Canon P 📷 🎞️ Introduced in 1959, the Canon P (short for “Populaire” apparently) is a fully mechanical 35mm rangefinder built around the Leica thread mount (LTM/M39). It features a bright 1:1 viewfinder with 35mm, 50mm, and 100mm frame lines and a focal-plane shutter with 1sec to 1/1000 + bulb. BYOM (bring your own meter 🙃)

Simple, solid, and well built, the Canon P is a favorite among Canon rangefinders, and it’s a great way to put excellent LTM glass to use without breaking the bank on a Leica body.

The Ondu 6x6 Pinhole Camera 🎞️ something a little bit different. Instead of a typical lens, light passes through a tiny aperture, producing nearly infinite depth of field. Exposures on this handmade medium format pinhole camera can range from seconds to hours.

Pinhole photography is part math, part intuition, and a lot of trial and error. At its core, a pinhole camera is simply a lightproof box with a tiny hole- one of the most basic camera designs ever made.

📍Stop by and check out this camera in our Marin County, Ca shop. The Ondu 6x6 camera is also available in our online store and can be shipped anywhere in the US.

Brooks Veriwide 120 📷 Introduced around 1965 as the successor to the Plaubel-Brooks Veriwide 100 (sound familiar? See previous post 😉), the Brooks Veriwide is an ultra-wide 6×9 medium format camera built around a 47mm Schneider Super-Angulon lens.

Early models used the 47mm f/8 Super-Angulon, while later versions like this one were fitted with the faster 47mm f/5.6.

The Brooks Veriwide produces 8 frames per roll of 120, compared with the 7 larger 6×10 frames of the earlier Plaubel-Brooks Veriwide 100.

Stop by the shop this week to compare these two Veriwide cameras side by side or check out all the info in our online listings. Nationwide shipping available 📦🚛

The Brooks-Plaubel Veriwide 100 is an unusual piece of panoramic camera history. Introduced in 1959, it was designed in the U.S. and built by Plaubel in Germany.

It shoots 7 panoramic 56×92mm frames (6x10 format) on 120 film, paired with a fixed 47mm f/8 Schneider Super-Angulon covering roughly 100 degrees. The Synchro-Compur leaf shutter runs from 1 sec to 1/500 + B.

A Leitz-built optical viewfinder completes the setup, bringing together Plaubel, Schneider, and Leitz components in one camera.

📍Come see the Veriwide in our San Rafael, CA shop. If you’re not local to Northern California, we offer nationwide shipping, so check out all the details in our online listing.

The Konica Hexar AF Silver- a cult-classic 35mm film autofocus compact camera featuring a fixed 35mm f/2 lens, a rangefinder-style metal body, and an exceptionally quiet leaf shutter.

Fast, quiet, sharp, and one of Konica’s most interesting 35mm cameras. This one is in excellent condition. The protective clear plastic coasting is still intact on the baseplate, so we assume it’s seen very minimal use.

Come see it in our Marin County, California shop or check out the online listing for more information.

The Hasselblad Zeiss Distagon 40mm f/4 C is the widest lens ever made for the Hasselblad V System, offering an 88degree angle of view which roughly equivalent to a 22mm lens on full-frame.

Introduced in the late 1960s, it features a built-in leaf shutter with flash sync at all speeds up to 1/500 sec and focuses as close as 0.9 m (3 ft). A later 40mm f/4 FLE version improved close-focus performance, but the original C remains a legendary ultra-wide.
