The Pentax Auto 110 is a tiny beauty that is a joy to shoot with. It is a perfect SLR in a tiny package. The viewfinder is bright and the camera is dead simple to use. That being said, I am not horribly impressed with the results. Already enamored with the ME Super, this Auto 110…

Olympus Pen-F
What can I say, I have lusted after an Olympus Pen-F for a while. I have a weakness for half-frame cameras and the Pen-F is the pinnacle. When one became available from Japan, at a price I could live with, I snapped it up. Everything works, and works well, on this Pen-F. The controls are precise…

Perhaps most notable are the rock solid metal shutter curtains and the TTL metering system integrated into the mirror. This particular camera is sporting a Helios f2 58mm 44-2 scavenged from a trashed…
