Another sunrise at Blues Point in Sydney, but this time with a Leica M9 using a 35mm Summicron.
I find the M9 sensor picks up quite different tones when compared to my usual Canon 1DS MKIII. Its more difficult to do the long exposure trickery with the Leica, but I like this filmy effect.

Agfa Sensor Cameras
Agfa Silette LK Sensor
Agfa Optima 200 Sensor
Agfa Optima 500 Sensor
Agfa Selectronic Sensor
Agfa Selectronic S Sensor
Agfa started that series in the early 1970ies, the new identifier of all models was the red-orange dot as shutter button, a feature Agfa used successfully for all following cameras. The name "Sensor" refers to that shutter button, the new design should guarantee a very soft and shake-free release.
All models share basically the same body, which includes another characteristic feature: with the film advance lever at the bottom also the exposed film has to be rewound. Furthermore the exposed frames have an extra container in the film chamber, so they are protected when the door is opened accidentally.
Other shared characteristics are a manual focus lens with the minimum focus distance of 1 m, an f-stop range from f/2.8 to f/22 and the lack of a filter thread. All models have an exposure meter, a bright frame viewfinder with parallax marks, a cable release thread (due to the red button it's on the back), a hot shoe, a tripod bush and a frame counter at the bottom, which has to be reset manually.
In the mid 70ies these cameras were replaced by the very compact Optima Sensor Electronic models, which kept some features like the peculiar rewind mechanism.
The models in detail:
The Silette LK is clearly the budget model, fully manual and fully mechanical (no battery required), 3-element 2.8/45 Color-Agnar lens in Parator shutter, unlike the other models the lens barrel is plastic made. Shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/300 s and B, coupled exposure meter with Selenium cell whose needle is visible in the viewer and on top, ISO range from 25 to 400.
Optima 200: 3-element 2.8/42 Color-Apotar lens in Paratic shutter, zone focusing. Like all previous Agfa Optima cameras the Optima 200 has a programmed automatic exposure, in the viewfinder a red/green signal displays sufficient light. Shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/200 s. A Selenium cell is used, so the camera also doesn't require a battery, ISO range (of the variant here) 25 to 160. If a flash is mounted in the hot shoe, the camera uses 1/30 s and switches into flash-matic mode, guide number (m) from 11 to 27.
Optima 500: like the Optima 200, but with a CdS-cell for the exposure meter instead of a Selenium cell, so a 625 PX battery is required. ISO range from 25 to 400, shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/500 s. Furthermore the shutter features a B-setting with the full f-stop range. Afaik the Optima 500 was the only model which was available in black and silver.
Selectronic: 3-element 2.8/45 Color-Apotar lens in Paratronic shutter. Aperture priority automatic exposure mode, the f-stop ring has no click-stops. Both F-stop and shutter speed (1/500 to 1/30 s, symbol for slower speeds) are displayed in the viewfinder. Slowest shutter speed up to 15 s. CdS-cell (behind the right one of the two eyes), two 625 PX batteries are required, ISO range from 25 to 400. Behind the left eye is a light bulb, it is lit when the shutter is open, it also indicates full batteries when the test button is pressed.
Self-timer, no B-setting, no flash-matic mode.
Price about DM 350,-
Selectronic S, the top model. Like the Selectronic, but with 4-element 2.8/45 Color-Solinar lens and rangefinder.
Price about DM 450,-

An important thing to remember is that even though pixel sizes keep getting smaller and smaller, the technology is advancing, so the smaller pixels are more efficient at collecting light. For instance, the Sony A7rII is back-illuminated which allows more photons to hit the sensor. Semiconductor technology is always advancing, so the brilliant engineers are always improving the signal/noise ratio. Far higher pixel counts, as well as better dynamic ranger, are thus not only possible, but the future!

View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey

Nikon D800 Photos of Pretty Blonde Swimsuit Bikini Model Goddess in a Malibu Sea Cave!
She was tall, thin, fit, and beautiful with long, wavy blonde hair, fair skin, and pretty blue eyes!
Here is some awesome video I shot at the same time as the stills with the Sony NEX 6 camera with the 1.8 50mm prime lens bracketed to my Nikon D800:
The rich creamy Bokeh off the 1.8 50 mm Sony prime lens on the crop sensor is amazing! Combine the shallow-depth-of-field with Sony NEX-6 latest face-tracking auto focus, and you can see how the moving video keeps the model's pretty blue eyes in focus, while blurring the background! I shot at wide-open 1.8 all day long! :)
We were shooting the black Gold'N'Virtue Gold 45 Revolver bikinis and the warm 45surf hoodies! It's nice to have the hoody to model on cloudy days! She was taking it off and putting it on, depending on the wind.

