I recently bought an Olympus Pen EE3. I put a roll of film in it and loved it- then my daughter claimed it and took it back to London with her… It did feel a long time to get through the roll.

Just a note to say thanks for this thread. I’ve been planning to have another go at cyanotype soon. This is useful. Mike

It’s tempting to suggest a Dremel… Perhaps more pertinently, maybe wind before exposing rather than afterwards. 0.2mm is quite a lot for a wide angle.

I’ve been calibrating focus on some M mount lenses using an appropriately sized piece of ground glass against the film rails and a macro lens and 20x magnified live view on my mirrorless camera to view the ground glass. I tend to calibrate the M at 1.5 to 2 metres and then everything else is OK...

No, not every scene creates problems. It’s about detail frequency and edge aero facts. Couloir moire requires regular high frequency detail, hence roof slates and fabric weave are classic examples. Here are a couple of links where people discuss problems with colour aliasing in the Ricoh GR iii...

Hopefully Brian won’t mind if I add a little bit of information to his response, and a small contradiction;) Aliasing is a problem that occurs when using any form of (digital) sampling of an analogue signal. In photographic terms, the sensor samples the brightness of the image projected by the...

Not sure about this level of camera but my local shop owner tells me that there is a very high demand at the moment for old ccd digicams. Every weekend younger people ask for them and he can sell all he can source. I was set to give him a couple of oldies I had hanging around, but my daughters...

The second paragraph lists the uses of deepfake technology that have attracted attention and they are all very problematic. That is telling in itself

It’s like high end audio

This looks like a cibachrome I had printed from a Kodachrome slide back in the very very early 90s:) I had an old water mill across the river and a weir, as well as dark shadows under the trees. These days the mill has been converted to an upmarket house (river frontage) and the weir was lost...

As I said, ‘do not try this at home’;)

Why do they remove ‘extra’ fingers? I’m sure there’s a good use for them - say if they became a swimmer or something. Also, do not try this at home, I’ve read that sometimes very young children who have lost fingers actually regrow them. Removing at birth could just lead to new growth! Mike

“According to Robinson, in the political arena the upshot will be that every spin doctor will try to stop all doctoring of promotional images. “They’ll be accused of fakery even if they just do the most harmless bit of bringing someone closer to Keir Starmer. Authenticity is now the most...

Actually, I think rawdigger will display a raw file, but that’s not really very helpful. Raw files consist of a single filtered colour at each pixel and the colours are out of balance due to the filtration and spectral response. What you see from raw converters, including Lightroom, are...

Korak’s suggestion to get a camera with a display and, ideally, histogram is good. I think with the 262(?) I’d be bracketing exposure whenever I could and biasing towards slight under exposure - that’s easier to fix in Lightroom - if I couldn’t bracket. Given the hard clipping of highlights in...
