Fujifilm Instax 41 – Sample Photos
Here’s a post about the Fuji Instax Mini 41. It’s a cool little instant film camera with a nice color scheme and design, much better looking than the bulbous party ones that have been around for ages. I got the Wide camera way back when, then the Square, and now have the Mini format […]
Continue readingNikon AF 35mm f/2 D – Sample Photos and Mini Review – (Road Trip to NC)
I finally bought a used AF Nikon 35mm f/2 D. For many many years I actually used the DX (APS-C) 35mm f/1.8 on my various FF Nikons. Because I had it handily available, and its secret ability is that it actually has enough glass to cover the 24x36mm sensor. With clever editing you can get […]

I got the Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5 over a year ago for something like less than $15? Cheaper than some movie tickets or even a bowl of pho in Asheville. I’ve been browsing the internet reading up about this lens, and I found it listed new in some old camera catalogs from 1977-1980 for $530+. In […]

I have several faulty Canon lenses that just can’t be used for work stuff anymore. As much as I would like some new RF lenses like either of the compact 70-200mm’s, they are just a bit too expensive right now. As long as I can find some workable tools that you don’t have to finance […]

Hello everyone I put together a collection of Portraits and Food photos taken with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L. A lens that many wedding and portrait photographers have in their kit. There are so many new mirrorless 50mm f/1.2 options with their own modern sharpness benefits and the associated premium price hike, but this older […]

Continue readingNikon D3500 Sample Photos + Mini Review
The other day a friend gifted me an extended loan on an unused camera–a little Nikon D3500! I dislike labels, but this camera tier has always been branded as “entry level” by manufacturers, reviewers, and folks that do not shoot that much or get the most out of their tools. This super light traditional DSLR […]

Gave myself a challenge and I photographed most of the above images with the Sigma Foveon cameras! (SD10 and SD15). Not what I’d normally use for product shots due to the never consistent white balance, but they do have a detail that is missing from normal Bayer layer sensors. These mini accordion photo books are […]
