Article About Releasing The Wizardry Of The Canon GIII Camera

Many photographers have a soft spot in their hearts for film photography, and the Canon GIII camera makes sure that such moments are captured in their most natural state. Its rangefinder mechanism offers perfect focusing, making it simple for photographers to take astonishingly crisp pictures. Images created with the Canon GIII's outstanding optics and the distinct appearance and feel of film photography have a timeless character that cannot be matched by images created using digital cameras.

So I just got this thing.

Has some issues.

One can be worked around, the other can be fixed.

Looking forward to using it, but just in case does anyone know of someone in the U.S. that does old camera repair?

All the way back from 2007. my wife asked me the other day... my birthday... is there anything you have not done or anything that you would change in the past... THAT is a bit of a loaded question. The quick answer was, I really don't know. Of course what comes out of my mouth and what goes through my brain and heart are generally different. If it weren't that way I would be locked up on some island somewhere... or most likely not of this earth anymore. I will stick with this question in the realm of photography: I have no regrets about how I started in photography... I was young, had taken some art classes as a child and seemed to have an eye of it. In my teenage years, I remember everyone making fun of my dad for cutting off tops of heads with his snapshots of family. Probably around age 15 I found my dads camera. A 35mm Petri35 rangefinder. I never saw him use it but I grabbed it and loaded some color film. No idea what I was doing and teaching myself along the way... Badly I might add... I created a bit of friendship and respect with the camera. I loved aligning the images in the view finder, the smell of the back of the camera, and the heft of the camera... the light click of the shutter. Those memories are vivid to me. I took pictures of my friends and their cars, trees and flowers... then the next stage of life was the Army. I have a Pentax K1000 and a zoom lens. More photos of friends and maneuvers in the field. Travel photos, I was stationed in Oklahoma, California, Germany & Pennsylvania. Binders of 35mm negatives and color slides... to be destroyed by me through my ex wife... That is a regret ( I should have taken those binders and all of my gear. ) Jump ahead to a new life, a new 35mm Pentax ZX30. It was a good camera but felt like plastic, lightweight and cheap... Digital was in full swing by then and I got a Canon 20D... and my first trip out west to shoot with professional models... probably my next regret can 10-15 years later when I stopped shooting with models. I became a little bitter that I was not able to afford the fees. I was shooting with friends and we were splitting the fees, but I still wasn't happy. I felt self conscious when working closely with even friends... I soon just stopped making up bullshit excuses... and now I pull up old photos like this and relive my happiness if only for a few minutes. I tried to get back to shooting models maybe 5 years ago, and my experience was less than good. The model was rude, rude in front of another photographer and model. I just walked away... never got back on the proverbial bike again. That's a lot to unpack... one of the things I did as a photographer was print images for my models... this is Savannah Costello, I had sent her 5 large mounted prints from our shoot. She messaged me when she got her 1st house and thanked me because she had our photos to hang on her walls... Maybe another regret in this digital world is how many photos live on an old hard drive or only in digital realms...

Think fast!

1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14

It's Molniya! Thank you! I've been wanting to do this for a while!

Are there any in-sys friend groups that wouldn't happen in canon, but make sense to you?

It's me and Clockwork. Where we're from, we'd be on opposite sides of a war.

2. What source do you have the most fictives from?

It's a tie between Project Guardmaid (a story that Katja is writing) (where I'm from!) and Mobile Suit Gundam. I guess all of us are OCs.

4. Who has the coolest name in your opinion?

To be honest, I think it might be me. It's a mispronunciation of the Russian word for lightning, but I like it a lot. A close second is Rust. Very charming, very simple.

5. What's your favorite thing about your source?

Probably the magic. It's a blessing and a curse. You can do so much.

9. What's a quote or lyric that reminds you of yourself?

To be honest, I could give you a rather intense answer, or I could give you an equally intense answer with a fair helping of introspection. I'm giving you both.

One is from Unjust Depths. I'm no pilot, but something about it really speaks to me.

"Interred in a tomb of steel, the rangefinders and cameras became her eyes. And the guns were the only hands she had, and shooting was the only touch she had left."

Another is from a clicker game called ALTER EGO. One of the characters analyzes you based on how you tell a story(I believe that's how it went), and the last part of her read on us resonated with me very well. I'll post the whole analysis because it also painfully accurate, but I'll highlight the part I'm talking about.

"Deny stable values / Pure Self-Denial.

