Sat, 31 Mar 2007 20:58:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - About Pentax The company has been around since dirt, and has come out with some amazing optics over the years. Just as impressive is that Pentax doesn't feel compelled to change their mount every few years, meaning lenses are swapable,...

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 09:26:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - Why I got the Compact Compos Tumbler I used to use the traditional pile method of composting and then upgraded to a black plastic bin which worked okay except my back started to kill me. And then one fine day when turning compost I...

Discover the other half of Photographic History

Fri, 29 Oct 2004 19:38:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - This is an amazing book. It's the ONLY comprehensive visual narrative and history of women in photography I have seen. Okay, to be honest, I've seen a few others, but this is the only book I can absolutely, heartily recommend. For starters, the book...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - Ilford is perhaps best known for its Black and White film.

Not the newest model but excellent bang for the BUCK

Mon, 2 Dec 2002 16:24:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - I can't believe no one has reviewed this film/slide scanner, because quite frankly it's an excellent value for one's money.

Let's first dispense with the question, who really needs a slide/film scanner. Obviously it would be someone who is an...

Agfa Vista 400 The Allstar Nagative Film 5HDFP: For those who want realism, Vista offers a choice

Sun, 1 Dec 2002 15:52:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - There's a new kid on the block and her name is Agfa. Well, to be accurate, this German company has been around for a long time, 1888 to be exact. But up until recently what they had to offer in the way of consumer color negative film left a little (at...

Substance over flash

Sat, 30 Nov 2002 23:08:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - Camera Arts magazine seems like it's a magazine from an era long since past. And I say this in only the best way possible.

For starters, it's inspirational. Often filled with lusciously printed photos, one is inspired by the work they see...

SWEEEEeeeeeeet Lens Offers OUTSTANDING SHOTS

Thu, 7 Mar 2002 19:13:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - In modern times, when folks consider cameras, one often hears the name of the big two manufacturers--Canon and Nikon. And while it's true that they have captured the professional market for 35mm users, that doesn't mean that other manufacturers don't...

Professional Tungsten Balanced SlideFilm

Wed, 6 Mar 2002 18:14:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - Quite frankly, I'm surprised to see this film up for review in Epinions, mainly because epinions seems to cater to consumer users, and this film is definately a niche film aimed at professionals.

This film is for taking slides, NOT prints...

Not Much Content other than Ads

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 20:45:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - Shutterbug isn't a completely worthless magazine. Sometimes when things get negative reviews, it's because they suck all around. This isn't the case with this magazine, which is why I put it in the negative column, but just barely. Let me explain......

Loosen up, the JoyCam is for fun

Sun, 15 Jul 2001 18:48:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author criticaleye - I read a lot of the negative reviews of the JoyCam and I gotta wonder if these folks are missing the point. The Polaroid JoyCam is an under $30 (sometimes under $20) camera that delivers INSTANT photos. Rather than coming in the form of the bulky...
