Finally I’ve managed to lay my hands on one of these beasts. I first noticed the Norita 66 when my friend ARI started showing some amazing work photographed with his. The Norita 66 is a medium format SLR film camera with a Noritar 80mm f/2 lens and shoots 6×6 format on 120 or 220 film....

Leica S1 – WOOOO!
Oh man this is sweet, Leica S1. Leica’s first digital camera from 1996 which was priced at a cool $21,500 US. It has a digital scanning back and each exposure takes about 3 minutes recording line by line! Super slow but it pumps out 76mb files at 24-bit or 151mb files at 48-bit, huge even...

Lux
One for the camera junkies out there like me, finally got my Leica 35mm Summilux ASPH! Photographed with my Polaroid SX-70, gotta love the colours.
I caught a GOOSE
I can’t wait to use this monster for some weddings in New Zealand this year! Pictured: Polaroid 600se, Mamiya 127mm f/4.7, Eiko. Shot with Leica M8, Leica Summilux 50mm f/1.4
Wim Wenders for Leica
This video is really old, but this is the video that made me obsessed with Leica. After watching this film I absolutely had to have a Leica M8, I hope you get drawn in too! Wim Wenders is the man, if you haven’t seen any of his films check them out.
Film Film Film Film
This wouldn’t and doesn’t look out of place at all in Tokyo where it was shot. Using film cameras and shooting film in Japan is surprisingly common, film is still living on with both amateurs and professionals. The store where I used to buy film was the size of any ‘decent’ camera store here in...
A new addition to the family
A recent addition to my collection of work horses. A 1958 Leica M2 and Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.4. Check out the weight! It’s a featherweight compared to a DSLR. Compared to the Canon 5D I had a long time ago it’s about 1/4 of the weight. Shooting rangefinder and medium format cameras has been the...
The Beast
I don’t think I’ve written anything about cameras for a while so I thought I’d post some of my thoughts from recently changing from shooting mostly digital to film. As some of you may know I have a Leica M8 also and recently tried my hand at shooting film. I started out with Canons, L...
Hasselblad 500 CM
So, a couple of weeks ago I finally got my own Hasselblad. I ended up getting a Hasselblad 500 CM in black, Zeiss 80mm Planar T* f/2.8, 120 and 220 film backs, and polaroid 100 back. So far it has been a lot of fun using it, and a lot different to the medium format...
