Why get an old digital back when you could get a modern mirrorless medium format camera? I wrote a blog post about buying a Fujifilm GFX and selling it again last year. For me the GFX was designed for pixel peeper sharpness, lenses or sensor had not much pop to the images, they looked flat […]
Contax has been one of the hottest camera brands in analog film photography forever, the expensive point and shoot cameras and the even more expensive Contax 645 system have been hyped for years. But not many people mention the Contax 35mm SLR system, also know as the C/Y mount system. For me this is my […]
It finally seems to be going the right way for Canon again after being late to the mirrorless camera party, with only entry level Canon EF-M system cameras for many years, while Sony and even Fujifilm was dominating. But it seems like the Canon R lineup has become popular even though being late, at least […]
Just like how the analog film trend was big over the last 5-10 years among photographers, “digicams” and CCD-sensors are now the new thing. Film has gotten more expensive so people are looking for alternatives, plus the 90’s is cool again meaning suddenly those early digital cameras we used to hate is back in demand. […]

I used Ebay for buying used camera gear for many years now, but recently I got scammed and I want to warn other Ebay users. Ebay’s buyers protection For many years Ebay have been a favorite for camera nerds to buy their gear. It’s the biggest marketplace, you can often find items cheaper if you […]
I never heard much praise of Zeiss Touit lenses for Fujifilm X mount until I watched GxAce’s review last year of the Zeiss Touit 32mm f1.8. I bought the lens back then and have now been using it for a year, and this is my thoughts about this lens. The lens is very expensive brand […]
I recently stumbled upon some photographers on Flickr that all use an old medium format digital back and I was blown away by their photos. It’s the Kodak DCS 645 Pro Back, a digital back released in 2002 (20 years!!!), the price when it was released was $12,000, so not just a average camera but […]
For a lot of years us photographers have only been looking forward when it comes to cameras, always buying the new gear and getting rid of the old.
