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.

There’s a local company called 21c Promotions that puts on antique fairs/flea markets and retro design events once a month at rotating locations. Last month’s event was an antique fair at the Croatian Cultural Centre on Commercial Drive.

I came across a pair of interesting opera glasses on ebay that I thought Naomi might like. I bought it for $9.99 along with an old Russian camera lens that was shipped all the way from Belarus.

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.

Treasure Hunting: The Goodwill OutletPosted by: ryan @ 10:18 am in travel, vintage finds |
Last weekend, my family and I zipped down to Portland (again) for a quick shopping trip and while we were there, went to visit a Goodwill thrift store. In Vancouver, the equivalent would be The Salvation Army, or Value Village.

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.
