Introduction

I'm currently using 2 "Classic" cameras and a numerical Point and Shoot , depending on the mood. Since Technical information is important to some, I've created this page.

J'utilise au gré des fantaisies 2 appareils dits "argentiques classiques" et un numérique. La technique n'est pas vraiment mon dada mais il faut en parler un peu tout de même.

 Leica R7

Shall I admit it? Yes, I own a Leica R7 and R lenses (21/4  Super Angulon, 24mm/f2.8, a 35mm/f2 a 50mm/f1.4 and a Canadian Made 90/f2 with Elpro III attachment). It is a fine system once you get past the bill. However ,it's a SLR, heavily built with a Minolta Core (Shhh, don't repeat it). it deliverswell exposed pictures, sharp thanks to lenses..

Leica does not want to be helpful but all the R3 to R7 serie accept lenses made by Tamron (Japan). The AdaptAll-2 provides the coupling called "three Cam".

Honestly, the Tamron SP70-210/3.5 delivers very great pictures.

The PX625 plo, Paul BG has a very nice solution using the hearing aid zinc air battery

I just found a Leica CL to replace the one I had and sold 2 years back. It came with no lens. Joseph YAO in Hongkong has provided a nice Voigtlander Nokton 40mm/f1.4

Just great.

To be contiued.

  Oldies

After Serge pushed on the use of Medium Format, I wanted to try it out. But no way to spend a lot of dough on it.

In fact in France the labs are expensive for the Medium Format, the revolution of the Digital.

Please have a look to Oldies and Medium Format

 

  DigiLab, Compaquausorus laptop and Nikon LS-2000

My Digital Lab is made of a some old Compaquosaurus laptop refurbished and a nikon 35mm film Scanner. Of Course, it ain't the best especially while I own some Leica Optics. However, I don't want to spend my Euros into equipment that gets obsolete too quickly.

Here are some useful ressources on the Nikon Scanner:
