A 35mm slide of a landscape with a large mountain in the background, a green valley in the foreground, and a clay-roofed, white-walled house at the very top of a large column of stone just right of centre. The house on the stone pillar is a monastery in Meteora, Greece.

What the heck, it's not too late for a #foundphotofriday. This is an Ektachrome slide labelled "Greece Metearo (sic) further on again, better view of stia (sic) Trniti (sic) monastery on a single rock." Dated May 1985.

Dream house.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN πŸ₯³

Americans, please be aware that you may be charged a 35% tax by your government upon import of any product we ship you. Or you might not! Or perhaps it will be a different number by the time your package reaches the border! Perhaps anything! Who knows! πŸ‘πŸ‘

Snap Crackle & Pop camera In a way, Kellogg and Kodak are very similar: both start with K, both manufacture popular consumer goods, and both were well known in the late 1800s for running a sanitarium that was famous for doing ...

Just in: You used to be able to get free cameras in your breakfast cereal, but now you can't any more, due to woke! Also due to woke, we are working towards a more just and inclusive society, which is a universal moral good, so maybe just pay a couple bucks for the cereal camera and deal w/ it.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 II The Olympus OM-D E-M1 II is a compact mirrorless camera with a high quality 16mp sensor, 5-axis image stabilizer, full 1080P video, 5fps continuous shooting with AF (10fps without), and WiFi connectiv...

Just in: This OM-D E-M1 II has some pretty impressive capabilities for stills shooting; video folks can disregard, you're only getting 4k30 out of this, not 16k240 5:5:5 or whatever you figure you need for that YouTube that people are going to listen to from across the room while making noodles.

Just in: Everyone's going to ask "where is the XPan" without reading the link so let me just say that we don't have the XPan, we only have some lenses, including this 45mm and a 90mm. You can buy the lenses from us, but you can not buy an XPan from us, because we don't have it. Thank you.

Lomography Fisheye Baby 110 This is a tiny reworking of the Lomo Fisheye camera, except for 110 film. Yes, it has a fisheye lens! A fisheye viewfinder too. Includes a roll of expired 110 film.

Just in: We also had this Lomography Fisheye Baby 110 but it doesn't look like either of us so I dunno

Just in: somebody in town used to make these tiny wooden tripods and I can't say for sure who it was but they sure got around. This is the third one we've seen, pretty impressive for a homemade product.

Just in: All I'm going to say about the Zf is that the ISO knob should've been closer to the edge of the body, not right up against the viewfinder. The rest is good.

Just in: Is a Pentax Auto 110 Super truly useful as a picture-taking device? Honestly, yes. Also you get to pretend that you are a giant while you're using it.

Just in: A semi-legendary telephoto lens for Mamiya 645 that also works like a charm if you adapt it to full-frame or medium format digital, this Mamiya 200mm f2.8 APO is remarkably small and light, considering.

Just in: sometimes you find a camera that makes you remember that, despite the fetishization of country of origin, a label that says "Made In Germany" doesn't imply any particular level of quality. Please enjoy this tin can.

Just in: I wish that I, Honorius Reiayanami Fumbleboob, was in the room when Pentax execs decided to throw away decades of brand equity and suddenly make their "Takumar" branding mean "entry-level budget line." Still a great lens, though.
