Fuji Rumors


I love this site.

http://www.fujirumors.com/

I am a Fuji Fanboy. Did i tell you that?.... Nop? Let me tell you that on another post but for now....

The new Fujica ST design (classic SLR look) is coming soon! Rumor has it its gonna be called X-T1...
pretty disappointed that it didnt get announced at CES 2014. But never rush an unready product or else you'll end up with a Vista..... Windows Vista..it sucks! Oh well its gonna be announced soon, maybe by end of January.....

http://www.fujirumors.com/x-t1-is-this-the-real-name-of-the-new-weather-sealed-x-camera-anonymous-source/


If they really design it to looked like that then i'm a guarantee buyer!!

I hope they dont alter the design too much like the olympus OMD EM5, its OM styling but just not too boxy for my taste haha...

and i hope this new X-T1 will have a tilt screen. i like having a tilt screen.

So the question now, should i still bid for the Xpro1? or i just wait for the Xpro1S and also get the
X-T1??

But GAS wants em all.....

Thanks Fuji, for making me buying your products. and slimming my wallet but not my belly.

Anyway, check out fujirumors if you havent already.

Thanks to this blog, i'm drooling for some of the cameras mentioned. Now i'm eyeing a Zenit TTL on ebay.

The boxy they get, the squarish or rectangulish they are, the all black them is, made me drool more.

Here's a Zenit. Pretty Cool Name too!


Have a Zenit.

I Bought The Olympus OM10

Notice the blog's background?


I love this old school SLR looks especially the olympus. Actually all classic SLR has similar stylings. But the one that made me GAS drool last time was the olympus models. Actually i wanted the digital Olympus OM's the OMD EM5..... but the look just didnt really make it for me. it did not look like the vintage ones. There are lot of pics on the internet where the olympus film and digital were placed side by side and i still drool for the film camera. The OMD EM1 is more towards modern SLR styling with the built in hand grip. i love flat, rectangular, boxy SLR.  Of all the classic olympus SLR models, the OM10 is quite affordable. There are lots available on ebay. I love the looks so much i decided to get me the old olympus camera rather than the digital ones. (This is also the start of my GAS to collect old film cameras.). Due to my time zone i had to wake up at 4am in the morning to check on my bid. I won the bid so i am right now still waiting for this camera to arrive. i've bought 2 Fuji c200 films to try with this olympus.

i cant wait.

Come to papa.

GAS: X-Pro1


Just made a bid on a used Xpro1 body only on ebay. Good luck to me. i knew i will lost this first bid cos its low bid haha.

i hope the seller is not insulted. lolzers

365 project


Last year i'm thinking to do a 365 project for 2014. Just one week into 2014 and i'm already lost to the challenge. Being the lazy me, i find it hard to take one picture a day. of course i could but then the picture could be just a snap of my feet or something i ate for the day. which i find so useless to post it online, i mean everyday??... of course comes 2015 i get to see what i ate in 2014. isnt that interesting??

tell me its lame.

GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)


Man, screw gas. just last weekend i wanted a leica badly, digital or film, i mean AND film. i wanted all the Ms, from M3, M2, M4-p, M6 and M7.

Then i got wise. i wanted a black leica and metered ones, so it made my choice a bit easier, i had an M6 to choose. i didnt want an M7. my leica choices was based on japancamerahunter's blog "which is the best leica M for you?" ... He likes the M6, .....and me, i'm just a beginner to leica, well what the hell, just follow the guy. so i wanted a M6. but now i want the M7 too. fu#k!


i want it in black!

Just last week, i wanted vintage point and shoot film camera, from konica to vivitar to rollei to leica and etc...

I also wanted compact 35mm rangefinders, starting with olympus 35 rc to yashica electro 35 to leica cl... not to forget contax, minolta and others that i can find on ebay.. actually i already add the olympus to my ebay cart but then i dont remember how to put in my paypal password via mobile phone keypad. but then i also want an all black rangefinder so i decided not to get the olympus, back to surveying cameras.


i want it in black!

i also have a look at russian, soviet cheap cameras, leica copies, namely FED and others which i dont remember the name by now...


NOW, i'm back to looking at Fuji Xpro1.... yes, i've been eyeing the Xpro1 for a while now but knowing the new version is around the corner i might just wait but my GAS is telling me to get the used Xpro1 on ebay, it cost almost half as new ones... damn... should i pull the trigger?



Just last week, i wanted to shoot with film, now i'm back to digital!

Knowing the flexibility of digital over film, made me think of shooting with films, i also can recreate film looks with VSCO. but something about that vintage look of film cameras just make me drool. everytime!

i also found out that i'm not really the "Trigger Happy" buy it now kind of guy anymore... that is very fortunate....i guess..... Back in the days when i was active playing music, i'm a trigger happy buy it now ebay guy, saw a beautiful fender strat, i would just click Buy it now.... Boom.... one click boom!

Boom my wallet that is....

i had like more than 10 guitars at that moment.

i've been saying i wanted a black camera, now i dont mind a silver leica m7. what the hell is wrong with me?


At the moment i want a Ricoh GR with viewfinder and hood. Oooh sexy!


Damn, what is wrong with me?
