see guys, you don't need video to make kick rear end films, you can do it with 18.5TB worth of stills. http://www.pdnpulse.com/2009/11/fantastic-mr-fox-movie-shot-with-nikon-d3s.html Fantastic Mr. Fox was a really good movie and was shot using a variety of DSLRs. The coolest bit though is their crazy custom software to live stream the shots all on a network for Wes Anderson, the director, to view from anywhere.

Looking for the link to a blog someone posted awhile back; it was a Japanese Photographer who would go around Sartorialist style and take pictures of other street photographer's cameras. It was pretty fun to see the variety of stuff people in a camera-centric culture were shooting with.

That software is nuts, and crazy useful.

Alright! A Nikonos V! Those are pretty excellent cameras for above water shooting if you mount the 35mm amphibious lens. You don't have to freak out if it rains, the camera gets stuff splashed on it, or you drop it in water. The only issue is that focusing is a little difficult.

I also have an XA and 35RC.  What are you asking for the F/lens? I'm not so sure on funds right this moment, I'm in the middle of changing up my film gear lineup and need to wait for the dust to settle. Should know in another week or two, Christmas time at the latest. brad industry posted:XA's are the poo poo, best pocket camera ever. I've got an XA gathering dust on my shelf, I picked it up for cheap but it needs repair. It's actually my third one, I've owned two before but both broke (one had the electromagnet that controls the shutter go out, the other had some plastic crud fall in the advance mechanism and jam it). I sent them both off for servicing last year but the tech only got the second one working, also had him modify the light meter to read a stop fast, opening up ISO 1600 shooting. Big fan of the camera, especially after the conversion, but eventually sold it to fund my Bessa. Decent shallow DoF, with accurate rangefinder focusing:  Self-timer for long, vibration-free exposures:  I've heard some people complain about vignetting but it's generally well-controlled, here's a Kodachrome 25 scan:  35mm is a nice focal length, decent wide but not crazy:  Small and unobtrusive, good for street shots:  tl;dr - Olympus XA: a cool little camera.

If you EVER need an Olympus camera modified or repaired to a level above what you're expecting, please find a way to contact me. zonesix, gmail et cetera. I know someone who will blow your mind for less money than you think. PS: If those shots came from an XA, I'll send you a propak of 35mm film and pay for processing, as long as you don't mind me jerking it to your photos. Awesome stuff. PPS: I don't exactly own the camera/lens yet, but it's on reserve for me at the company I start employment with tomorrow morning. I have been offered the low low price of $80 for the camera and lens. I no longer have an adapter to put the lens on the E-P1, nor the E-P1. I'll sell the whole shebang to you at my cost, or you can wait a couple days and I'll tell my boss to sell it to you at the price he offered me. $80 for the camera and lens by today's market prices, according to the internet seems to be a good deal, and I have personally verified that it's in loving AWESOME condition. No dust inside it, lens or body.

I know someone who will blow your mind for less money than you think. Dude, sold. I may take you up on that repair guy too, previous one was $60 which seemed reasonable enough, but I was a little bummed he couldn't save both cameras. No longer have the unfixable one, but would be nice knowing #3 is in good hands. Issues aren't major, misaligned RF and aperture lever gets practically frozen between f/4 and f/8. Meter and shutter are working fine though. Yep, those are all out of those two XA's I mentioned. I don't have a working Oly camera at the moment though :-\

You don't need to run a roll of film through it, but do you mind just eyeballing the shutter speeds and other obvious stuff, and sending me a few pics when you get it? If for whatever reason I'm not using it as much as I thought (I want a nice little half-frame as my "take anywhere, shoot lots" camera), I'll re-sell it at cost to another goon. I think evil_bunnY had secondsies though.

The XA's are full 35mm, not half-frame. They are still loving tiny though.

EDIT: http://www.subclub.org/shop/halframe.htm As an aside, I learned at Olympus that the Pen series came about because in post-war Japan, they were trying to find a way to make photography cheaper, you know, for lack of money, and they came up with the half-frame PEN.

Stregone posted:Those half frame cameras sound really cool. Is there a website out there with more info about them? As noss said, film was apparently pretty pricey back in the 60's, and doubling the number of shots per roll (and coming up with much smaller bodies/lenses) was a clever move. A bit analogous to the DSLR/cropping thing today when you think about it, although the limited high ISO performance/size of enlargements limitations might not be such a close fit. A lot of people like them for the size/uniqueness/diptychs, but I'm actually a bit motivated by cost too. Not that film's breaking the bank when I mostly shoot Arista, but it'd be nice to regain some of the "shoot whatever" attitude from digital. Olympus has done some pretty cool things, I've always liked them as the scrappy underdog Japanese camera manufacturer, although right now all I own of theirs is a 50mm f/1.8 and that busted XA. Their OM SLR's are really nice though, I think probably the most compact of any of the major manufacturers. I also used to have their 21mm f/2.0 lens, which was a real gem (although a bit pricey, eventually sold it because it was essentially a $600+ novelty item). I didn't have an adapter for it at first and really wanted to try it out, so I took it along and handheld it in front of my camera to get some cool tilt-shift type shots. Despite the limited image circle it works really well: wide and fast so you can take a lot in and blur a lot out. I have a Bronica 50mm f/2.8 on a more proper home-made tilt/shift adapter now that costs a fraction of what the Zuiko did, but it's just not the same  noss: E-mail sent.

I recall that when the Konica half-frame came out, it got pretty slammed for the quality of images due to the half-frame format. That said, it was reviewed by the same type of people who pixel peep nowaday, so who knows...
