written by adam_g2000 on 2013-02-21 #gearThis four part mini-series sets out to review my four favorite lenses. All these lenses share a commonality: they are all M42 lenses. I love the M42 standard.

The Holga Mod: Modifying the Aperture Settings
written by urban_spacegirl on 2012-04-03 #gear #tutorialsIf you are a hardcore Holga fan or have already taken the time to look up some sites featuring Holga mods and hacks (or to take apart your camera for that matter), you will know that the Holga, despite sporting a switch for two different aperture settings for sunny and cloudy conditions, only features one aperture. This is due to the fact that switching from cloudy to sunny causes an arm to slide in front of the lens opening, the area of the hole on that arm (which is supposed to allow less light in) is larger than that of the aperture; i.e. the amount of light remains the same.

Yashica Electro 35, a treasure hidden in a drawer
written by mochilis on 2011-04-13 #gearI knew it was there, but never had taken my time to examine it... until lomography appeared in my life. I think I have already told you that my parents are not so much into photography and that I don't know where I took this analogue love from (as a funny anecdote I'll say that my mum doesn't have any pic from her pregnancy months because my dad always loaded the films in the wrong way), so it's not surprising that I hadn't noticed my grandpa's or my uncle's cameras before.
