    Combinations – Zorki 4 and Redscaled Film

    October 12, 2018 /

    Shooting with the Red October theme is one thing, shooting a Soviet Zorki 4 camera with redscale film is a combination that doesn’t get any more red.  This ensures that the tool is red (aka Soviet), but also the result (aesthetically). The thought of this came through a suggestion from a friend on the yearly Red October theme that is shot by photographers that appreciate cameras made from former Soviet countries.  They do have a reputation of quality issues, but also a fanatical following.  This is sometimes attributed with the unique look the glass from the Soviet factories gives photographs.

    Polaroid Spectra – Almost Instant

    May 11, 2018 /

    Square instant photography too limiting? Want a camera that fits nicely on The Love Boat set? You have a preference for the Polaroid integral instant film?  There is one camera that fits this bill, it is the Polaroid Spectra! The Spectra uses the same film formula as the Polaroid 600 cameras but is in a wider format rather than the more well known square.  The Spectra is more advanced and complicated than the Sun 600 series, and generally produces a better quality result.  Aimed at the more advanced user and unlike the 600s and even the 1000 series, it offers quite a few extra controls.  It does still maintain the…

Canon VT de luxe. This mid 20th century 35mm rangefinder camera often gets mistaken for a Leica clone, but it is a lot more than that. With progressive features like a rotating viewfinder and rapid winder it is quite a different experience. It is the latest review on PhotoThinking.
