Does anybody know where I can get the Lensbaby in Leica S mount? [It works better if you just hold it in front of the opening. --Mike]

By the way, Amazon says that the book's availability has moved up and as a result my preorder will arrive next week.

Thanks to TOP I have this book on my coffee table. I also attended the book launch and gallery opening where i met Harold Feinstein. I let him know I had your blog to thank for knowing about his work. The gallery owner and publisher of the book explained to Harold that a lot of the traffic to his kickstarter page came from TOP.

Mike, that list of 225 books with proper links to Amazon could make it a great month for TOP!

For rnewman and Mike. Recent DPreview story on the digital film. http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/12/19/Nikon-patents-mechanism-for-mounting-and-aligning-sensor-in-film-slr [Michel, Different idea. Dpreview is talking about a replacement back. Leica did that, with the Module R. What we're talking about is a sensor w/electronics that would be INSERTABLE into the existing 35mm camera using the camera's own back. It presumably would look like a film canister with what would look like a tongue of film hanging out, which would include the sensor. Ctein, I absolutely don't believe there were ever any prototypes. I think they were telling people that for external reasons--won't guess out loud, but it's easy enough to guess. Have you ever seen any hard evidence at all of a prototype? I haven't. If there had been one there wouldn't be any reason for us not to see it once the venture went under. Ever talked to a beta tester, an engineer? After they were no longer employed by the company they wouldn't have any reason not to talk. You can prove me wrong if you can. If there was ever a working prototype we would have seen some trace of it by now, IMO. --Mike]

i'm with Roger (from the featured comments). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWwUJH70ubM

Mike, i don't see where you're going with this. Can you be more clear? I don't have a lot of time to figure it out. I have to go out to buy some SD cards for my newly arrived OM-D. ;-) Michel PS: nice book placement.

waited all my life for a Weston book. I can wait a while longer. Glad everyone is safe. Sorry about the trees; it can't compare to loss of life, but it is still terribly sad to see something that grew for decades and was shaped by nature be destroyed overnight,

it might be that there is a firmware update for the device or a software update for Airport Manager.

My favourite lens for my Nikon is the 35mm f1.4. It's radioactive (cool!), has a nice warm yellow tint which is great for B&W and it is solid. When mounted on the FM2 Photomic the whole kit makes a Leica combo seem like a Holga (weight wise).

If I purchase my Hassy through one of your links will you issue a retraction? ;-)

"Everybody's different*." "Watch, someone will disagree with this." Is that a challenge? Genetically speaking we are all the same to 99.9%. Ha!

would Ctein print one of my pictures as a dye transfer print?

a polished turd is still a turd.

Mike, this is the post that launched a thousand purchases for me (first a Voigtlander Bessa with the 40mm lens, then a Leica M2 with Summicron DR 50 and a Zeiss 35/2, and so on). So I am expecting you to purchase that lens and update the article ;-).

Do you think maybe Mr. Burnett will feature Mr. Snadford's picture in his Holga online gallery?

Cool! I am setting up a scanning and printing station in my basement. This will be the perfect motivator.

A B&W only digital camera! Can't wait for the rotary dial iPhone.

i'm French (Canadian) and bellissimo is what comes to mind. Can't wait to see what you picked.

@Adrian. I love that Donald Rumsfeld quote even if it is somewhat diminished by the fact that he couldn't manage the known knowns let alone all the varieties of unknowns.

you know Mike, it's an urban myth that you have to move to Florida when you get to be a certain age.

Link for my previously referenced David Burnett gallery. http://www.davidburnett.com/gallery.html?gallery=Holga%20Eye&folio=Galleries

Although not the same because it's not commissioned work, I was amused to find David Burnett's Holga gallery just after reading this post.

Hopefully Dan knows he can use the volume button to activate the shutter and didn't use his other hand to tap the shutter on the screen!

I love gear reviews (any sort of "gear" really), especially when they are geared toward usability rather than a whole bunch of charts and benchmarks. Look forward to the speaker review.
