scanning Fuji Velvia
[Gallery not found]A couple of Fuji Velvia shots i did with my Leica M6. For scanning i used the Nikon Coolscan V ED. The colors look so much better than everything i get out of my Epson V700.
Nikon FA
The Nikon FA is the last camera of this little series. It’s small and offers all kinds of programs. Unlike the FM, the FA’s shutter is quite silent but on the other hand some of the body parts are made of plastic. I use this FA and the 50mm F1.4 in my office from time to time.
Kodak Retinette IIa
A Kodak Retinetta IIa from 1959. It was built here in Germany and still works perfectly. This is an exceptionell nice camera with superb build quality. The lens features a builtin mechanical DOF indicator.
FED 3 (Type A)
A russian FED 3 which i bought in Budapest about 10 years ago. There’s nothing good i can say about this camera. It does not even deserve to be called a Leica copy.
Canon Canonet 28
Bought this camera last year and never used it so there’s not much i can say about it.
Dacora Digna
This Dacora Digna from 1959 used to be my fathers camera. My family didn’t have money at that time and this camera proves this.
Nikon F100
This is my second F100. I broke the first one a few months ago and it was cheaper to get a new one than to pay for the Nikon Service to fix it. The F100 is the lightweight version of the F5. It’s very fast and has the best viewfinder of all cameras i have used so far.
Nikon FM
I don’t remember when or why i bought this Nikon FM. It’s quite small, very solid and does not need any batteries. Unfortunately the shutter is way too loud so i can’t use for street shots. I keep this camera in my car just in case i want to shoot something spontaneously (which has, so far, never been the case).
Nikon F4s
I bought my first Nikon F4s in 1995 when i was a student. I paid ‘only’ 950 Mark because the Rewind Motor and AF were broken. At that time the price was as much as 3 months of rent for my apartment. Even after 13 years this is still a fantastic camera.
