Mike Gammill Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Also a great issue. With the SLR comparison I'm guessing this issue would have been a keeper for some time. Anscochromes delivered the goods although they did tend to fade over the years. My dad had a lot of old magazines from those days but I don't think he had this one. Thanks again.

marc_bergman1 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Mike - I'm glad I used so much Kodachrome back in the days. They still look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I used a lot of Kodachrome as well. I did shoot some Fujichrome R-100 (E4) back in the 70's especially when it was on sale. I liked it better than Ektachrome-X and High Speed Ektachrome. I never tried any of the Anscochromes in 35mm although I did shoot a few rolls of Super 8 GAF (Anscochrome).

Julio Fernandez Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Another great post, thanks for sharing. The article on using tele lenses is still useful today. I liked the case of an old Ford swapped for a Minolta in THTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyfalsetta Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thanks again Marc. The SLR comparison was very entertaining in that some of those cameras still command the numbers listed in the article. The death of film has been greatly exaggerated.

These are not even good hindsight, much less insight. Thanks, as always to Marc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyfalsetta Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) The RF vs reflex article is interesting. I often wonder why no manufacturer (that I am aware of) ever brought to market a camera with hydraulically or pneumatically or even magnetically damped mirror travel. Then again, having worked for one of the major Japanese manufacturers I can attest to how oblivious they were to how people used their products. To illustrate my point, they never even imagined videographers would capitalize on the inherent benefits of an SLR when shooting digital video. The users had developed an entire workflow around the camera and the last people to know about it was the company/Engineers who developed it.

AJG Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Mirror damping is an interesting question--if it slows down the exposure sequence then the camera is less responsive in candid situations and moments are lost. That said, some cameras definitely do a better job on this than others: my Pentax MX bodies could be reliably hand held at 1/30 with 50 and shorter lenses, but almost never at 1/15 while my Pentax LX bodies were frequently good at 1/15 with these same lenses. The bizarre part of this was that the LX felt like it had more shock from mirror movement, but it was on the return to the down position, not on the way up when it matters most for sharpness.
