As usual, my reviews are not technical. I describe what I like and what I don't like. This camera was produced between 1976 and 1982. Not a long run. As it turns out, I've read that people really [...]
This is an interesting camera indeed. It has a couple of foibles, but nothing that would keep you from carrying this thing everywhere you go. There isn't much information on this camera. I can tell [...]
An afternoon with a Sears Auto 135mm M42 I have a funny obsession with the 135mm lens. I have nine of versions. I would have twelve, but I gave a few away. I think it's a great focal length for urban [...]

The first roll from a budget Sears 35mm This is a not so interesting camera, that may have a place in a lot of photographers' collection. I just put a roll through it to see how well it performed. [...]
Living in the Pacific Northwest affords me with the opportunity to catch independent music almost any night of the week. Last night in Eugene was another great evening of music. Berg and I hit up The [...]
