Photographers are encourged to use their Brownie cameras and share photos taken with them. There are dozens of Brownie models. I happen to own six different models. One of my oldest cameras…

Continue reading →: Olympus 35 SPSome reviews of the Olympus 35 SP call it the best rangefinder ever made. It is touted for its super sharp lens (an Olympus G. Zuiko 42mm f1.7) and for-its-time revolutionary spot meter. It was introduced in 1969 and has remained a popular choice ever since. These reviews are what…

Continue reading →: A Ciro-flex do-over
When I put a roll of film through my new-to-me Ciro-Flex C last month, I was very pleased with the results except for the fact that the negatives had visible lines on them. Scratches, most likely. I did some research and learned that the most likely issue was the with…
