I would like to have one DVD too, although I think if I see footage of PE, i'll cry. I was very sad with his passing. He was so kind and I used to message him in private in this forum, and he always had time and patience to answer me.

On 35mm, either my Canon New F-1 or the F-1. At the end it won over all the nikons i've had; F, F2SB, F2AS, F3, many Nikkormats, FE, FM, FM2, FE2, EL, and EL2. Second choice would be Pentax MX and third choice would be my Nikon F2SB. On medium format, it was the RB67, now it is the Bronica...

Canon and Nikon are in the microchip manufacturing equipment sector since the 80s (or even since the 70s). Nothing new. As for "Photographic lenses is not a high tech / high margin product anymore", i somewhat agree.

Hello Mohmad, Reversal process should give visually finer grain than the same film in negative process, because the image is made of film grains that have been exposed at the same (high) density. Thus the grain is more uniform to the eye. This is why slide films are often finer grained than...

Do you have some link you could share of some test that show the true iso and/or the results when used at ISO 160? I'm curious.

You're correct and I forgot about that. So, amend my ranking above and remove from the ranking the Canon New FD lenses that rely on rubber cam roller bearings. These are most (almost all) zooms, and all lenses with a floating system (i.e. 24/2.8, 28/2.0). Those roller bearings will need...

How about 6x8? The Fujiflm 6x8 SLRs are the ultimate cameras ever -- if you're a bodybuilder, of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuji_GX680

Yes, the bigger surface area of MF compensates for the lower optical performance of the scanner and, for some applications, give perfectly fine results. However, in some sense you're wasting the extra expense and effort spared in using medium format, because you're discarding fine detail. I...

Overcoated? In which sense?

I agree that the Zeiss lenses for the Contarex might be at the top of all time. Then i'd say, for japanese lenses, that the Pentax Takumars (Super Takumars and SMCT) are, for me, at the top of mechanical construction in smoothness and fit and finish. Below those, i'd equally rank: - Pentax K...

If you're scanning for showing your pics on the web then a flatbed like the v600 is a good choice. If you intend on printing and enlarging (digital enlarging), it is not a good choice since they discard a lot, a LOT of resolution and -even worse- add aberrations to the image (chromatic...

Yes please!! HP5 in 220 Please!!!
