too good to be true …
Toronto. One interesting thing done by editor Ev Roseborough was to reprint articles of interest to our members that first appeared elsewhere. In May 1991, we hosted Jack Naylor who spoke with us about his collection and later distributed a … Continue reading
no ordinary camera …
Toronto. We tend to address each item in our camera collection as model, maker, features, how it works, etc. But some members have a deeper knowledge of science that enhances their assessment of old photographic technology. An example of such … Continue reading
the French have a name for it …
Toronto. … Le Verascope. When the dry plate process and later film became common place, would-be photographers no longer needed to understand the art. Hence the art opened to the far wider world of amateurs. The down side as the … Continue reading

frame subjects from afar
Toronto. In early 1981, at one of our fairs, I bought an odd looking viewfinder from a Mr Hyman. Actually, he had a box of Leica stuff that I picked up. Most items were for use with Telyt … Continue reading
compact but wide
Toronto. Taking advantage of the rangefinder (no need for mirror clearance) Leitz marketed a pocket watch size extra wide field of view 28m lens – the Hektor 2.8cm f/6.3 ‘HOOPY’ in 1934. This little lens allowed for ultra wide outdoor … Continue reading
