All from same magazine: Fotografe Melhor Jan/2012.

A Hasselblad is used to lend credibility to the ad.

I like these kind of posters. These pictures were all taken on camera shops I use to go.

Cameras together

Everytime we join some friends on a cafe to talk we make this kind of picture. Most of these cameras were shown on this blog.

The picture below was sent by Dimitry.

More Books and Cameras

Speaking about books, a few time ago I decided to develope my films (B&W and chrome only; no color negative). So I bought the book “Formulario Fotografico” by Reinhard Viebig that brings most known formulas for film development. I got it used and cost me 5 US dollars (shipping included). Back cover is all white.

“Cameras Classicas” by Mario Bock gives technical and historical details of some classic cameras. As far as I know it is the only book in portuguese language about this subject.

My friend Andrade Mendes (the “dream fridge” guy) sent me this picture of photo books and his lovely Leica M3 and Hasselblad 500.

But I think he wouldn´t mind if I post a few more pictures I downloaded from his flickr.

Leica M4-P, M3, III and M8 along with more photo books.

I love this picture: The Three Amigos (Rolleiflex 2.8F with Planar 80 mm f/2.8; Wide Rolleiflex with Distagon 55 mm f/4; Tele Rollei with Sonnar 135 mm f/4). Not to mention some Rollei photos behind the cameras.

More info regarding Tele and Wide Rolleiflex here.

And below, more of his Rolleiflex colection. Top shelf: Rolleicord, Rolleiflex 2.8E, 2.8C, 2.8D and another 2.8C. Bottom shelf: Rolleiflex 3.5F with Tele Mutar 1.5x, 3.5E, 3.5D and 3.5A with a very strange focus knob.

More info about all Rollei models here.

Hasselblad 500CM, Leica R4, Canon EOS 10

This weekend I met this guy and his lovely Hasselblad 500CM. He also created a very cheap scanning method using a shoebox.

Leica R4.

Canon EOS 10 and chessboard painted nails.

Black & White Lab

This is a lab that a lady friend have on her basement. She has three enlargers, the one at right works up to 4×5 negatives.

This is the “wet” part of the lab.

And here a few of her prints.

She used to shoot 35mm and Hasselblad (here a box with some of her cameras).

But since she purchased a 4×5 Linhoff Technika this is the only toy she has been playing with.

But I guess that soon the Linhoff will be left aside for a bigger toy (8×10 Kodak 2D still being overhauled).

A box with large format lenses.
