Are you looking for a small interchangeable lens 35mm camera that will work without batteries? One that you can actually stick in your pocket with a small lens? Look no further than the excellent Pentax ME Super camera.
This popular model from Pentax was made from the very late 1970s to the mid 1980s, and was probably discontinued due to …
I'm always glad to see more instant analog cameras coming out, and now we can add the once very popular Polaroid One Step back to the current inventory of cameras that shoot out an image that develops by itself. Of course there are Zink cameras, but they simply print from the digital camera memory, not from the actual scene or film from the camera; this difference is very important to a real artist. As Polaroid correctly states on their boxes; It takes a moment and turns it into something you can hold, something you can share, something real!
A minor down side to all this fun; don't get to crazy with the shutter button, it'll cost you north of $2 a shot for good film.

Sigma has two new lenses (14/1.8 and 24-70/2.8) with factory supplied adapters for Sony FE cameras; these new additions bring the total factory adapted lenses to 10+, and native FE system lenses to over 80. We now have over 90 lenses to choose from for our Sony FE cameras; so is that enough? Unfortunately, I don't think so. Most of the lenses are wide to mid length primes, with very few zoom telephoto options right now, and zero telephoto primes over 135mm.

Here's a nice video for milky way shooters, but more interestingly is the relatively inexpensive equipment used, the$600 Sony A6000 and$329 Rokinon/Samyang 12mm F/2 lens. This is mostly the same gear I use for still milky way shots, and seems to be the standard for budget minded people. Go here for the Rokinon 12mm review.
The Sigma 30mm F/1.4 DC DN will be the first APS-C lens I’ve reviewed in almost three years. I like the focal length on the smaller sensor, and the coverage is about 45mm in 135 format.
I’ll have some full resolution test shots up in a few days.…

Let’s do a little window shopping today, shall we? Think we might need a box of Glory Dimples? Or maybe some Kyanize enamel paint to touch up those worn out balls!! Other items of interest: Otter Bait Pail, re-purposed as a ball washer perhaps; and in the right lower corner some cone shaped tees …
I brought along a trio of wide angle lenses for an interior shoot, and while taking a quick break, I thought I’d see how they all compared to each other. The subject lenses are:
Sony 10-18mm for aps-c sensors
Rokinon 24mm F/1.4 full frame
Zeiss 25mm F/2 full frame.
All images were taken in RAW, with minor lighting adjustments to …
