This week’s featured post is a look at a camera by a company that played a significant role in the early development of professional cameras.  Dan Cuny continues his streak of reviews for uncommon and immensely interesting cameras with the Eastman Kodak No. 0 Graphic, which was a compact fixed…

This week’s featured post is actually a featured video that is sure to invoke some EXTREME GAS! It’s no secret that 20 years ago, and again 5 years after that, Nikon re-released 2000 and 2005 Special editions of the Nikon S3 and Nikon SP rangefinders in extremely limited numbers. Prior…

This week’s featured post is both funny, but also an accurate review of the Canon AE-1, a camera that seems to cause two very different and very strong opinions depending on who you ask. I am in the group of those who think the AE-1 is a fine camera but…

The problem with doing these Recommended Reading posts every other week, is that if something good is posted shortly after my previous post, then it takes almost a whole two weeks before I get around to it, but I figure if it’s something I missed, then perhaps you missed it…

This week’s featured post is the second time I’ve highlighted something by Sroyon Mukherjee, this time a part 1 of a project showing a selection of strange pinhole camera creations.  Anyone with a box, a hole, and some film can make a pinhole camera, but simply making them out of…

This week’s featured post was an easy one to select.  Whenever one of my favorite cameras gets reviewed by one of my favorite bloggers, you’ll have my complete attention.  So when I saw that my friend Theo from photothinking.com dropped his review of the Topcon RE Super, I immediately started…

One of the most popular posts of the week comes from Hamish at 35mmc and falls under his own category of “Philosophy & Reflections” in which he realizes that with the steady increase in prices of film gear online, that even now in 2020, you still don’t need to spend…

It’s often very easy to select a featured review when it’s written by one of my favorite camera reviewers, Cheyenne Morrison, whose reviews are always incredibly well researched and interesting to read.  Not only does Cheyenne have a knack for digging into a camera’s history like I do, but unlike…

Today’s featured review is a camera that most everyone who might stumble upon my site likely already knows about, yet I’ve never reviewed.  The Canon A-1 was the “top dog” of Canon’s A-series with features such as full Programmed AE, plus Shutter and Aperture Priority AE, full manual control, and…

Someone asked me recently how I pick which articles to include in these Recommended Reading posts.  It’s a question I really never put much thought into with my only thought being that if I found it interesting, you might too. But then I actually looked at the articles I select,…

What if you were in the market for a Hasselblad XPan, but couldn’t afford a Hasselblad XPan, but had a broken Nikon FE, access to both a Sherline milling machine and a 3D printer, and a lot of free time?  What would do? Build your own Hasselblad XPan/Nikon FE Franken-Camera,…

This week’s featured post isn’t a post, but rather Episode 118 of the Classic Lenses Podcast.  This episode is devoted entirely to the fire that engulfed Central Camera in Chicago as a result of civil unrest surrounding the murder of George Floyd which has topped the headlines every day for…
