Bye-bye Publix

Our local Publix on the island is being demolished to make way for a new store by late 2026. This one has served Amelia Island since 1987.

It’s been refreshed over the decades, but this will be a total rebuild and expansion of the store.

Looking a bit old.

What it may look like.

Fujifilm X100VI Black 40.2 MP Digital Camera Set w/ a Fujinon 23mm f/2 Aspherical Lens – New in Box – US Model – Never Used, Brand New

I have a brand-new, never-used (or handled) Fujifilm X100VI in black available for purchase.
It is the US (North American) model made in the first quarter of 2025. It comes with a US warranty from Fujifilm. The first image is a stock picture of the camera from Fujifilm.
This is a compact digital camera.
It has never been registered.
New in its original box with everything pictured.
You will receive:
Fujifilm X100VI Digital Camera w/ Fujinon Lens
Box
Fujifilm Lens Cap
USB Cable
Fujifilm Camera Strap
Fujifilm Rechargable Battery NP-W126S
Fujifilm Warranty Papers

Some of its amazing features:
40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR Sensor
Up to 6.0 stops In-Body Image Stabilization
4-stop Internal ND
4x and 2x Digital Teleconverter
20 Film Simulation modes, including REALA ACE
2K/30P, 4K/60P, FHD/240P 10-Bit Video

Powerful Sensor
The imaging technology of the 40MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 5 HR Sensor of the Fujifilm X100VI allows for detailed and masterful shots. With high resolution available in most cameras, creators can capture all the fine details in their environment. Whether it is a crowded city street or a rocky beach lit up in striking shades at sunset, the Fujifilm X100VI’s powerful sensor is a necessary upgrade. Operating at twice the speed of the previous generation, capturing fleeting expressions in portraits or the waves as they crest a seawall is no problem for the Fujifilm X100VI.

Digital teleconverters come in handy, especially when you need a closer shot. Users will get 1.4x and 2.0x crop factors with this Fujifilm camera, along with an internal 4-stop neutral density (ND) filter, to give you even more control over your shots.

Original owner, smoke and pet-free home.

***I mail daily, and this will be sent fully insured, tracked, and must be signed for upon delivery.
USPS Priority Mail Express shipping is available for the quickest service.

***Since this is a brand-new camera, I can not accept a return on this item.

Happy SUNday! – getting there

I’m in the final stage of re-siding my house. The last part to do is up on the roof, which isn’t the easiest place to work. I added a slate feature wall, awning windows, and a fresh coat of paint. I’m trying to beat the heat of summer.

This spot gets about 10 hours of summer sun, so it’s one of the most unpleasant parts to work on.
There will be a small fountain and some plants installed here.
The peak is about 16 feet up, and I’ll have to work standing on the roof. Ugh!

Friday Fotos! – Contax Crazy

My Contax RTS with a Contax RTW W-3 and Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 Macro Zoom lens.
www.ccstudio2380.com

The Contax RTS was released in 1975.
I added a Contax Real Time Winder W-3.
The Carl Zeiss lens is super sharp, and the zoom range is perfect for my type of photography.
It’s not complete without the appropriate Contax overdesigned and oversized lens hood.
Instruction booklet from 1977.
Ad from 1976.

The original Contax RTS (Real Time System) is a joy to use. If you are looking for a classic 35mm SLR to add to your collection, look no further than the RTS.