You must truly hate yourself. With the ability for deep self-analysis, it's so easy to find things to loathe about yourself. You're very pure and connected to your own inquisitive nature. You've never forgotten what it is to be a child, and you tend to thoroughly investigate whatever catches your fancy. You're both incredibly pure, and awfully dangerous. Never fear. There's a place for you here."

11. Who's your best friend in-sys? Would your sources be friends, do you think?

It's Clockwork. Again, we'd be killing each other in an always-war. But once it ended... maybe. Probably. It took me a long time to see automatons as people, but I got there. Earlier than most of my kind, really. Most automatons are more human than any of us ever were. I remember dancing with someone like her post-war, in an underwater manufacturing plant turned university. Huge ballroom, glass ceiling just 30 feet below the surface at low tide. It was beautiful, the way the waves twisted the sunlight down upon us. I traded partners with some officer and this blank-faced automaton girl took my hand. Her voice was lilty and robotic, which was... very strange, considering that most every other automaton I've ever met spoke just like any human would. Great dancer. I think we danced 3 separate times that night. I don't remember much else. Was that her? Probably not.

I've gotten way off topic. I felt like sharing.

12. Do you miss anyone from your source?

Laika, my... lover? She was so cocky and it drove me insane. Gaia's most charming vehicle mechanic. I hope she's doing okay. I hope our daughter is doing okay.

13. What do you look like in the head? How does that compare to your source? The body?

I look almost the same, lithe and toned. Shoulder length silver hair(It's kind of swoopy!) and dull red eyes. Although I dress a lot more informally up here than I did where I'm from. No uniforms. Skinny jeans and long sleeve shirts mostly. Turtlenecks too. Sometimes I wear a plate carrier. Occasionally. Body armor is like a bulletproof hug. It's comforting.

14. What's your favorite song?

One of my favorite cameras in my collection is this counterfeit Canon I got at a Goodwill a few months back. There's a number of these cameras on the market under various names, usually close-but-not-illegal names like Canomatic or Olympia or some shit but mine says straight up CANON on it with the stylized text and everything.

(above: example of the same camera under the Canomatic name)

These things are made by the Ouyama Corporation in Taiwan, and needless to say they are a load of cheap dogshit. The lens looks removable, even has a button for it, but the button is fake and the lens doesn't come off. In fact, the large lens itself is fake, there's a tiny glass lens in the base of the lens. To distract from the all-plastic construction there are heavy lead weights inside to give it a professional feel. The flash it comes with is weighted too but if it wasn't it'd actually be a really solid flash. The camera takes AA batteries which is weird.

A couple observations:

Shoots 35mm even though some other branding markets them as digital cameras.

Rather than auto-rewinding the film at the end of the roll, you have to manually turn the dial (which on a real SLR would be for shutter speed) to a rewind option and press the shutter button.

The aperture is a square which I hear results in weird triangular bokeh.

Has an adjustable aperture and at least some light sensing capabilities, as if you cover the light sensor or it's dark and you don't have the flash on it actually switches to bulb mode, though without anywhere to attach a shutter release cable to, it's not very useful.

For some reason there's two viewfinders, a second lens top-down one like a TLR would have, and a rangefinder on the left. The top-down view, I assume, tries to replicate the focus of the lens, since it's blurry until about five feet out.

The timer does work but it counts down with this insanely loud annoying beeping like a smoke alarm.

There is no ISO setting and no pins to detect ISO from your film roll (I use plastic self-rolled cassettes anyway so it doesn't matter).

You CAN in fact actually take pictures with it. It is despite everything a real camera.

(Photos from this JCH article by Joe Aguirre, 2012)

There's not much info on these cameras but there's a Camera Wiki page and an article on Japan Camera Hunter about various forms of this thing if you want to know more. I'm excited to shoot a roll on this and see if anything at all turns out!

An early photo from Patreon.

My Ricoh is my most fiddly camera for me to shoot on.  For a start, it's fully manual, and I'm half blind, so I have intense difficulty getting it in clear focus.  Most of my film cameras are so old, the lenses are fixed focal length and aperture.  A couple can change the aperture by sliding a plate in and out between two or three options, but you still can't really zoom or change the focus at all.  This benefits me, because without autofocus, I'm kind of left just stumbling about in the dark.

But my Ricoh has so many tiny little problems that it does not matter at all.  The shutter sticks a little bit, the light metering is all wonky and doesn't work all that well, and the light leak ranges from non-existent to tremendous from shot to shot.  My inability to see through the rangefinder hardly matters at all when the camera is actively working against me half the time.  It's not so broken that it's unusable, but it's just broken enough that it produces photos on the same quality of all my other wonky old antique cameras that also have minds of their own.  When I want sharp quality, I use the Canon with its autofocus and its light meter that can use the ISO I've set to determine the shutter speed.  When I want to be surprised, I use film.

