Ciclocidade

Accordingly to Murray (a reader of this blog), this is a Leica M8 (“film cameras did not have the tiny window upper middle”) that was used on an ad of a photography contest.

Colormart

Colormat is a small shop (like 2×6 meters) next to Galeria Sete de Abril in Sao Paulo downtown. They develop, scan and print 35 mm films.

What is interesting in this small shop is that they have a Leica III + meter in mint condition on display.

They don´t use it anymore, it is just for display.

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.

Leica, Fuji X100 and a Drawing

Leica Digilux.

This is another kind of “graphy”. Drawing on the subway.

Leica M2 and Canon T1i with Nikon Lens

Leica M2 with black lightmeter and Sumicron 50 mm. This guy had also a 90 mm lens on his pocket.

Canon T1i with Nikon 105 mm f/2.5 lens.

Leica CL and Two Agfa Isolettes

This weekend we gathered some friends to talk and take pictures in Sao Paulo downtown. It rendered a few pictures which I will post along this week.

Leo took a Leica CL…

And an Agfa Isolette that has just arrived from Ebay.

Yamamoto likes Rolleiflex but that day he was using another Agfa Isolette.

Yes, there was two identical Agfa Isolettes.
