Be Straight And Honest.
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 […]
Excire Search 2024, the Lightroom plugin, has been available since today. This means that AI free text search is now also available in Lightroom. (Of course, I found the image above with Excire Photo – also with free text search. ) Newsletter recipients have a discount code in their newsletter with which […]
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 […]
Excire 3.1.0 is out, the update has the following changes compared to version 3.0.2: The update runs quickly, the database update is ready almost immediately.
In Bavaria, wellies hang on town signs all over the countryside. Occasionally even two pairs – small and large. Of course, the authorities have already announced that this is absolutely illegal. You can’t hang things on signs at all. It could distract drivers. (But election posters are allowed – nobody looks at […]
The shoe boxes and the slide boxes and old negative strips. A horror. Thousands of unlabelled pictures. Is that historical or crap? Some of the shoe boxes have been moved from the first estate to the second and third estates, and occasionally photo albums have been dismantled because they took up too […]