And even though my Ricoh weighs as much as a house, and has probably the most problems of any of my cameras, it's definitely my favourite film camera to take out when I go on adventures.

i'm so good at photography

it was 2010 when all i had was a dream to own my very first dslr, i made some money from graphic design commissions and bought one, it was a nikon d3100... weeks before i got it i was watching youtube videos on iso, shutter speed & aperture so that i'd be able to shoot manual mode when i got it... you would have thought i was shooting for years the way i was getting all my exposures and compositions right... i got a job at beaches (sandals) as a resort photographer where i did photoshoots in the evenings and roved the beaches and waterparks by day taking pictures of kids... all those images i took, hundreds of thousands that helped to hone my skills, there aren't many shooters like me with the experience that i have... when 2012 came around i left sandals and started working on cruise ships, during the training in miami i said that i wanted to document my travels on film so i made an eBay account and bought a yashica, that's how i started shooting on 35mm... during my contract i didn't really like the yashica because i thought i wasn't getting any good shot or if they were in focus because it was a rangefinder so i bought my first slr, a canon ae1 program... this is when i started to shoot like it was my last day on earth, loved that camera so much.. i had it with me in europe, Australia, south america, alaska and hawaii.. all that time i was still shooting digital on the side so i got a nikon 610 which was my first full frame digital camera and a 85mm to go with it, that was such a nice combo... i left cruise ships in 2015, there was no way to develop my film rolls in jamaica so i decided to start developing from home.. after about 2 years i decided i would just shoot exclusively on film and that has helped me to develop my skills so much... i learned stuff like sunny 16 & the zone system, now i hardly use light meters in the day or even in the night.. i've come such a far way and i am so grateful for that you don't even know, all i do is shoot everyday even if it's one photo or a selfie, i just hope that all this time spent on my craft isn't wasted and i will start selling prints for thousands of dollars and get to go on assignments around the world...

Yashica YF: Yes, finally! A Leica-esque rangefinder

You may have noticed me alluding to a yet-unnamed camera that was in the shop for like forever. Well, I finally got it back, all nice and serviced. So now here is the big reveal: The camera is a Yashica YF! Never heard of it? I didn’t either until last summer. Back then, I had just been gifted a Canon Canonet QL17 G-III. This was after losing both the Minolta Hi-Matic 7s and the Olympus 35RD in…

National Camera Day 

Dust off an old digital camera, buy a disposable camera, or just fire up your smartphone and snap some pictures of your day to keep those memories forever.

The origin of National Camera Day is unknown, but it is used as a reminder for us to remember the existence of the camera and its many benefits. After all, how many other mediums can capture people and places so beautifully? How many other mediums can evoke smiles of memories past, or reminders of events that have shaped our lives?

The camera, in all of its many forms, is to be celebrated. This humble device has become a major part of our lives, and so, on  National Camera Day, snap some photos during your lunch hour, on your commute to work, or whenever a moment of inspiration strikes.

Of course, the way you take pictures probably won’t be the way that people did it before the advent of digital photography and smart devices. Readers of a younger generation will be reaching for their smartphones to take photos of the world around them. And even if you are somebody who was well-versed in the wonderful world of 35mm film and zoom lenses, you might still find yourself reaching for your mobile device instead of that vintage camera from yesteryear.

Still, no matter what type of device you use to take photos, do something this National Camera Day. We all need to express ourselves creatively, so let your juices flow when you’re out and about or pottering around in your home, and take some magical pics.

History of Cameras and Photography

Cameras and photography have developed substantially over the years, from its early roots with the French inventor Joseph Niépce right up to modern day digital photography.

Joseph Niépce was a French inventor and is most noted as one of the inventors of photography and as a pioneer in the field. He developed the heliograph; a technique used to produce the world’s first known photograph in 1825, the view from the window at Le Gras the families estate.

In 1839, Louis Jacques Daguerre took the first fixed image that didn’t fade. He is recognized for his invention of the daguerreotype process of photography. He became known as one of the fathers of photography. His method required 30 minutes of exposure. He named the process – the Daguerreotype. Tintypes were developed in 1856 by Hamilton Smith and decades later, George Eastman invented flexible and unbreakable film that could be rolled. This was the birth of the first Kodak that was offered for sale in 1888.

