Be Straight And Honest.
Es ist ja schon mal durch die Community gegangen: eine Fototapete im Hintergrund kann Ärger machen. Das Landgericht Köln hatte geurteilt, dass natürlich auf einer Fototapete Urheberrecht drauf ist und man sie deswegen auch nicht als Hintergrund verwenden darf – ohne an den Urheber Lizenzgebühren abzudrücken. Nun gibt es dazu neue Urteile […]
In den nächsten Wochen werde ich hier die Website von “Maitani-Fan” übersetzen. Ich wurde auf eine Kopie bei Archive.org aufmerksam gemacht und war der Meinung, dass die Website offline ist. Tatsächlich hat sich aber nur die Adresse geändert und die Website ist nach wie vor hier Online. Erstellt wurde sie von 1998 […]
One of my favorite stories is that I was sitting at the presentation of the PEN-F in Zurich at the time, I had tested the camera two weeks before and was shockingly in love with it, and they actually explained up front that the key feature of the camera was that you […]
It was back in 2005, in the middle of the summer, when Stefan Hendricks, at the time moderator of oly-e, was fed up with constantly maintaining the FAQ on oly-e. So he set up a wiki and named it “olypedia”. On July 14, 2005 at 12:38 (and 24 seconds) he released his […]
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. The net is not free. Nothing is free. You either pay now or pay later. Or you get someone else to pay. In most cases, it is cheaper to pay right away than to use a service “for free” and then pay even […]

Digitize medium format. 35mm format is not a major problem. With anything larger, it gets hairy. I’ve already mentioned the Kodak Instamatic – I don’t really care about the 2mm missing at the top, but you have to come up with something for anything larger. If you still have working medium format […]

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 received a […]
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 must not […]
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” of the […]
