    3D Printed OM 4 Grip

    Aggregator sites like yeggi can help search for specific files that have been published on line, free and paid. Thingiverse, myminifactory, and cults3d offer tons of free files to print out cameras, many pinhole designs from 35mm - large format and a ton of 120 formats in between. Its a nice to...

    How many enlargers do you have?

    Just two enlargers now, have gone through four in my own darkroom, have given two away. I am happy with my setup right now as I have a smaller darkroom. I use a LPL 670DXL and a Durst Pro 4x5. Ive spent way to much money and time getting all the accessories and lenses for both machines lol.

    Unpopular Cameras You Like

    I've got a few that I really like that just never were popular. OM-PC, was one of the last double digit OM cameras made, it had really great metering even though it wasn't in the same class as the single digits bodies. It was my first OM camera and I shot a ton with it, and it converted me to...

    3D Printed OM 4 Grip

    I made an OM 4 grip which I 3D printed, I based it off the original, and it fits pretty well. I made this after seeing a post on a facebook group about how much these go for. I was fortunate enough to have two of these so I modeled a copy. I still need more practice with 3D design and with...

    Amazing tintype

    Its crazy how much Billy the kids photographs have sold for in modern times. With so many people in the photo do you think they asked for multiple shots so each could have a copy? Also was this tintype hand colored as there seems to be rouge applied to their cheeks.

    Olympus 35 RC Low Light Tips Please!

    I have this camera, well had, its on a long term loan to a good friend. Ive always shot it on manual as my camera didn't have working electronics. My advice is to push your film using the manual mode and really try to time a place your shots around things that help light your subjects such as...

    Finding old cameras in the wild.

    Man, I haven't seen anything nice in years at any thrift shops or garage sales or parking lot salesor antique stores in NYS to PA. You'd think NYC would be saturated but I think there are just too many people here be it photographers or collectors always buying it up even the junk. Whenever I...

    Is it really 3-D?

    I had the same expression reading it. Sigh, I thought my stereo realist 2.8 was pretty sharp and neat. My heart is woe that I will never see such a stereo pair in a viewer that you described.
