Using Konica AR lenses on my Canon EOS 1000D
The other day I found a Konica to EOS Adapter on eBay. I’ve wanted one of these for a while but wasn’t able to find one – either new or used, so I jumped on this one and contacted the seller. After a bit of bartering we agreed on 25 euro + shipping costs and […]

Meet the camera: Revue 400 SE
The other day I recieved my new old camera: A Revue 400 SE! It’s a rangefinder camera with full aperture automation, which means I can set a shutter speed and ISO and the camera will chose the aperture. The viewfinder shows a small square in which two images are shows that need to be aligned […]

Shooting 120 film on a camera from the 1930s
>inb4 the camera may be from the late 1930s or 1940s. I couldn’t figure this out, but the Zeiss Ikon Nettar was released in 1937 and it just sounds a lot better to say it’s a camera from the 1930s. So anyway, I bought a Zeiss Ikon Nettar for 10€ on eBay and loaded it […]

Easter in the park
Yesterday we spent Easter in the park, enjoying the sunny weather and some food. Of course I brought a camera, my Fujifilm X30. It’s my always-with-me camera and I managed to make time for a stroll through the park to take some photos. For all the photos I used my in-camera preset, they’re not edited […]

The day my camera skipped half a roll
It’s a sunny cloudy day and I’ve decided to take a walk through the neighbourhood to get away from my computer screen and finish a roll of film. I already took 18 shots the day before, so with “only” 18 left I felt like I could quite easily finish the roll and develop it the […]

Fomapan 400 developed in Caffenol
I’m hooked. Developing film at home is so exciting. After my experiment of shooting Fomapan 400 @ ISO 200 didn’t work out well (maybe because I light leaked the film a bit 😅), this experiment was a full blown success. Beside a few images that were underexposed all photos turned out great, and I’m truly […]

Update on the Konica Big Mini
If you follow my Instagram you may already seen it: The Big Mini is malfunctioning and rewound two films into the canister after one shot. I took the camera apart to have a look at the inside, and as I first assumed the connection cable between the backside and the frontside is broken. Lucky for […]
