  • Carl Zeiss Oberkochen Large Format Lenses 1950-1972
    Large format lenses from Carl Zeiss Oberkochen 1950-1972 © 2013-2019 Arne Cröll – All Rights Reserved (this version is from October 4, 2019) Carl Zeiss Jena and Carl Zeiss Oberkochen Before and during WWII, the Carl Zeiss company in Jena was one of the largest optics manufacturers in Germany. They produced a variety of lenses suitable for large format (LF) photography, including the well- known Tessars and Protars in several series, but also process lenses and aerial lenses. The Zeiss-Ikon sister company in Dresden manufactured a range of large format cameras, such as the Zeiss “Ideal”, “Maximar”, Tropen-Adoro”, and “Juwel” (Jewel); the latter camera, in the 3¼” x 4¼” size, was used by Ansel Adams for some time. At the end of World War II, the German state of Thuringia, where Jena is located, was under the control of British and American troops. However, the Yalta Conference agreement placed it under Soviet control shortly thereafter. Just before the US command handed the administration of Thuringia over to the Soviet Army, American troops moved a considerable part of the leading management and research staff of Carl Zeiss Jena and the sister company Schott glass to Heidenheim near Stuttgart, 126 people in all [1]. They immediately started to look for a suitable place for a new factory and found it in the small town of Oberkochen, just 20km from Heidenheim. This led to the foundation of the company “Opton Optische Werke” in Oberkochen, West Germany, on Oct. 30, 1946, initially as a full subsidiary of the original factory in Jena.

  • DSLR Astrophotography They Say… Start with a Joke
    DSLR Astrophotography They say… start with a joke. DLSR Wide-field Astrophotography The Advantages It’s Relatively Inexpensive All you need is a DLSR camera …and a tripod You Don’t Need This! Nikon v.s. Canon Most DSLR astrophotographers use Canon cameras. Canon releases the details of the camera’s software. This allows the development of third party software, designed specifically for astrophotography. Nikon does not create a truly raw image A simple median blurring filter is always applied... removing many stars, as they are seen as noise. This prohibits precise image calibration. Some Nikons allow the “Mode 3” work around. Using Nikon’s Mode 3 Simply start the bulb time exposure and terminate it by turning off the camera. The camera sees this as a low-power warning and immediately saves the image without running the median blurring filter Testing For Mode 3 Availability Take a one-minute dark exposure in Mode 1. This is a raw image with “no noise reduction” selected. Take a one-minute Mode 3 dark exposure. If Mode 3 is available, that exposure will have noticeably more hot pixels and noise. For Starters… Keep It Simple Set the focus to infinity... before it’s dark Mount the camera on a sturdy tripod Use a wide angle lens (18mm is nice) Set the lens to its lowest f-stop Use the RAW image format, at the highest ISO setting Shoot 20-30 second exposures Take about five dark exposures (more on this later) …and you can get an image like this! Nikon D40X 18mm @ f/4 ISO 1600 Mode 1 4 30-Sec exposures 4 30-Sec darks After taking several Milky Way shots it may be time to get more adventurous.

  • So You Want to Do Long Exposure Photography? in Daylight? What Do
    So you want to do Long Exposure Photography? In Daylight? Not sure where and how to start? You've come to the right place! The above image shows one of the most important pieces of equipment you will need: It's called an ND Filter. ND stands for neutral density, which simply means that the filter is able to reduce the light that reaches your camera sensor (or film). The 'neutral' part means that the filter (should) do so without any color shift. Think of it somewhat similar to a pair of dark sunglasses. Using such a filter will let you achieve long exposures of several minutes in broad daylight. If you didn't have such a filter, your images would be completely 'blown out', because too much light would reach your sensor (film) causing any images to be completely white with no details left (that's what blown out means). If you do NOT have an ND filter, you can still do long exposures, but you would have to do it at night when it's dark. What do I use: As pictured above, I use ND Filters made by B+W predominately. I also use other brands such as Hoya and Tiffen. All of these filters come in various 'strengths', the darker they are the more they reduce the light reaching my sensor (film) which results in longer and longer exposure times. Your exposure time will be longer the darker (or stronger) your ND filter. Exposure time also varies with the amount of ambient light, the brighter your surroundings the darker (or stronger) your ND filter has to be to maintain long exposure times.

  • Understanding the EOS 250D Especially Written for Canon EOS Users
    Understanding the EOS 250D Especially written for Canon EOS users A fast track guide to understanding how to use the EOS 250D’s key controls and functions Contents include: • Camera layout • Exposure modes • AF controls • Key camera overrides • Menu options in-depth • Customisations • Custom functions Written by Nina Bailey About this book PREVIEW EDITION The EOS 250D is an ultra small and light model within the Canon EOS line up. However, it is packed with advanced features that allow you to capture a very wide range of subjects. There are also a whole host of creative features allowing you to create special effects and therefore be less reliant on post production. I have historically produced two separate books, when covering the models in the EOS range. However, what I am finding is there is a significant amount of repetition needed to ensure that someone only getting one of the books has all the relevant information they need to operate the camera. So with smart devices now having more storage and download speeds getting faster all the time I have combined what was two volumes into a single book, which does allow me to provide better navigation around the book using hyper links. It is designed to present the information in a much more accessible way than is found in the manual and is liberally illustrated throughout with screen images and also images to show what the features actually do to the images that you take. There is also a companion Pocketbook available to provide a small A6 size guide that is easy to take with you when shooting, to help you remember how to set the key features on the camera.
