When I purchased a Fujica 2X teleconverter on Ebay, several extraneous accessories I planned on reselling were included. One of these was a Fujica AX-5* that impressed me with its heft. To ascertain whether it still functioned, I needed a battery, so I headed off to Showcase. With a fresh battery, the […]

Two weeks ago, I found an X mount Fujica 2X teleconverter on Ebay bundled with a Fujica AX-5, an X winder, and other junk. I did not want the extraneous camera equipment. I bid anyway, as Fujica brand teleconverters are not readily available and it would enhance my Fujica STX-1. The teleconverter […]

Alert readers will remember that back in June I purchased a Polaroid 1200si from Amazon. I chose this camera because I like the vintage look of Polaroid photos and I have a fascination with obsolete technology.
After using the camera for a few months now, I am happy to report that it takes […]

Last week, I ordered a tiny little camera for recreational purposes. I chose the 5.0 megapixel Olympus Stylus Verve S, because of the incredibly compact size and previous positive experience with a film based Stylus.
After taking several shots with it, I determined that photo quality is good for this class of camera […]

Back in January, I found a Fujinar 28mm f/2.8 lens on eBay. For the $25.00 I paid for it, this lens is a totally bitchin’ deal. Sharpness is all right, every properly focused photograph has come out with plenty of detail. The old school manual focus feel is top-notch and far better […]

The Polaroid 1200si I ordered from Amazon just arrived in the mail. It appears to work fine. Stay tuned for further developments.

This lens is fucking sweet. It costs more than a full suspension mountain bike and is worth every cent. All those cents buy a constant aperature zoom that is faster than a blown Supra and sharper than a set of Henckels knives.
The lens also features silentwave autofocus that is is unfuckingbelievable. […]

The week before last, I finally joined the space age and bought an iPod photo. After some initial issues, due to my inebriated state and general inability to follow instructions, I got it set up and working fine. Now, like American Express, I never leave home without it. If you have the […]

Astute Propeller Skies readers will recall that way back in January, my friend The Professor was kind enough to donate a Fujica STX-1 to me. At first, I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the photographs. However, after shooting several rolls of film I realized the camera, being vintage and all, […]

Apparently, the retards have taken over at Nikon. They just announced the D2hs, which is essentially the same as the obsolete D2h, except it costs twice as much. Way to go, geniuses.
