Just About Had It - Modern cameras are fracking toasters.

Oh yes they did - for 8mm and Super-8 ciné cameras. For example Kern made a 5.5mm f/1.8 Switar from the 1950s, and Schneider made a Leica-branded 6-66mm f/1.8 Optivaron in M mount for the Leicina Super.

 

Ah--of course!!

 

I'd forgotten those completely, though I used my share of 8mm cameras, and have a vintage Canon Super 8 camera in a cupboard here (from 1969 maybe?). The wide quality of that wasn't terrible in terms of distortion; it wasn't a great optic by any stretch, though.

 

I wonder too, what my Minolta 16P used to have in terms of a lens :) Wish I had it now, just to look at.

In November there will be a new film as a sequel to BSG, called The Plan. We just received the Caprica disc and will get to it when we're done going through the Blu Ray comlete collection of BSC. We're 1/2 way through season 3. Frack!

 

Ah--you still have a lot to go :) I saw the BluRay season 4.5; didn't know they'd all been released!! If I wasn't saving for a 24 Lux...

 

The Plan sounds interesting too. I believe Edward Olmos directed it...
