Someone Stuffed a New Olympus Pen into a Vintage Pen F Body

With the steady popularity of retro-styled digital cameras, we can assume that camera companies will continue to draw inspiration from classic designs and iconic models. However, it’s also reasonable to expect that these modern takes on the classics can only go as far.

So, if you have a specific vintage camera that you hope would see a digital version, your best bet is often a third-party digital back (although it will most likely look a little unwieldy and clunky). Unless, you have the guts, patience, and talent for tinkering and making your own — or you’re an Olympus fan and would be willing to settle for a vintage Olympus Pen F combined with a digital PEN E-PM1!.

The Most Beautiful Camera Nikon Ever Made

In many ways, I wish that the Nikon Zf were more like the Nikomat EL camera. They're both small and have beautiful ergonomics. And both cameras are ones that you'd want to bring with you everywhere.

How to Clean Battery Corrosion from a Vintage Camera

"This camera doesn't use batteries," is what a young man working at a Brooklyn vintage store told me one day when I inquired about a Polaroid Land Camera they had.

The Best There Ever Was. Nikon F2 Review

"Nothing, it's yours," my dear friend told me when she was cleaning out her father's belonging from her childhood home. A regular at one of the bars I frequent saw the joy on my face as bright as the sun reflects off the sea.

Is the Nikon N80 Worth Buying in 2023?

Back in 2017, I reviewed the Nikon N80. By that time, it was already an old camera. It's not as well known or as spoken about as many of Nikon's other cameras. However, your parents, aunts, or uncles, probably owned one.

Canon Snappy LXII: The Cheap Camera You’re Bound to Love

Often seen sitting all lonely and battered at garage sales, the Canon Snappy LXII is glanced over with the same indifference one has when browsing lotions at the pharmacy. That's to say there's total apathy unless someone is hunting for a good point-and-shoot camera.

How I Fell Back in Love With the Pentax Spotmatic

"That's a really nice camera, mister," is what a young kid said to me the other day about the Pentax Spotmatic I slung around me. That put a smile on my face. And just think, years ago I gave my original Pentax Spotmatic away to someone who I felt needed it to grow as a photographer.
