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.

Canon’s amazing 35mm SLR, the EF (1973-1978)

March 9, 2025March 9, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

In many ways, it’s better than the much more famous F-1.

It’s also known as the Canon Black Beauty. It’s built on the F-1’s frame but does not have interchangeable viewfinders or the ability to use a power winder or motor drive.

The EF was first released in 1973, just two years after the F-1. It was Canon’s first aperture-priority camera, well before the AE-1.

The standard lens is the Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 S.S.C. shown here with its lens hood.

Here, a Canon EF and its cousin, the Canon F-1. The F-1 is shown in a limited-edition olive drab.

The Canon EF is a worthy camera for your collection. The ability to electronically time exposures from 1/2 to 30 seconds accurately makes it more versatile than the F-1 in its base form.

The view in the viewfinder. The later EFs had a split-image and microprism focusing screen.

Why I clean (detail) previously owned classic cameras.

March 4, 2025March 4, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

I often purchase used cameras and lenses from individuals in person and from online sites. Some of these gems are usually over forty years old and older, and even though they look clean, I know they’re not. I don’t think I’m a germaphobe (a bit, maybe), but the thought of putting an obviously dirty camera up to my face isn’t too appealing. The flip side to making a camera clean again is that it will go a long way to preserving the camera’s surfaces, preventing corrosion, and removing oils and contaminates that will deteriorate the camera in the long term. I think of it as preserving a bit of history.

Here is a camera I acquired recently. It looked in mint condition and, at first glance, clean. The camera is from 1976, and although it wasn’t heavily used, it’s been sitting around collecting pollutants.

Standard cotton buds (Q-tips) and household Windex and lots of time remove the dirt and grime trapped in and on the surfaces of the camera. These were from the leatherette on the back cover. Think nose oils and dirty fingers. The front leatherette is another grimy area.

After an evening happily spent detailing this gorgeous Canon (below).

I’ve cleaned cameras like this for over thirty years, and never has it damaged a camera or lens. Obviously, I dip the Q-tips in a small container of Windex. Don’t directly spray the camera.

Yashica Classics

February 1, 2025February 1, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

The Yashica ‘J’ series of 35mm SLR film cameras. The top body is the J-7, followed by the J-4, the J-5, and finally, the first one in the series, the J-3. These were heavyweight cameras in their day—the best (for the most part) that Yashica produced from its factory in Nagano Prefecture (Shimosuwa).

This image is missing the Reflex 35 or Penta J and the J-P.

Very subtle changes from the first to the last.

Lens Test – Vivitar 28mm f/2 Auto Wide-Angle Lens for Canon FD Mount

January 24, 2025January 24, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

It’s a relatively rare lens (now) from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Kino Precision likely made the lens under the Kiron brand for Vivitar (started as Ponder & Best in the US). The serial number, SN 22810099, indicates the manufacturer (first two numbers), the year made (8=1978), the week (10=March 6-12), and the consecutive number for that week (099).

The lens is mounted via a K&F Concept FD-FX adapter. It is an older lens with the classic chrome breech lock ring used on Canon cameras starting in the early 1970s.

When I test classic film camera lenses, I almost always use my Fujifilm X-T2 as my platform. The effective focal length with a 1.5x crop sensor mirrorless camera is about 42mm (1.5 x 28).

It’s a heavy lens—288 grams (10.2 oz.) for its size—with lots of glass and brass. I couldn’t find the lens details, so I don’t know how many elements and groups it has. My guess is it has coated optics, as the later lenses have ‘MC’ on the front filter ring. It accepts 55mm filters.

My copy is infested with fungus and shows some haze deep inside. Here are some samples. It’s a shame, really, as the lens has the potential to be a good one. The fast f/2 aperture was not standard or common in a 28mm lens.

Under a bright LED, the internal haze and cloudiness are apparent. The image lacks sharpness.

Again, the fungus, haze, and general cloudiness take their toll.

Outside in dim sunlight, the color balance, as is the clarity, is off a bit.

The lack of detail is especially noticeable along the edges where the fungus filaments are the most evident.

Is it horrible? No, not really. Under the right conditions, it could make for some interesting mood shots. Can it be corrected? Yes, the internal elements and groups would need a deep cleaning.

Nikon F Photomic T and a Nikon F2 Photomic A. The F is from around 1967, and the F2 is from 1978.

Nicca 3-S and a Pentax ME Super. The Pentax is only slightly larger than what was considered to be a miniature camera in the 1950s, the Nicca 3-S 35mm rangefinder.

Yashica ‘Rookie’ – 1956

January 16, 2025January 16, 2025Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Yashicaflex Rookie by Yashima Optical Industry Company, Limited (Yashica by 1958).

It’s rarely seen outside Japan, where it was an inexpensive medium-format 6x6cm 120 film camera. The only item I’m missing is the inner ‘presentation box.’ The outer shipping box is pictured. It was marketed to the first-time camera user as an uncomplicated camera that even a rookie could use.

It’s pictured with its cousin, the Yashica model A.

Canon NFD 24mm f/2.8 lens. I should have used a yellow or orange filter.

My 1978 Canon F-1 loaded and ready to go on a photo walk.

I got better results using the meter in the F-1 when using a 1.35v Wein Cell.

Processing and scans were done by The Darkroom at medium resolution. The images below I used a 625A 1.5v battery which, on average made the camera’s meter two stops off.
