Lincoln Highway, part 2 (Kodak Ektachrome E100)

by John Crane | Aug 28, 2020 | Color Photography, From the Past, Road Trippin', Slide Film

Lincoln Highway

Mirror-Up Shooting: It’s For Real

Mirror-Up Shooting: It’s For Real

by John Crane | Jul 23, 2015 | 6 Things I Love About the F6, From the Past, General Information, Mirror-Up, Technical, Technical Features, Uncategorized, Vintage Nikon

Recently I read a blog post from someone claiming Mirror-Up shooting was a hoax. A waste of time, something camera manufacturers dreamed up as way to add a new feature to the camera and charge more for it. A “Emperor’s New Clothes” hoodwink, if you...