In 1925 the Leica I went on sale, and its immediate popularity spawned a number of competitors. Kodak was one such competitor, and they released the Retina I in 1934. Though 35 mm cameras were still out of reach for most people things would soon change with the introduction of the inexpensive Argus A in 1936. The Japanese camera industry began with the birth of Canon in 1936 with its 35 mm rangefinder. Japanese cameras would soon become incredibly popular in the West after the Korean War as veterans and soldiers stationed in Japan brought them back to the United States.

While conventional cameras were becoming more refined and sophisticated, an entirely new type of camera appeared on the market in 1948. While TSLR and SLR were still the rage this new camera would change the way people would capture memories. This was the Polaroid, the world’s first instant-picture camera where no film development was needed. Known as a Land Camera after its inventor, Edwin Land, this camera was able to produce finished positive prints from the exposed negatives in under a minute. This new camera took the market by storm as people no longer had to sit still for long periods of time in order for their photographer to snap a picture.

The first digital camera that was commercially sold was in December of 1989 in Japan, the DS-X by Fuji. In 1991, Kodak brought to market the Kodak DCS-100, the beginning of a long line of professional Kodak DCS SLR cameras that were based in part on film bodies. It used a 1.3 megapixel sensor and was priced at $13,000.

The first commercially available digital camera, in the United States, was the 1990 the Dycam Model 1. It was originally a commercial failure because it was black and white, low in resolution, and cost nearly $1,000 but this changed and soon became loved by photographers.

With the standardisation of JPEG and MPEG in 1988, image and video files could be compressed for storage onto a SD or CF card. With the introduction of the Nikon D1 in 1999 at 2.47 megapixels, this was the first digital SLR that was entirely by a major manufacturer. The D1 cost just under $6,000 and was inexpensive for professional photographers and high-end consumers. This camera also used Nikon F-mount lenses, which meant photographers could utilise many of the lenses they already owned.

By 2010, nearly all mobile phones featured built-in camera with a resolution of 1-2 megapixels digital video camera. Many cameras also featured built-in GPS.

How To celebrate National Camera Day

You don’t need to know the history of the camera to celebrate National Camera Day, but while we have given you a snapshot of the people and events that have paved the way for the cameras we use today, you could make a special effort to learn more, be that at your local library or by looking up facts online.

The most obvious thing to do today is to take some pictures of your own. Use your smartphone if that is your camera of choice, but if you do have access to a digital camera or something that still uses film, brush the dust off it, and take it out for a walk. Who knows what you might see when you’re out and about, be it a comical moment that you can later share with your friends, or a piece of rare beauty that you can capture in a photograph to be looked on forever.

Take photos of your family and friends too, and along with any other pictures you take, share them on social media if they were digitally taken. And why not gift a photo to another? If you have taken something that will have special resonance for another, print it off and put it in a photo frame.

Today could be the day to push yourself out of your comfort zone. So, you might put down your phone and use an actual camera for your photos, and you could take shots of something that you have never attempted before. It could be a sunrise or sunset, birds in flight, or a scenic view at great height, as just a few examples. Just be careful if you attempt that last one!

The Graflex Graphic 35 is a 35mm rangefinder.

The Graflex Graphic 35 is a 35mm rangefinder introduced in 1955 by Graflex as a replacement for the Graflex Ciro 35, the camera on which it was also heavily based. The Graphic 35 was designed in the US and earlier examples were made in Rochester although production shifted to Japan with Kowa later on. The lens and shutter were sourced from West Germany. The Graflex in 1959, 35mm film cameras began to take a larger portion of the market in the mid-1950s, and you are seeking a way to distinguish your cameras from the rest. The transistor radio only recently hit the market, and such electronic advances are not yet appearing in camera design. Especially with older camera companies who hired primarily mechanical engineers. Except for a few outliers such as the Miranda the interchangeable lens SLR is not yet a standard. Most manufacturers concentrated on fixed lens rangefinders during the 1950s. Canon and Nikon have only just unveiled their, yet successful, lines of SLR 35mm film cameras in 1959. In addition to this excellent balance of usability and capability, the Graphic 35 was one of the best values in photography at the time of its release. Costing just $77 for the version equipped with the 50mm F/3.5 lens and $98 for the faster F/2.8 lens, it was one of the most affordable full-featured 35mm film rangefinder-focusing cameras in production at that time.

