If you’re wondering why people like Jeffrey Goldberg refuse to publish what they have, it’s so they can remaining in good standing with elite media types like this. The cost of publishing those texts isn’t legal, it’s social

shaking your cane and going argh will do something this time i’m sure, thanks so much

Hamdan Ballal is alive & free.

But let's say it again: Israeli settlers dragged an Oscar-winning filmmaker from his home, beat him half to death, then kidnapped him - all on the basis of his movie. Anyone in the trade who doesn't condemn this is a coward.

i got a fuckin 8x10 film camera on the way and if it doesn’t get here faster than is physically possible i’m gonna blow a fuse

have any of you ever heard someone’s breathing and just known their exact IQ

we’ve all got that friend who’s always lying but never got any good at it

like, if you just jammed the population of the nashville metro area into the equivalent of gaza for 20 years i assure you that significant terrorist factions would form

“We encourage Israel to abide by international law—” Well they’re fucking NOT. That is a useless statement, a PR tactic to distance oneself from the genocide one is supporting. “Civilians must be protected—” Well they’re fucking NOT. What are you doing about it? These ghouls!!

ladies let this be a lesson therapy did not make John Fetterman Less Racist

I love my little boy a lot and I can’t stop thinking about the kid exactly his age who was stabbed to death this weekend in Illinois by his 71-year-old landlord because the family is Palestinian

a silvery bag containing an ECN-2 processing kit for movie negatives, a cardboard box with an E6 kit for slide film, a small tin with 25 feet of double 8 millimeter Kodak Vision 3 250D, and a Lomo brand 8 millimeter film processing tank.

it’s all coming together

it’s gonna be weird to shoot from the side, but all i need to do to fix that is add one more mirror.

cheap 10x loupe

once you have light hitting your ground glass, you’ve got a screen. this one is very, very small, so i tore apart a cheap loupe to magnify it.

combination lens plate and reflex viewfinder; a lens flange is attached off-center on top of a rectangular plate. there’s a viewfinder tube off the left side. a platform for a pellicle mirror is directly in line with the viewfinder tube.

back side of piece; the bottom side of the viewfinder tube has a slot to insert ground glass

front view of a B&H 1-9 with the lens plate off. the shutter is open, showing the very very small 8mm film gate directly above the shutter axle.

light comes in through the lens and splits at the pellicle (socket shown in pic 1, rectangle with circle the middle); some light travels to a piece of ground glass (slot shown in pic 2, on viewfinder tube), while the rest passes through to the film (film gate shown in pic 3, above shutter disc)

Bell and Howell 252 next to my modified Bell and Howell 1-9; before modification these two models have mostly superficial differences.

left is the original B&H 252, with original 10mm lens and plate installed; right is my modified 1-9.

antique 8mm Bell and Howell camera laid on its back to show off a 3d printed lens adapter/reflex viewfinder, which replaces the original lens plate entirely. the crank has been replaced with a mounting plate from a small security camera.

okay, it’s not fully assembled because i don’t have a couple pieces of glass, but here’s my reflex viewfinder after a week of prototyping:

3d printer printing a part with black plastic

we almost have a B&H One-Nine reflex housing/Pentax-K adapter

i just need a pellicle mirror, a tiny little ground glass, and a dab or two of glue

my wife said i should build a camera, thinking i would take it easy, but i 3d printed a 4x5. manual shooting and developing my own film makes me feel like a mad scientist

sick! what did you shoot these with?

lmao they're gonna end up drone striking countries that don't even exist when that LLM starts making up fictional terrorist states

i’m gonna get one of these molds and secretly give people to-go rice cats at the restaurant
