I'm on IPHONE but they did some dum limited run thing with the M9. some VW designer refashioned the body and instead of a neck strap they put a hand loop on the right side of the body. they then matched it to a shoulder holster deal, like the cam is a 9mm or something. I think it looks whack, but the idea isn't a bad one
― (♯`∧´) (gbx), Thursday, 29 September 2011 02:28 (twelve years ago) link
oh yeah I think several companies make straps like that - they call them like quick...something.
btw that looks like a... contax g2? that lynch is holding.

lol louis ck uses a leica. is that good or bad?
― dayo, Friday, 30 September 2011 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
obv its good. like, as a huge louis ck stan, i actually swooned a bit when i found out he was a leica dude.
he got some good shots imo. i think you can see his visual sensibilities reflected in "Louie."
― (♯`∧´) (gbx), Friday, 30 September 2011 16:20 (twelve years ago) link
haha I dunno anything about the dude, never seen his work
his setup is like $3.5k between the mp and the summilux. O_o
also he has the same light meter I use
― dayo, Friday, 30 September 2011 16:22 (twelve years ago) link
not counting his 35 and 90!
also O_o at using a lens w/o a protective filter in iraq
― dayo, Friday, 30 September 2011 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
so otm, both points. some lovely pictures out of helicopters on the blog. the pictures of army dudes i find too hard to judge but are neat. visually louie is beautiful - i've read him enthusing about lenses and on stuff like the episode with the neighbours & his pregnant sister you can see how much it pays off.
i think more about the compositional similarities & diffs between photography and cinema than i used to, recently, like i was to play with a film camera to see how it relates
also, all of his prologuing about the leicas - this is awesome, but you can try this one cheaply instead, putting up 'this is a shot taken on film', 'this digital', comparison shots etc are pretty great.
― fleetwood banc (schlump), Friday, 30 September 2011 16:26 (twelve years ago) link
yeah I really appreciated the comparisons. and I think the shot on the helipad is gorgeous
got the go ahead on the M6 btw :D
― (♯`∧´) (gbx), Friday, 30 September 2011 16:34 (twelve years ago) link
neat! come with any lenses?
― dayo, Friday, 30 September 2011 16:37 (twelve years ago) link
prob at least one. 28mm

When I was an art major, I wanted a Hasselblad XPan so I could approximate Cinemascope on 35mm film.

I mean, I'd still love an Xpan, but it's a lot less doable these days.

Just bought a M3 from someone on RFF - recently CLAed by Youxin Ye at a good price. Realistically I'll come out even on the deal in a worst case scenario.

sweet - what's your 50mm?
― 2001: a based godyssey (dayo), Wednesday, 12 October 2011 18:14 (twelve years ago) link
I don't have one currently. Going to initially try a 35mm (I've got a 35 Nokton SC coming) and use the whole viewfinder, if that doesn't work out I'll probably look for a deal on a used Zeiss 50/2. Before Zeisses got scarce, I was seeing those for $550ish, which might be the best cost to lens ratio going.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 12 October 2011 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
the planar or sonnar?
― 2001: a based godyssey (dayo), Wednesday, 12 October 2011 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
Planar, the Sonnar is pretty expensive.
May not be going that route, just PMed someone on RFF about a Canon LTM 50/1.4. I'll just have to order a LTM-M adapter somewhere.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 13 October 2011 03:56 (twelve years ago) link
chinese made ones are cheap and match up pretty well with 'official' ones if you use a digital caliper to measure the thickness

The Voigtlander Nokton (35/1.4, SC) came in the mail today. It's crazy, crazy small. Pictures don't do the size justice.

The modern M grip I found used looks kind of goofy on it but there's a vast improvement when it comes to holding the camera.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 19 October 2011 19:23 (twelve years ago) link

Abrahamsson original. Also got a mini-SR for my X100, the Match Technical I was using on it was wobbly.
Need to get a 50mm (probably Zeiss Planar, if I save the $$$), seriously considering trading my Ikon for a M2 or M4 to use with the 35mm mounted on the M3. The Ikon is a great camera, and the meter/loading are way more convenient obv, but guessing exposure and shooting with the M3 is more fun - and if I want convenient, I've got digital.

I bite my nails so I've got to rig something on the bottom plate so I can open it to reload without pulling out a knife.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 19 October 2011 19:33 (twelve years ago) link
I want this. It's low-res, and doesn't work great in low light, etc. etc., but it is the first camera of its kind, and its ability to choose the focal point of DOF AFTER taking a picture is pretty much mind-blowing.

Lomokino Super 35 - camera that shoots 144 frames on a regular 35mm roll for a (very) short film. $100 for camera and projector, looks pretty awesome.

new technology for the gif generation
― Abattoir Educator / Slaughterman (schlump), Thursday, 3 November 2011 21:47 (twelve years ago) link
so from the vid it looks panoramic which means the film gate is very wide but narrow; probably much less than 24 fps, more like 8?
― dayo, Thursday, 3 November 2011 21:47 (twelve years ago) link
24mm x 8.5mm frames, hand-cranked ~3-4fps

apparently they're going to have some kind of processing/scanning situation set up so you can get them easily digitized. I suspect that will be pretty expensive.

traded the M3 for a M4 - I prefer 35mm or wider and it didn't make sense to buy a 50mm for the M3 right now and then need a body for the 35mm

Yeah, I've got to figure out a setup for developing my own B&W at home. Maybe a DIY drying cabinet in the laundry room (with air filters) and a not-temp sensitive developer like Diafine.
Or I could just take Photo 101 at a community college for lols. Photograms!
