For this week’s installment of Film Friday, we’re highlighting a fun little list from Kosmo Photo that looks at the ten quirkiest compact film cameras ever to go into production.
For the list, Kosmo Foto founder Stephen Dowling turns the spotlight on a motley crew of 35mm film cameras made from the 1980s onwards. As noted by Dowling, all of the cameras in the list were production cameras no ‘no weird concepts [or] novelty / toy cameras. ‘
Almost no major camera manufacturer of the time was spared from the list, aside from Nikon, so head on over to Kosmo Foto to see what crazy models made the list:
The Monster Adapter LA-KE1 gives Pentaxians a way to use many of their K-mount lenses with full AF on Sony E-mount mirrorless bodies. Mike Tomkins looks at how it performs.
Laowa has just announced a new 20mm shift lens, and we were able to put it through its paces in downtown Calgary.
Rotolight’s new NEO 3 and AEOS 2 lights may be more powerful than their predecessors, but they go one step further, providing millions of colorful lighting options via a touchscreen display.
The new Sony 16-35mm F4 PZ is obviously an interesting choice for video work, but we think it’s a solid choice for photographers as well.
