Two quirky camera lensesPosted by: ryan @ 10:47 am in cameras & lenses, vintage finds |
It’s been a while since I’ve written a post about cameras, so today I thought I’d post about a few lenses I’ll be taking with me on a short trip. I’ll be packing my 5D and two quirky lenses – the Loreo 35mm F5.6 lens and the Jupiter 9 85mm F2.0 lens.

Restoring a Ichizuka Telinar 105mm f/4.5 lensPosted by: ryan @ 10:47 pm in cameras & lenses, diy refinishing |
A few weeks ago I picked up an interesting vintage camera lens designed by the Ichizuka Optical Company. This lens, the Telinar 105mm F/4.5, originates from Japan, dating back to the mid 50’s & 60’s. Very little is known about this lens and its manufacturer. The only information I could find online was on the Camerapedia website. Drawn by its aluminum build, quirky shape, m42 mount and $20 price tag I was curious to see what sort of images it could produce.

A Holga lens on a Canon DSLRPosted by: ryan @ 11:19 pm in cameras & lenses, vintage finds |
I first came across this quirky lens on the Holgamods website which could be used on any Canon DSLR. It’s a 60mm F/8 off of the cult classic Holga camera designed in the 80’s and still in production today. The plastic lens and use of medium format film gives the Holga its trademark vignetting & ghosting on the images it produces. Would it be possible to replicate a similar effect if I used its lens on a modern day digital SLR? I ordered one to find out.

Restoring an old lens: Jupiter-11 135mm F/4Posted by: ryan @ 12:11 am in cameras & lenses, diy refinishing |
During the summer months I photograph dozens of weddings. It’s a demanding job that requires a camera which focuses quickly and lenses that are sharp and vibrant. For any job I’ll use a Canon 5D with an assortment of L series lenses. When I’m not shooting weddings or commercial gigs, I like to experiment with old and unique lenses on my SLR.

A homage to my first SLR camera: The Canon AE-1Posted by: ryan @ 8:15 pm in cameras & lenses |
This is my very first blog post, so I though it would be appropriate to make it about the very first camera I ever owned, the Canon AE-1. Almost 8 years ago, I majored in Photography at The Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design. One day, I found myself sitting in Black and White 101. Since it was a 100-level course, most students had borrowed manual SLR cameras to see if they were interested in photography before investing in something bigger.
