Chris Gampat The Phoblographer Ricoh GXR with Leica Hurricane Coverage (37 of 42)

Last Updated on 08/28/2011 by Chris Gampat

This posting is literally just an image dump. I’ve had the Ricoh GXRwith A12unit to mount Leica M mount lenses on for a little bit, and now that Hurricane Irene seems to have died down in Queens, NY I took it out for a bit of a spin. These images are largely unedited with the exception of resizing for the web. The entire gallery is after the jump. A full series of reviews is coming soon.

Hat tip to Gabe Biderman for the Leica lens loaners.

Do you have any crazy stories to share from Hurricane Irene? Or photos to show? Tell us about them in the comments below.

Opinion: I Dream of a Camera with a CCD Sensor Again

Digital photography in my opinion has become too simple; and that’s fine if you’re a beginner but I also think that it breeds a number of bad habits based solely on human laziness. You may call it evolution, but in the world of communications and journalism there is the idea that as we create technology, we become the technology. So we end up just relying on it to do all the things for us. And indeed that is true–I still laugh at my old teachers who told me that I’d never bring a calculator while grocery shopping. These days, I simply order my groceries via Fresh Direct unless I need something specific that I can get a few blocks away.

First Impressions: Zenit M Digital Rangefinder Camera

The Zenit M surely and absolutely is not a Leica; I’d instead say that if Voigtlander decided to team up with Leica and make a digital rangefinder camera that Zenit is giving you pretty much what you would get. For those of us who have held and caressed their Leicas with a bit too much affinity, you’ll know the difference on first feel and even a bit on look. But in all seriousness, I think that in a blind test that most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between this and a Leica M9. In fact, that’s what it feels most like.

Film Emulsion Review: Kodak Ektachrome E100 (35mm, 2018 Emulsion)

Kodak Ektachrome E100 was announced to be coming back to the market in 2016; and though Kodak took its time getting it back to the market I’m elated to say that it’s finally here. Before it’s latest death, Kodak Ektachrome was deemed by Kodak to be a replacement for Kodachrome. But indeed, it has never looked like that. Instead, Kodak Ektachrome has both a saturated look to it while also remaining pretty low contrast in its appearance and in comparison to the Slide film emulsions offered by Fujifilm. At the moment, it’s also still pretty tough to get your hands on some.
