Broken Butterfly

Ugh damnit @gewilli.bsky.social now I gotta see if I still got a spare 28t kicking around somewhere once I get back while the crank is still off

Nothing manlier than just gnawing on a hunk of hard wood

It’s #Caturday, and S’mores modeled for me earlier this week as I tested out a Rolleinar 3 close-up filter and my new Reflx Lab light meter and tried out #Kodak Ektar 100 for the first time on my #Yashica D. #filmphotography #mediumformat #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #cats

Kodak Charmera

Took a shot of the Clem with the Dallmeyer, and have it staged for maintenance today. Now, time for some coffee.

just vibes, in infrared.

One more photo tonight. This one's the IS-3 tho.

Oh bless, Pak reshared his list and I only picked up a few of you. That's only a few to disappoint.

IS-10

Final verdict on the IS-10: yeah so, I've got some crow to eat about bridge cameras. Good camera. More lens distortion than the IS-3, and ironically this copy costs more than I paid for my IS-3 (just by $10, I got a steal on the IS-3). For what they go for, excellent imager.

I don't expect the photos from the Pen W will be better than from the 17 (the lens on the 17 really is extraordinary), but you know what's nice about a classic Pen? Actual. mechanical. manual. focus. Not focus-by-wire, no lag. Such good.

Two hours until the weekend. Goals for tomorrow are to rebuild the Clem Smith Jr for the winter and then I might take it for a shakedown ride so I can try and burn through this test roll in the Pen-W.

Today's unpopular opinion: split-prism is the worst focusing aid

A different approach to my beloved 35/85 pair

Kinda funny that today is the Leica event and I forgot and instead have an entire all-Olympus kit on me oops

Good week for unexpected expenses. The Pen-W hurt, but not as much as caving and getting Riv's Nitto basket rack. Ouch.

The other mounting point on my rack ALSO gave up yesterday, so, today's light mounting choice is extra kludged until I decide if I want to spend even more unplanned money on a new rack or what.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Fresh off complaining about traffic, I’m looking for a job! Focus is automation on linux/python/bash. Lot of testing/QA experience, last couple positions have more more into process optimization, and I’ve been doing CI/CD my whole career (very lazy, computers should do that work.) Remote preferred.

The bad news is Kentmere 400 in ID-11 1+1 takes 16.5 minutes. The good news is filled the time by prepping a new 127 backing paper for the Sawyer’s.

Good day for unicorns

The Epstein emails have been yet another good reason to not be talking to my mother

Maitani's special lecture on making the Pen is also a fascinating read for both camera and design nerds. Dude was truly iconoclastic. www.olympus-global.com/technology/m...

Another Pen EE-S repaired, just gotta collimate the focus now. I wish these things had a bulb mode, so annoying.

The good news is even if you do drop and crack it, it'll still probably be the best 35mm bright line finder you've used.

OK ok, in other Olympus things: today's kit (before I found out there was a Pen-W)

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TWO

With that fancy W and cold gun-black finish I suspect this one will end up being called "Walter" after a real asshole. No not that one. This one.
