mm shorter than the MD 50mm F1.7, it does somehow feel a fair bit smaller, probably due to the slim focus ring.
They say "One man's trash is another man's treasure". Saw someone threw away this vintage thing and I simply couldn't resist myself from picking it up for my collection. Thankfully enough, this player's internal electronics are all good and kicking, but I couldn't verify if it still plays. Created a 9-exposure HDR and applied some mild PS layering stuff.
A look back at the buses and coaches that visited the Farnborough Airshow in July 2014.
Ahead of its appearance on the public days of the airshow, Maplin-liveried Volvo B7TL / Plaxton President non-psv W485WGH visited the Maplin store in Farnborough. The bus started life with London General as PVL85 in 2000.
One of the first photos taken with an OM Zuiko mounted on the E-5. 28mm f/2.8 opened up "because I could".
At the Caps game (Caps FTW!!) last night, someone kicked my phone from one step into my beer that was sitting on the step below. I didn't notice for a while. The beer drenched phone was very unhappy.
Since it's not working anyway (turns on, none of the buttons work), I figured I would perform some surgery to see if I could clear the circuit board of beer gunk. It's an old phone (like, really old), so no loss if it doesn't work. Was hoping to hold off on buying a new one, hoping against hope for a CDMA iPhone...
Update: I washed it with water first to clear the gunk, then cleaned the circuit board and the buttons (after removing it further from the housing) with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip and let it rest over night to dry. Now all the buttons work, but I can't get a signal at all. But hey, at least I can get all my contacts off the phone!
Just got myself a Yashica Electro 35 GSN Rangefinder camera. LSI is selling them for US$250, I got mine for around US$85 , it is clean and in perfect working condition. Cosmetically I'd rate it around 8/10 - same goes for the overall rating of the whole condition of the camera. I hope that I'll learn how to use it properly.
Ten years separate these products. The Eee was introduced in 2007, the 620LX in 1997 or 1998. The 620LX has a very nice keyboard that you can actually touchtype on. I've typed a few documents on it using Pocket Word. Instead of using a mouse, you use a stylus on the touchscreen. The stylus stores in the side of the 620LX. The Eee uses a customized version of Xandros, the 620LX uses Windows CE 2.0. The Eee has an SD/SDHC/MMC slot; the 620LX has a CF slot. I picked up a couple of the 620LXs from my office, which was going to throw them away. Can't let a totally functional piece of electronics get thrown out.

Miranda Sesorex is a system SLR camera with a wide interchangeability of both viewfinders and lenses. It is TTL progression from the Automex models in 1967.
There are seven almost-the-same but distinct versions of Sensorex.
There are two very peculiar features in Miranda: the interchangeable prism (the Nikon F was the only other camera at the time with this feature), and the front-mounted shutter release.
Low noise shutter and vibration-free mirror mechanism.
After removing the pentaprism, the camera is fully functional, can still meter and focus, especially handy for close-up work.
Sensorex was the flagship model at that time. Miranda was apparently the first Japanese SLR manufacturer, and for a time, Miranda used to compete with Nikon and Topcon for build quality and optics.
The Miranda was also sold as Soligor in Europe.
The Miranda Camera Company, originally named the Orion Camera Company, manufactured cameras in Japan between 1955 and 1978. Their first camera was the Miranda T. Unlike many Japanese made cameras, Miranda did not make their own lenses and had to rely on other manufacturers to supply them.
Many Miranda SLRs had advanced or sophisticated features for their day. Almost all Miranda SLR's shared the same basic lens mount, but the mount complexity increased over the years to accommodate more aperture and metering controls.
Unable to keep up with the increasing manufacturing automation of the larger manufacturers, and the increasingly sophisticated electronics of competing cameras, Miranda ceased producing cameras.

I had been looking for one of these for a while now, finally it crossed my path together with a Konica TC-X!
A small and simple camera for 3x4cm exposures on 127 film. Made by Ferrania in Italy, from 1959. Made of metal castings and some sheet pressings for the back - so feels quite heavy and solid. Two red windows - to use each film backing number twice for the "half-frame" size. Note the very small, portrait-format viewfinder (on what is quite a small camera to start with); the viewfinder eyepiece on the back is reeealllly tiny.
Two-speed (1/100, 1/50) + B flash-synchronised shutter; Acromatico 58mm f/7.7 focusing lens with a stop for f/12. There is a small red signal on the back showing when the film is advanced.
Looks a lot more delicate than the Ibis 44. See also rear view.
This one has an odd fault: the label around the lens is shifted around by about 10°, so the focus scale is a little off; presumably a manufacturing error. This is how it came; it could do with a little cleaning in the corners here and there.

Aus der Zeiss Ikon SL706 entwickelte Rollei die Voigtländer VSL 1. Sie ist eine heute noch bemerkenswerte Kamera.
Mit Original - Objektiven ist Offenblendmesseung möglich (Cds-System mittenbetont ).
Stromversorgung Knopfzelle 1,35 V. Bei Fremdobjektiven und anderen Geräten wird mit Arbeitsblende gemessen.
Das Standardobjektiv Color-Ultron, ist kein echtes Voigtländer Ultron , sondern ein Zeiss Planar. Es steht zwar Voigtländer drauf, aber Zeiss ist drin. Gefertigt wurde die Kamera in Singapur von Juni 1974 - Dez.1976.
Je nach Einsatz war bei den schwarzen Modellen die Lackierung an den Messingteilen oben und unten sehr schnell abgegriffen.So auch bei diesem Exemplar. Das hat aber keinen Einfluß auf die Funktionalität , ist eben nur optisch ein Mangel.