The result of the camera’s combination of respectable performance, eye-catching new features and reasonable price was as we’d expect; it was popular. In just three years of production, the Graphic 35 sold approximately 68,000 units. I still used my Graphic 35 in 2024; that’s 70 years after someone in Rochester tightened the final screw and packed it in a box to be shipped to a camera shop. Cameras have come a long way in those 70 years, and yet the Graphic 35 remains a lot of great things, things that we still value in a camera today. It’s compact. It’s dense. It’s beautiful. It’s well-made and works like magic. Its knobs and dials and switches and levers actuate with precision, emitting the whirrs and clicks and the wicks that mechanical-thing-likers live for. In an earlier article, I called the Zeiss Contina a “clockwork camera” (a term that other bloggers and YouTubers have adopted despite a conspicuous absence of royalty checks). The Graphic 35 is similarly clock-like. I bought this Graphic 35 at the estate sale of Kirk Kekatos (founding member and former president of the Chicago Photographic Collectors Society) along with other cameras like the LaBelle Pal, Univex Model AF-4, Ansco Memo, Vest Pocket Kodak, and Bell & Howell Electric Eye 127. I had actually been looking for this camera’s successor—the Graphic 35 Jet—but couldn’t pass up a great deal on the Graphic 35 when I found one at the estate sale. And at the end of the someone came up to me with the Graphic 35 jet the person that bided for in the sale his cheque did not cleaner.

Canon Model 7 + Industar 61 55mm F2.8 This is apparently the final model from Canon, which copied Leica. It's a rangefinder camera with interchangeable lenses (L39 mount). It has a selenium light exposure meter, so it's still usable. I think the accuracy is pretty poor. I scanned the photos and corrected them quite a bit. It looks good in use, but the rangefinder is poor, so the focus is not good, and if you print it without correction, it's a disaster (bitter laugh). Or would it be better if I used a high-precision, high-end lens? Maybe a Summicron?

My cameras

Alternatively titled "oh god I'm starting a camera collection"

So this past year I've decided to get into film photography, for reasons I'll explain in a paragraph or two. What's followed is me spending a stupid amount on film and the like until I got to where I am now, with enough cameras that I need to figure out where the hell I'm gonna put them.

Instead of doing that though, I want to show them off and talk about them, because God knows that I'm probably gonna buy like 2 more cameras before I figure out what my actual plan is with them. I'll present these in order of ownership:

Canonet QL17

This rangefinder is the first film camera I owned, coming into my possession a few years ago but initially set aside to either sell or gather dust while I figured out what to do with it. When the thought came to it again last year, I used it as an opportunity to get back into photography, a hobby I had refused to let myself enjoy for a little while. I concluded that while I liked it, I wanted to get an SLR so I could have finer control of the composition of each shot, which lead to...

2. Canon FTb-n

I got it for pretty cheap (~30 bucks after shipping) on ebay in early December and have had issues with it, but I still really like it. It initially came with a 50mm prime lens but the 35-70mm zoom lens on it now arrived recently and I look forward to toying with it. The whole time I've owned this camera I've been troubleshooting it. At first I wondered if there was an issue with the light seals, but now I've realized it might be something to do with the film advance. The thing that hooks into the film can and lets you wind it back hasn't always been rotating for each wind, and I've noticed just today it's notably bent. I either need to get brave and see if I can fix it myself or find someone to hand it off to for repair, or else I'm just going to keep having shots not turn out on each roll.

3. Canon Photura

This is a goodwill find! I went in on a whim the other week and found 3 different point and shoot cameras, and had a good feeling about this one when i cracked it open only to find an old roll of kodak gold still wound up in it (battery was dead so I had no way of telling there was film in there). Tracked down a battery for it, and it works! for the ten bucks I paid I think I made out pretty good, as it honestly feels pretty nice to shoot with. Very touristy feeling, and its certainly strange to say that this camcorder looking thing is actually a stills camera, but I like it.

Now at the end of the list, I feel like I ought to say I'm not trying to collect canon cameras (though I do really want to get my hands on a t70 to round out the arrangement). I want to get my hands on a couple different nikon cameras, and I've been holding myself back from buying certain techy minolta cameras I've seen on local listings. This is just what I've had the fortune of finding for cheap. Thanks for reading!

Canon 100 f/2 for LTM, a Gem of a Lens

I bought a nice old school rangefinder lens at the PhotoFair show in Portland last month. It seems like there is something cool at every camera show and this time I found a gem. I have written about the Canon rangefinder 85’s on this blog, I love those lenses. This lens is one I have been curious about for years. The 100mm f/2 which was made in the early 1960s for Canon Rangefinders using the LTM…
