The Instax films are based on the old Polaroid films with some advancements from Kodak. So effectively, they are still Polaroids (even though the company doesn't exist any more). It's been a lot of fun with the Instax Share. My son naturally started to "wave" the photo to "help" with the...

I ended up buying the Instax. I ran a test image through both units from my phone, and for they are, I felt that the Instax had more of an experience to it. The image quality of the LG was a bit weird - felt artificially flat. I can't quite describe it - maybe it was overly sharpened. The...

Hey, quick one... how much did you pay for your PD239? I'm also considering this versus the Instax Share... based on all the reviews, looks like it'll come down to personal preference and usage scenarios.

Sold to a nice gentleman!

I've had the the X100 for a few weeks now and have taken it out on 3 "real" occasions now. You can see from my signature how I've progressed through my cameras (not shown is my Nikon D80, which I sold off). Despite all the "quirks" that users and websites have noted over the past x months...

For me, it was primarily the weight, and still being able to use many of my legacy lenses. At the end, it was just spending more time in my dry cabinet than going out with me. My E-P2 goes everywhere with me now.

I bought a Martin Fields screen protector for my GF-1, E-P2 and LX-3. They're a bit thicker and washable and re-stickable, so I thought it justified the higher price tag. They stick very well, no air bubbles or random corners or edges popping off. You can buy them here...

I bought the Pentax 25/1.4 from Chiif a while ago, and it's a 1".

You may want to look at this older post: http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=681609 I posted a link to a test image I took on the last post.

I played with the NEX-5 at the PC Show over the weekend. I only spent about 5-7 minutes with it, as there was another guy who kept leaning on (yes, "on") my shoulder to see what I was doing. It got annoying after about 2 seconds. Here's my quick impression of the new camera: There aren't a...

When I was in Tokyo in March 2010, I found the most accessories (leather wraps, straps, lenses, lens caps, etc, etc) at the BIC camera at Shinjuku. With Yodabashi and BIC both in Shinjuku, I didn't see a point to take the extra effort and hoof it over to Akihibara.

I have a normal UV filter (for protection) as well as a Circ-Polariser, both in 37mm. But I cheated... got them in Tokyo when I was there 2 months ago. No problems with vignetting on the CP.

@saboramos: While I cannot independently verify what this site has said, it (at the very least) provides for some interesting reading and sheds a bit of light on your question: http://www.rokkorfiles.com/Lens%20History.html Hope this helps.
