SHOT WITH - Nikon D7000, 50mm f/1.2 MF

Studio shots of a Fuji GA645Wi medium format film camera.

The GX85 (with the 12-32mm), smaller than the GX8 (with the 45-175mm), that is. :)

Mi primera cámara, y todavia la tengo! Para mi un recuerdo de familia, porque fue mi padre el que me inició en el mundo de la fotografía, y fue con él que fuimos al negocio para comprarme esta Pentax K1000, regalo para mi!!! La usé un montón y siempre que la veo, tengo que pensar en el dia en que fuimos con mi padre a comprarla!!!

My first camera, and I still have it! A family remembrance, because it was my father who introduced me in the world of the photography. It was a great day, when we went to the shop to buy this camera , a present for me!! I have used it very much, and always when I see it, I have to remember that day!!!

Thanks to Kim Klassen for the beautiful texture!

People seem to have much passion for scarce things than things with large quantity. The reason behind is very obvious. Scarce things are more precious and valuable. Leica has introduced many high quality lenses of little productions, which have attracted a lot of collectors. Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 aspherical produced during 1989-1994 is one of the excellent representatives. As the production processes were very hard and complex, it had only a limited production of 2000 items. In spite of the bigger size, its optical design and the sharpness of photos are much more excellent than early Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4. Thus, it has been chased after by many collectors.

Leica has always been having a strict requirement on the optical design of lens. Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 aspherical consists of construction of 9 elements in 5 groups with unique feature of two front and back concave outer surfaces. The lens contains two hand-polished aspherical surfaces. They are of the same polishing method used in Noctilux 50mm f/1.2 in year 1966. Noctilux 50mm f/1.2 is the first lens in the world produced with aspherical surfaces to improve the aberration problem of non-aspherical surfaces. However, the hand polishing method is very time consuming and difficult. It cannot guarantee success. Leica experienced a lot of failures without giving up. After a long period of six years, these 2000 excellent pieces were finally issued. Leica’s spirit makes this scarce lens more valuable.

人們為何對數量多的東西沒有太大的熱情，卻爭先追趕數量稀少的東西呢？這不就是因為稀少的東西來得更珍貴，來得更有價值。徠卡 (Leica) 生產了很多高質素，而出產量又十分少的鏡頭，吸引了很多收藏家的目光。在1989-1994年期間生產的Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 aspherical (雙非)是其中的表表者。由於製作工序繁複，只限量生產了2000支便停產了。除外型較大外，無論是光學設計，還是相片的銳利度，都比前期的Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4出色，得到很多收藏家的青睞。

Leica一向對光學設計很講究，Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 aspherical (雙非) 使用9片5組的鏡片，擁有前後兩個凹陷的表面鏡片，在當時是獨有的特徵。這支鏡頭包含兩片人工手磨的非球面鏡片，它們的打磨技術與1966年Noctilux 50mm f/1.2的非球面鏡片的打磨技術相似，Noctilux 50mm f/1.2是全世界首支使用非球面鏡片技術製造的鏡頭，改善了球面鏡片的像差問題。可是人工手磨非常耗時，製作難度高，不能百份百確保手磨的成品理想，經過多番失敗後，以長達6年的時間才成功完成這2000支優秀的鏡頭。Leica不斷嘗試，永不言敗的精神，更加增添了這支產量稀少的鏡頭的收藏價值。

Prominent II is one of the best mechanically and optically design Rangefinder with interchangable lens system camera, the first of this type and has a unique appearance.

It was made by Voigtlander for the competition with Leicas and Contaxes.

It had a very special and unique reflex-housing part and turnit finder as accessories,

Voigtländer is one of the the world's oldest companies for optical instruments. Founded by Johann Christoph Voigtländer in the year 1756 in Vienna (Austria), it was the first factory for optical instruments and precision mechanics there.

1931 Voigtländer entered the mass market with the BESSA camera for 6x9 format.

1939 the VITO, their first camera for 35mm film, was well received by the customers.

1970 Voigtländer was merged with Zeiss-Ikon.

1974 Voigtländer became part of Rollei .

Since 1987 Ricoh and Chinon make cameras for Voigtländer.

In 1994 the last part of the original Voigtländer company in Braunschweig was closed.

In 1995 Ringfoto bought Plusfoto and the Voigtländer brand.

In 1999 the popular 35mm viewfinder camera body Bessa L was introduced, developed and produced by Cosina

During the 20th century the Skopar and Color Skopar lenses became the standard lenses for Voigtländer's own cameras.

I returned this to Best Buy and got my full refund. It does NOT do 60 FPS anymore like the previous models and does NOT record in .AVI format. It records in .MOV and that can NOT be used in Windows Movie Maker without converting the files. Time consuming and this camera is completely useless to me.... Damn shame, I use to love Canon, not anymore...

I work on an ambulance and got this page today... We picked up our patient at one hospital and took them to a one that specialized in psychiatric issues... (btw I do this alot)... it was the first time I was fore warned my patient was a tool lmao! I had to sneak to get a pic of this....

another possibility for the macromonday theme for this week, which is inside electronics. this circuit board was from a device that strengthened sound, which didn't work all that well, so taking it apart to photograph its innards was not a bad idea.

First Explored, February 16, 2014. Thanks! :)

First attempt at focus stacking, with 28 images taken with different focus. There are some artifacts from the process, but I am pleased with the results. I ended up only using one frame for the background. You can see the actual depth of field at the left side of the photo.

This is the Nikon FE with a Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 lens. The camera was manufactured by Nikon from 1978 to 1983, and was available new from dealer stock until circa 1984.

My wife was given this a couple of weeks back, unfortunately the shutter has jammed after years of disuse. All the electronics are working though.
