Years ago, it seems there used to be a higher percentage of content about photography and cameras vs. other stuff. Maybe it's just that.
We Are Who We Are
We're in the middle of an issues discussion, which is unusual around here. First, I have to address the departing supporters, who have withdrawn their Patreon contributions: I'm sorry you were offended—the aim here is indeed for that not to happen, and I strive for that. I don't want anyone to f...

An Introduction to Landscape Photography | California Preservation Foundation
In partnership with the CGLHS, we are pleased to offer a free introduction to landscape photography, presented by landscape photographer and CGLHS member Millicent Harvey and HABS/HAER/HALS photographer Stephen Schafer. Using a camera to capture the beauty of a plant or place is just one aspect of photography. Capturing a historic landscape requires an intentional approach behind the camera, whether the goal is exhibition or documentation. Harvey and Schafer will share insights into their professional yet distinct practices and examples of their work at a free lunchtime talk on Wednesday, November 10th at noon. A Q&A with the photographers will... Continue reading

21mm Olympus f2.0.
Sunday Support Group: That Unicorn Lens
Do you have a favorite prime lens? I should first say, Happy Fourth of July, fellow 'Murricuns. The Lake Road outside my window is practically a parade! Lots of people here for the Fourth. Dogs, bikes, joggers, walkers, babies in strollers. It's 70°F and partly sunny, after lots of wetness latel...
Mike, I also wish this camera didn't have that confarnit video button, and as useful as the tilting screen is in use, I do 90% of my photography from behind the camera so you could delete that too for max nostalgia. BUT IF COSTCO SELLS THE KIT, IT WILL BE A HIT! And I don't remember that many zeroes on the ASA dial of the FE-2 I used for 20 years before digital took over. Asfas as watches... have you run across the MAX BILL HAND-WINDING 027/3702.04? It doesn't look like much from top view, but it has a spectacular rounded crystal that gives the entire Max Bill "retro" lineup a very mid-century appearance (if you get it without the complications).
The New Nikon Z fc
If I had a dollar for every time I've heard someone say some variation of "Why can't they just make a digital FE2/FM2/FM3a?", it would pay for a Snowflake. Well, maybe not quite. But I've heard that a lot over many years, starting two decades ago and more. Have you ever said it, or something lik...

Shifting back and forth between 35mm, 4x5, and 5x7 I use the Viewfinder App on my iPhone and program the lenses I own into the app. Now that the iPhone has a wide angle lens, I can reliably get a view from my 11mm on FF or my 55mm on 4x5 or my 72 on 5x7. It's the wide end of the spectrum that was always a problem to visualize. I can also set the film emulation and get a black and white Ilford HP-5-like representation of the angle, which is great a focusing the mind on the composition. Of course I us a tripod, it's less accurate hand-held on the run.
