The Tynar was a camera for 16mm film. It used 16mm film in metal cartridges. It was offered since 1949 by Phil Kalech Company, Chicago, and by the Tynar Corporation which had plants in Chicago, Cincinnati, Los Angeles and New London, maybe also the maker of the camera. It was advertised as delivering cheap prints: 1 US-Dollar for fourteen 2½×3½" prints from one film, including its development, what alltogether had to be made in one of the four Tynar laboratories. The cassettes were marked "property of Tynar Corporation". Maybe these cassettes (Film magazines) were refilled in the plants with the Tynar Panchromatic film. A Tynar cassette was very small since the image frame was on the outer side of its film transport channel. All better known 16mm film cassette systems used larger cassettes with the image frame on the opposite side of the film transport channel.<br />The camera had a collapsible two-frame viewfinder, a film advance with exposure counter, an achromatic anastigmat lens, a single speed shutter and choice between apertures f6.3, f11 and f16.

Set on a Leica M8, the 28mm, becomes a 35mm equivalent. The funny thing about this lens, is it's Lomo-like features, blurry edges and a big vignetting wide open. The lens had to be rectified to have a correct depth of field, adapted to the LTM system. It's not coupled so when shooting wide open, the distance has to be set manually and rather correctly, it's not a big issue because it's a wide lens. <br /><br />Do I have turned my beloved Leica M8, to a digital LCA ? The answer is YES!</p>Romuald Swieconekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17027876465584399729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555551180413017139.post-2239083708414406982012-02-26T10:14:00.001+01:002012-02-26T10:14:29.337+01:00N°301 : Leica M8 + Nikon/LTM Adapter + Tamron 10-24 + Voigtlander

The viewer fits perfectly the frame of the token pictures, but the huge lens is masking the lower part of the frame.</p>Romuald Swieconekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17027876465584399729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555551180413017139.post-68361013747407321002011-12-18T14:24:00.002+01:002011-12-18T14:25:38.409+01:00N°300 : Muscle Cam : Samsung 815 Pro<a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6530944899/"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid" alt="" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7175/6530944899_facda49bbb_m.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6530944899/">Muscle Cam : Samsung 815 Pro</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/">ishoothorizon</a></span><br /><br /><p>At his time this bridge had it all better then the rest :<br /><br />- 3 Viewers : TFT, bridge-viewer and top.<br />- Biggest Lithium Battery : + 500 shots.<br />- Biggest display screen : 3.5 TFT.<br />- Biggest zoom : 15x optical Schneider-Kreuznach.<br /><br />Even the poor ISO-max of 400 did not interfer with the very good image quality of the beast.<br /><br />Samsung did it again!<br /><br />(Ok, they copy the Sony DSC-F828 a bit, bit I forgive them.)</p>Romuald Swieconekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17027876465584399729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555551180413017139.post-1082619815816210862011-12-17T11:33:00.002+01:002011-12-17T11:34:28.229+01:00N°299 : And now I'm a professional, Fuji S2 Pro.<a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6524917953/"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid" alt="" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7015/6524917953_88e9d488d1_m.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6524917953/">And now I'm a professional, Fuji S2 Pro.</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/">ishoothorizon</a></span><br /><br /><p>Dated from Januari 2002, this DSLR from Fuji has it all : Nikon F-mount, the technical aspects of a modern DSLR, a 6 Million pixels honeycomb sensor that can be interpolated to 12 Million pixels, and 6 batteries!

I bought this filter thinking is was an easy way on my DSLR. But I was wrong, in broad daylight there is nothing to see... So puzzeling around in my photogear I made this combo : Leica M8, an Nikon F-mount adapter to LTM and for the lens a Nikon Serie E 28mm, 1 : 2.8. The rangefinder can be used and everything is clear! The lens is not the fastest but it works very well and it has the "red dot" needed for actual infrared focussing.<br /><br />Here the link to an example.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/5984365340/">www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/5984365340/</a><br /><br />The sensor is not to bad to infrared, some postprocessing is needed.<br /><br /><a href="http://ishoothorizon.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">ishoothorizon.blogspot.com/</a></p>Romuald Swieconekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17027876465584399729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555551180413017139.post-87330141234113068702011-12-04T15:09:00.003+01:002011-12-04T15:10:55.252+01:00N°296 : Emeric's Gift : Rollei SL35 M<a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6452627795/"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid" alt="" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7006/6452627795_285c1ba4ba_m.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6452627795/">Emeric's Gift : Rollei SL35 M</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/">ishoothorizon</a></span><br /><br /><br /><p>Just to thank Emeric Debusschere for the gift., I wish him strenght for his forthcoming medical intervention en recovery.<br /><br />Emeric Debusschere is the guitarist of Diskonnekted, <a href="http://news.diskonnekted.com/" rel="nofollow">news.diskonnekted.com/</a></p>Romuald Swieconekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17027876465584399729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555551180413017139.post-52464616079339544072011-11-30T12:35:00.002+01:002011-11-30T12:36:38.621+01:00N°295 : Leica M8 with Russian Industar-22<a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6430195427/"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid" alt="" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6430195427_b2488f070a_m.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6430195427/">Leica M8 with Russian Industar-22</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/">ishoothorizon</a></span><br /><br /><p>If you don't want to break your wallet empty with Leica lenses, a nice option is to buy a russian copy of early Leicas, like the Zorki or Fed. They cost on Evilbay around the 50 Euro, then a 50mm M39 - LTM adapter on the same site for 10 Euro. This one has the Industar-22, in fact a russian copy of the Elmar. The results are maybe not so perfect as the Elmar, but they are pretty acceptable. You got also this typical ancient feeling to shoot analog on digital.<br />At the end my M8 told me : "What have I done to deserve this".</p>Romuald Swieconekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17027876465584399729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555551180413017139.post-60372933933962974422011-11-30T11:23:00.002+01:002011-11-30T11:39:27.996+01:00N°294 : Konica Autoreflex TC, The Art of Duct-taping<a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6429980041/"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid" alt="" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7170/6429980041_98ebf3a342_m.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/6429980041/">Konica Autoreflex TC, The Art of Duct-taping</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ishoothorizon/">ishoothorizon</a></span><br /><br /><p>So, my leatherette is shitty and I like to preserve my beloved SLR, ...let's think,...?<br />I got some black Duct-tape in the drawer from my garage that fits perfectly as leaterette replacement, let's do it!<br />The fact that I'm not very handy in doing suh things doesn't matter...<br />A gift from Peter Carly, found on fleamarket for 1 Euro.</p>Romuald Swieconekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17027876465584399729noreply@blogger.com0
