Beacon 225: Time to get your Argus out
http://beacon225.blogspot.com/2015/03/time-to-get-your-argus-out.html
Thursday, March 26, 2015. Time to get your Argus out. Today neither the North nor the seasons have the influence they once did. Argus now exists in Ann Arbor as a museum. Fortunately, today many Argus cameras remain ready to take pictures. So with the warm weather returning to the north the time is right to get an Argus and head outdoors. The images here were taken with an Argus C4. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Station 144 27 Bridge. Yashica ML 50mm 1:1.7. Time to get your Argus out.

Beacon 225: November 2014
http://beacon225.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2014. I started on this post sometime ago and didn't get it finished. Figured as I restart this blog for the winter I might as well make this the first offering. A few days ago I was reading this post. The ones above also were with the Canon 50-250. I think I get the best results with this lens since it lets me get close without sticking a camera in someone's face. A couple more from when I had a phase of liking to put frames around things.

Beacon 225: Minolta Hi-Matic AF2
http://beacon225.blogspot.com/2012/04/minolta-hi-matic-af2.html
Friday, April 6, 2012. Auto focus with automatic exposure control. Minolta 38mm f/2.8 4 elements in 3 groups. Electronic, set automatically from 1/8 to 1/430. Anyway my parents used this camera up until a few years ago. When I got interesting in film again and saw that they were no longer using it I grabbed it mostly for sentimental reasons. It took a while before I got around to taking some pictures with it. Barbershop at the old Illinois Central passenger depot in Champaign IL. Station 144 27 Bridge.

Beacon 225: Yashica 72-E
http://beacon225.blogspot.com/2015/12/yashica-72-e.html
Wednesday, December 16, 2015. Made 1962 the Yashica 72-E was one of many cameras introduced during the 1960's half-frame craze. The idea was to get more pictures on a roll of film back when film, especially color, was seen as expensive. Today I think the appeal of a half-frame is the diptych photos they yield. At least it is for me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Station 144 27 Bridge. Yashica ML 50mm 1:1.7. Worth 1,000 Words Exploring the art of Photography. View my complete profile.

Monday, July 25, 2016. Sure has been a while since I last posted. Yesterday I saw an entry in the 1966 Sears catalog for one of my favorites of the all mechanical SLRs . The camera is the Sears TLS. I wrote about it a few years ago. The $197 price would be equal to $1465 today. Labels: Sears Camera film 35mm 1966. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Station 144 27 Bridge. Yashica ML 50mm 1:1.7.

Beacon 225: May 2015
http://beacon225.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. Since I am running out of inspiration to make enough posts about film cameras to keep this blog going I have decided to expand my subject to a wider range of vintage topics. The reason for only making one concrete lane was that they would get more road for the money. If you occasionally had to pull off to let another car by it would be made up for by being able to make most of your trip "out of the mud". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Station 144 27 Bridge.

Beacon 225: January 2015
http://beacon225.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2015. I couldn't find anything on what year this Spartus camera was made. I would guess the late 1940's to the mid-1950's. Spartus. Was a company in Chicago that made a great variety of inexpensive cameras during this era. My guess is that these cameras were kinda like the inexpensive point and shoot cameras made by companies like Vivitar in the 1980's and 1990's. Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Kodak Retina Reflex III.