And now for something completely different - a very compact plastic camera with an oversized finder and semi-wide-angle lens, ideal for street shooting. The finder has a magnification of about 0.80x (slightly larger than the Leica M6 which had 0.85x) and has a brightline incorporated (Albada type, i.e. self-illuminating, with the frameline on the inner surface of the eyepiece lens). Exposure is fully automatic (using No. 625 batteries) and programmed. Zone focusing with click stops for 3 positions, and there's still a proper distance scale as well.
The lens is a 4-element air-spaced type like the Goerz Dogmar of 100 years ago (which has been used more often during the 80's and 90's because of the better correction that can be obtained when elements don't have to be cemented, as in the Tessar design, where the two rear elements are cemented).
The compactness of the camera (105mm wide, 69mm high, 55mm deep) has been achieved by placing the finder over the take-up spool, as in the legendary Rollei 35. Unlike that camera however, which had a very awkward lever wind on the left (right above the finder) this camera has a convenient lever on the right hand side (the Rollei 35 was of course more compact - 97x60mmx32mm though more awkward). The release is the red flexible plastic dome on top of the winder, which they called a "sensor" (and not the black knob near it, which is just the rewind selector).
CCD Sesnor - it is definitely different rendering to CMOS. I really do like this sensor and camera. It's the last CCD nikon sensor made in 2009 10 mpxls. Cost used $120 AUD ($80 USD)
Today i took the opportunity to use a Sony NEX-7 [Crop-Sensor] with a Sony-Zeiss Full-Frame 35mm 1.4f lens.
I have recently read that using a full-frame lens with a crop sensor may not produce better results than using a lens designed from a crop-sensor camera and in fact the images will be less sharp.
When starting out, many photographers choose to go with a crop body and invest in full frame lenses. This is usually recommended as a good approach as you can keep your lenses and swap out your body for something newer down the road, eventually leading to that high quality full frame sensor that you always wanted. However some experts, especially Tony Northrup, claim that starting out with the full frame lens and crop bodies does not provide you with the sharp images.
In my case I had a top end full frame camera [Canon 1DSIII] with a set of very expensive glass and I was not at all happy as the combination was way too heavy and totally unsuitable for street photography. About five years ago I decided that I needed a better solution and after using a Sony NEX-5 for about a year I decided to purchase a NEX-7 and switch from DSLR to Mirrorless [at the time that was a big gamble]. In theory it would be possible to use my Canon lenses with the NEX-7 but in reality it was not a workable solution. The NEX-7 featured a crop-sensor so I purchased a set of suitable Sony lenses and they were not expensive.
My reason for getting the NEX-7 and associated lenses was greatly reduced weight coupled with the fact that my equipment did not attract unwelcome attention.
The NEX-7 performed way beyond my expectations and I was really pleased and then towards the end of last year because the camera was giving problems at random I threw all logic out the window and took an ever bigger gamble by purchasing a Sony A7RMkII full frame mirrorless camera which is larger and heavier than the NEX-7.
To be honest, there is no comparison between the two cameras, the A7R is very much superior and while it is heavier it is actually easier to use. Also the Canon lenses actually work with the A7R but using the necessary adaptor was a pain and added weight. However the Canon lenses showed what the A7RMkII could do so I decided that maybe I should consider getting some native Sony FE prime lenses and then I discovered that they all were expensive and heavy [ unless I got manual focus lens such as the Loxia ]. Anyway I ended up with a set of primes [and no cash] but I now have serious weight issue especially when I travel.
I was planning to use the NEX-7 as a backup or when I travel but the crop-lenses are not very good so it would make no sense to leave my full-frame lenses behind so a possible solution would to bring along one of the FE primes [35mm 1.4f] but then I came across discussions online claiming that FE lenses underperform when used with a crop-sensor. Of course there is another issue in that the NEX-7 is at the end of its life and needs to be replaced by something like the A6300 but as I already said I have no spare cash.
Olympus E-500 ( KODAK CCD sensor ) + Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50mm f/2.0 Macro
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
I briefly owned a Nikon D7000 but found large spots appearing on my images. I discovered that oil was being flicked on to the sensor when the shutter fired.
A small number of D7000 users have had similar problems and have lengthy sagas to relate about the trouble getting the problem fixed.
The problem is disbelief at Nikon service centres and equal disbelief (often delivered in an ill-mannered fashion) by Nikon fans online. Nothing is perfect and a few misbehaving D7000s may not turn out to be a big issue, but the way the owners of these cameras are treated most certainly is. It is ungracious for them to be accused of negligent use, allegedly resulting in dust contamination, when they are innocent victims.
I thought that this pair of images might better illustrate the difference between dust on a sensor and oil spots. The images were taken at similar apertures, f8 at the top and f6.3 at the bottom.
The top image was taken with a Pentax K10. It was about three years old when the shot was taken and had 40,000 shutter actuations, numerous lens changes and considerable mucky field use. The sensor has never been wet-cleaned (actually never cleaned at all except the occasional puff of air). A few small dark spots can be seen (two are arrowed) and smaller ones do show at higher apertures. They appear anywhere on the image.
The bottom image was taken by a four week old Nikon D7000 which had about 800 shutter actuations. The camera had the same lens attached over the four week period so absolutely zero lens changes. The spots are larger, rounded and predominantly appear at the bottom right (i.e. there's a bias to where they appear, not randomly like dust). I have arrowed a few but you may well see some others that form a stream of splashes running diagonally up and right. A real challenge to 'Photoshop' out due to their size. Also, bear in mind that the image was taken at f6.3 so avoiding high apertures is not going to work. Yet this hardly credible suggestion has been posted in the forums. What is the point of having aperture rings on lenses if we're told to not go beyond f5.6 or something?
I am aware that the bottom image may appear dim on some monitors (I edited the image on a Mac with a bright screen) but hopefully the spots will show up. Click on it to get a view against a dark background.
Copying this image? Please do and show to anyone you like, especially service technicians. They keep saying that haven't seen this before...repeatedly.
I hope this settles the argument but I am not counting on it (actually, by spring 2012 it seems that the problem is now widely acknowleged; it seems only Nikon has never openly written about it). Intelligent feedback welcome; unhelpful remarks may be deleted.

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
