Zeiss Ikon 35mm Rangefinder Camera: Featured User Review

July 6th, 2009 by Photo-John

Here’s something a little different for a Featured User Review - instead of the usual digital camera or zoom lens review, I chose this excellent review for a film camera - and a rangefinder at that! The fact is, there are still plenty of film shooters and the Zeiss Ikon rangefinder is a truly beautiful piece of camera equipment. Martin’s review gives me a chance to highlight this fine camera. Remember: your reviews are the foundation of PhotographyREVIEW.com. Share your experience with other photographers by writing reviews for your cameras and other photo gear.

Kodak Retires Kodachrome Slide Film

June 22nd, 2009 by Photo-John

Kodachrome Slide Film Kodak is discontinuing production of their iconic Kodachrome slide film. Kodachrome is, without a doubt, one of the best known and most used film-types in history. With an absolutely recognizable look, it defined color photography in the sixties and seventies and I’d be willing to bet it was used for more National Geographic photos than any other color film. However, digital cameras, new film technology and the technical difficulty of processing Kodachrome have made it less and less popular.

Fujifilm / Voigtlander 667 Folding Camera

March 6th, 2009 by Photo-John

Last year, Fujifilm had a prototype folding medium format camera in their booth that all the film shooters were drooling over (see photo below, taken at PMA 2008 by walterick). I made sure to ask about the camera when I met with the Fujifilm folks at PMA this time. The rep I spoke to said the camera was being manufactured by Cosina and would be distributed in the US by THK (distributor of Tokina and Kenko optical products). Shortly after my Fujifilm meeting, I talked to Ken Rockwell who said he’d heard the same story but was told by THK that CameraQuest was the US distributor. I checked the CameraQuest Web site and the camera was listed at the top of the page as the Voigtlander 667. There’s no price or delivery date yet on the Fuji / Voigtlander 667 folder, but CameraQuest does have a waiting list for people who want to order the camera.

They are also the only manufacturer to have introduced a new film recently – Ektar 100 print film. In fact, Kodak’s Ektar 100 will soon be available in medium format as well as 35mm rolls.
