Hey @shittychallenge.bsky.social do you have the Is IT Legal infographic handy?

Going to need to check what I can use this time around to be legal

For those wondering how this combo shoots, here are some samples. The color ones are technically a Nikon N8008s body, but it’s basically an F4 Junior.

The Nikkor 50/1.2 has two faces depending on the aperture: soft and dreamy or nice and crisp from f2 on.

and digital is so cheap to run, I can rattle away at 10fps and not even think about it
Sometime I have to remember how fortunate we have been to be film photographers after the film times…

Saw a post about Nikon F3
List prices and inflation adjustment, so had to look up this combo:

Nikkor 50/1.2 in 78 $700
Nikon F4 in 88 $2500

2005 inflation adjusted price: $10,350

Friends and family via the Nikon One Touch 100 camera. Memories just look different on old consumer 35mm cameras.

One of the neatest oddities in my film camera collection is a Revere 33 Stereo camera. It takes a pair of 24x24mm images on 35mm film that recreate the scene in 3D.

Try holing you phone up to your nose and slowly backing it away until the 3D pops.

Looks like this ancient roll of Konica Centuria 200 isn’t too bad. Shot T 100 due to age.

EV: A primer

Exposure Value (EV) is the fundamental unit of measure that photographic ‘stops’ are in. While it gets a bad rap because of locked exposure systems on vintage cameras, it’s actually useful to understand when working with any camera as it demystifies exposure choices.

Finally had a few minutes to dig into the mechanism on the Technics SL-BS22 Turntable to fix the gummed up tonearm plunger. Also regreased the platter spindle and stop mechanism.

Running almost rock stead and sounds great.

Dig through the drawers and found the 1940s uncoated 50mm Cintar from His Argus C3. Despite its age and lack of anti-reflective coating, the old Cintar is a pretty solid lens 80+ years later.

Look, I'm going to make Weird Car Bluesky a thing if it kills me and takes all y'all's with it.

Anyway, here's not just a Subaru Vivio, but the retro-themed Bistro version. I suspect this is the same person who also owns a Vivio T-top in my neighborhood.

Are any of my automotive friends going to be at the LA Auto show?

Mason and his friend at Caltech might be interested and I figured I would see if I should send him on a scavenger hunt looking for people.
