Optics Theory -

This forum is aimed towards the TECHNICAL side of photographic OPTICS THEORY. There will be some overlap by camera/manufacturer, but this forum is for the heavy duty tech discussions. This is NOT the place to discuss a specific lens or lens line, do that in the appropriate forum. This is the forum to discuss optics or lenses in general, to learn about the tech behind the lenses and images. IF you have a question about a specific lens, post it in the forum about that type of camera, NOT HERE.

RFF is very fortunate to have a few outstanding volunteers willing to share their expertise with the RFF membership. Really folks, these people are among the best of the best in their specialties. Be nice and savor the chance to exchange thoughts with them! .

Tom Abrahamsson of RapidWinder.com

It is almost never that an inventor improves on a Leica product so that it is better than the original Leica product. Tom holds that distinction with his RapidWinder for Leica M rangefinders -- a bottom mounting baseplate trigger advance. In addition Tom manufacturers other Leica accessories such as his very popular Soft Release and MiniSoftRelease shutter releases. Tom is well known as one of the true Leica rangefinder experts, even by Leica. IMPORTANT READ THIS: CWE Forum hosts have moderation powers within their forum.

Bill Pierce - Leica M photog and author

“Our autobiography is written in our contact sheets, and our opinion of the world in our selects”

"Never ever confuse sharp with good, or you will end up shaving with an ice cream cone and licking a razor blade."

Bill Pierce is one of the most successful Leica photographers and authors ever. I initially "met" Bill in the wonderful 1973 15th edition Leica Manual (the one with the M5 on the cover). I kept reading and re-reading his four chapters, continually amazed at his knoweldge and ability, thinking "if I only knew a small part of what this guy knows... wow." I looked foward to his monthly columns in Camera 35 and devoured them like a starving man. Bill has worked as a photojournalist for 25 years, keyword: WORK. Many photogs dream of the professional photographer's life that Bill has earned and enjoyed. Probably Bill'

Jason Schneider - The Camera Collector

Jason Schneider is perhaps the world's most famous expert on camera collecting. Over the course of his long career he has been a photojournalist, a commercial photographer, and a camera test manager. For 18 years he wrote his incredibly influential Camera Collector monthly column at the still deeply missed MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY magazine where Jason was also Editorial Director. Modern was followed by his 16 year stint as Editor-Chief of Popular Photography, then the world's largest imaging magazine. Along the way many of his Modern Camera collecting articles were republished in the wonderful 3 volume set JASON SCHNEIDER ON CAMERA COLLECTING.

Focusing on a wide range of interests, Jason has been an avid photography enthusiast, writer, and lecturer a

Nikon Historical Society

The Nikon Historical Society was founded by Nikon Historian Robert Rotoloni. He is arguably the world's greatest Nikon source and historical authority. He is author of the best book on Nikon rangefinders, the incredible encylopedic "The Complete Nikon Rangefinder System." It is a must have for serious Nikon collectors.

Simon Says -- SimonSawSunlight Photo Technique

From time to time its been suggested that RFF have a mentor Photography help section in terms of Technique - how to shoot this or that. 1st of all I had to find someone whose work I really like. 2ndly that photog had to be willing help others. That's the catch: so many excellent photogs just are not wiling to make the time for that, or just as likely, simply don't give a damn about helping others. SimonSawSunlight is an excellent up and coming photog whose work seems to go well beyond his 24 years.

You can view Simon's work at http://www.simonbephotography.com/ and www.facebook.com/simonbphotography Simon has been published in in FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), LFI (Leica Fotografie International) and more recently in Radiate Magazine. He also recently had a large solo-exhibition in Berlin. Not too Shabby! So, let us begin this adventure and see where it goes. Than

Chris Crawford

I am pleased to announced a long time member has agreed to help and mentor others in photographic technique. As he has long done so, perhaps this forum is a bit overdue. Christopher Crawford has been a professional artist and photographer for 20 years, most of that time spent documenting life in northern Indiana with his photographs and the stories that he writes to accompany them. In addition, Chris also creates tutorials where he teaches photography techniques, film processing, digital editing, film scanning, and printing. Ask Chris your technical questions, or to critique your photos. You can see more of his tutorials at http://crawfordphotoschool.com

For the LOVE of COLOR...Post Yours

Leicas and other Leica Mount Cameras While not the first commercial 35mm camera offered for sale (that honor goes to the American Simplex in 1913) , Leica's overwhelming success starting in the 1920's really put 35mm photography on map. Over time Leica expanded into different lens mounts and formats. Add to that other camera manufacturers producing Leica mount cameras. This forum is dedicated to all things Leica and Leica mount.

SLRs - Exaktas, Exas, cameras & lenses

The Exakta system was the largest and most successful 35mm SLR system until the late 1950's . Now they are sadly forgotten, but picking up steam as their lenses are so easily adaptable in the mirrorless world. Dedicated to the diehard Exakta and Exa fans that recognize Japanese made SLRs are just a passing fad ..

Cameras in the Movies / TV / Media

If you are a photographer, it's difficult not to appreciate movies too. In this forum you can discuss movies, as well as the cameras used in them. What camera used in what film / TV show etc has long been a topic of discussion at RFF. Whether the Exakta and 400mm Kilfitt lens in Hitchcock's Rear Window or the Nikons in Eastwood's Bridges of Madison County, cameras are tools which reflect the time and technology of the film.

CSC : Digital Compact System Cameras -

This new category of digital Compact System Cameras with interchangeable lenses was mislabeled for a time as "Mirrorless Cameras" by those forgetting about "Mirrorless" Rangefinder cameras. Such confusion is easily understandable, since interchangeable rangefinder cameras were only recently introduced in 1932. hmm. CSC or Compact System Camera is probably the best category description to date, although I am fond of the old RFF desigation of CEVIL indicating Compact Electronic Viewfidner Interchangeable Lens. This forum is here at RFF because via adapters these cameras offer an inexpensive way to use rangefinder lenses on digital cameras -- in addition of just about every 35mm SLR lens you can think of. All offer the photo enthusiast an incredible array of adopted lenses which was not possible before these new digital formats. This group continues to grow in popularity and new camera m

Being a Photographer

Photogs / Photo Exhibits

This is the place to discuss a particular Photographer (work, style, life, whatever), as well as to post Gallery and Museum Photo Exhibitions and your own impressions of them. As we march on in this new digital world, it is often too easy to forget about the visual importance of the photographic print, as well as their financial importance to the photographer. It is also interesting to remember that some guy named Gene Smith shot with lenses that many lens test reading "never had a picture published in their life" amateurs would turn up their their noses at, as being "unacceptable."

Business / Philosophy of Photography

Taking pics is one thing, but understanding why we take them, what they mean, what they are best used for, how they effect our reality -- all of these and more are important issues of the Philosophy of Photography. One of the best authors on the subject is Susan Sontag in her book "On Photography."
