It’s just time to say thank you. A few things have happened in the last few weeks that have really flashed me. Firstly, Helge received a camera to try out his battery dummy within a very short space of time – and from a photo retailer too. And he also […]
Cordless screwdrivers are incredibly practical. I couldn’t have done the renovation in Rocksdorf without cordless screwdrivers. Cordless screwdrivers are also used for assembling cars and electronic equipment. The fact that you can set the torque with which the screw is tightened is particularly practical. When assembling circuit boards, the torque […]
Today it’s all about negative material in 35mm format. As already discussed in the last episode: Flatbed scanners and older slide scanners have a problem with the dynamic range of negative film. Some scanners try to solve the problem with multiple exposures. However, this only works if the “dynamic range” […]

Mark Humpage was Olympus Visionary many years ago and is remembered by German fanboys for one action in particular: He took the E-5 and the Fisheye into the Blue Lagoon in Iceland and submerged it while the video was running: Of course you have to go to the shower afterwards…. […]
Anyone who owns a 35-100 knows the problem: the lens hood – which is not exactly cheap – tends to crack and then constantly fall off the lens. And even if the lens hood doesn’t break, the plastic mounts wear off over time. Helge has now measured and rebuilt a […]
Diesen Blogbeitrag gibt es nicht auf Englisch, weil man dazu einen deutschen Blogbeitrag von Hauke Fischer kennen muss. Nämlich den hier. Ihr wisst ja, meine Kommentare zu seinen Blogbeiträgen beschränken sich im Allgemeinen auf zwei Worte: “Genau so!”. Diesmal muss ich aber meinen Senf dazugeben. Gerade weil ich eben aus […]
