    Leica M2 – The sibling classic

    April 22, 2021 /

    The Leica M2 is a 35mm rangefinder camera originally sold as the alternative to the flagship M3. In recent years it has gained its own hype and is sought after. I have been using it for a number of years and have my own thoughts on it.

    Kiev 4 – The Non-Clone

    October 26, 2018 /

    The Kiev 4 is a beautiful, silent and graceful camera.  It has a classic rangefinder design which just makes you want to pick it up and start shooting with it.  Paired up with the well regarded Jupiter 8M Contax mount lens, it forms a formidable team. Especially with a very accurate focus, achieved through one of the widest available rangefinder bases, on paper it should be a dream to use. It is unfair to call it a clone, as it was manufactured using a significant number of tools and machines the Contax originals were made with.  That is because it was built with plans and equipment taken from the Carl…

    Kodak Retina IIa – Coat Pocket Rocket

    September 21, 2018 /

    The Kodak Retina is a camera that holds a certain amount of mystique.  It was made by a company that by the 1930s was more focussed on manufacturing film and generally created cameras to support that and the multiple formats they were introducing.  Kodak never seemed to aim for or achieve anything above a second tier camera manufacturer, but the Retina was different.  It was an attempt at a quality 35mm rangefinder, to compete on camera sales rather than just a supporting role. The Retina IIa is a 35mm folding rangefinder bellows camera, which fits well into a coat pocket, although it has a fairly solid, yet fiddly, construction.  It…

Miranda Automex III. What a camera would look like when crossed with a Chrysler Valiant. A 1960s SLR which looks stunning but has a less than good reliability factor. See how I got on with it in the latest review on PhotoThinking.
