We see a lot of special equipment come through on consignment, like this Leica IIIf kit. The Leica IIIf is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced by E. Leitz of Germany between 1950-56. It is one of the last generations of M39 mount rangefinders produced by Leica before the advent of the M-series...

If you're not familiar with Kodak Portra 160 in any of its format sizes, you must consider moving out from under that rock. Since its introduction about 30 years ago, it not only replaced, but also exceeded the image quality of Kodak's former professional negative films. Kodak Portra 160...

A little over a year ago, we began building a library of short videos, each featuring a different film camera. Some are rare and unusual, some are notable workhorses, some are cameras you might want to own but don't know much about. There are links 93 videos on the site right now, and we're...

The Crown Graphic post a couple of weeks back spurred a good number of comments about the utility, ubiquity, and appeal of those Swiss Army Knife cameras. This week, we're going to look at an often overlooked source of big cameras, namely our eBay site. Our brick-and-mortar store carries the...

Really big bullets is right. I had thought about picking up a roll film back for my Crown, but why? I can crop the frame any way I want. Besides, I added a 210mm Rodenstock Geronar to my kit, as well as a 3D-printed pinhole lensboard, which together weigh less than the roll film back. I'm headed...

It was a dark winter day when a shiny beautiful thing walked into my life. Sitting on Blue Moon Camera's showroom shelf was a Crown Graphic Special 4x5 press camera. Fully restored. I had seen it briefly the night before, just as the shop was closing. When walked in the next day, I pointed to...

Yes, this week we chose a B&W film with little or no red sensitivity precisely because it lacks that feature. You can read about this intriguing film here, and find this week's special prices here. This film does come in 4x5 sheets, but we're only discounting 35mm and 120 roll films this time...

Years ago, humorist Dave Barry wrote in one of his newspaper columns of having a large main dog and a smaller auxiliary dog because it only seemed reasonable to do so. A pocketable 35mm camera is a reasonable analog for those "just in case" moments. You can find more fascinating information...
