Scott - The camera on the left in the pic of three is not much bigger that the Nikon 2100 and would make a great tankbag camera. However, if it's not obvious from the pic, it's not actually a digital. In, fact, you can't even get film for it anymore (828).  |

Hey Ebear...you wouldn't happen to be into vintage fountain pens, knives and watches too, would you? If so, could be you're related to Bomber and me! We figure we must be long lost cousins or something. |

Dino,
I love that streamline moderne Kodak camera! That is one work of art! It is a thing of beauty. |

Glad you enjoyed it, Scott. It's a beaut. Kodak Bantam Special, this one built between 1938 and 1940. I bought it at a pawn shop in S.F. around 1970. Unfortunately it uses 828 roll film. |

Sorry you can not use it...but who cares! Put it in a plexyglass cube box and enjoy it for the beauty that it is. I wonder who designed it for Kodak? I am a big Raymond Lowey fan...it certainly has the look. |

You want to know who designed a camera introduced in 1938?!! Don't want much, do ya?

But Dino, of course I knew you would know. And that camera is very Teague. I like his work a lot too.
That was a great time for designers. Lowey designing buses for Greyhound, cars for Studebaker (up through the Avanti), Otto Kohler (sp?) designing the Hiawatha engine/train set, etc. etc., Lowey designing paint schemes for street cars (the streamlined PCC's- Cincinatti to be exact) and GMD train engines...it goes on and on during that period.
Thanks for sharing. |

"That was a great time for designers."
Yep, now all I need is a '36 Auburn Boat-tailed Speedster to drive in while wearing the Bantam Special on the neck strap. |

Dino,I went out with a girl in high school whose dad had a Boat-tailed Auburn,(supposed to have been owned by Sir Lawrence Olivier)and several other odd make cars he was into restoring.He would come into the auto parts store where I worked with these oddball parts and then we had to spend hours poring over the parts illustrations for points to fit a ----
Not only did he have several beautiful daughters,but an 8 car garage and a stunning 1969 Hurst Olds.My hero. |

Otto Kohler (sp?) designing the Hiawatha engine/train set,
Didn't Brooks Stevens do the Hiawatha? Might have been a different train. He did every right down to thw match books. The had one outside the art museum last year as part of a big show of his work.
He and those other guys pretty much invented the field, Stevens caught some crap early in his careet becasue he worked out of Milwaukee and had no interest in moving the business to New York.
He had a neat car collection that was open to the public but is was sold off on his death. |

Dave,
I will one day have to drag my Otto K. biography book out of storage to remember that one. Hey, Brooks Stevens had his day too. Now you got me wondering...maybe during the Turkey day work break will look for it and get back to you. |

Stevens is a local legenf here in Milwaukee. Designed the signature front end for HD in the fifties, did all sorts of stuff for the big local industrial companies like Square D and Allen Bradley. Some of the old industrial switches are beautiful as a result of his work, and these other fellows.
Steven may have done more non consumer work than many of these the others (just speculation) because he was in Milwaukee, one of the nations industial powerhouses particulaly back in the 30's 40's and 50's. |

Thanks Dave...Now I know who to blame for the Oscar Meyer WienerMobile. LOL
I saw it quite often in the early 1950's when we lived on Milwaukee's East Side and never saw or heard of it again until I returned in 2000. Sure enough, there it was (only updated) cruising around the East Side of town.
Made me feel like a kid again. Thanks for the memories. |

Wiener Mobile sighting --
in an unusual confluance of events, one friday a few years ago, the following were scheduled on the same weekend:
SCCA races at Road America
Dead Concert at Alpine Valley
going north on a local expressway was the largest herd of clapped out vans I'd ever seen, all with most windows completely covered with stickers -- about half the vans were towing really nice lookin production sedans and 2-seaters up the Elkheart, the other half were leaving trails of wondderful smells (!) -- big traffic jam at the last toll booth heading north!
in the middle of this mayhem was the Weiner Mobile! for a brief moment, I thought I'd been following the Deadhead vans a little too closely

Ebear - Film? Actually, there are a couple of my film camera that I'd use if I had a scanner that would take transparencies larger than 35mm. |

Dino that is the problem I am running into as well. Epson has a "platten" for 120 film, but the lightstrip in the top of my scanner isn't wide enough so I only get the middle 1/3rd of the 120/6x6 negatives my Kiev makes. What I have found, is my local developer, as long as I remind them to adjust the DPI and have them scan the images for 8x10 when they develop the film, will make a CD for me at the same time. Its gotten less expensive to have them make an index print, and a CD then to have them do individual prints of each frame. |

There's a woman, Heidi Vetter, that owns a 1 hour photo place near Yosemite who also happens to be an excellent landscape photographer working in 4x5. A couple weeks ago she showed me a print made from a scan of a 4x5 transparency on an Epson flatbed (the print was just a quickie for a friend, she does all her serious work the old fashioned way). I didn't check to see what Epson model or how it was equipped. Guess I should find out since I have an old 4x5 hidden away. I should be running into a week from this weekend.

flaws are due to a poor scan resolution. |

Nice shots Wycked! I particularly like the second one...very striking!
I loaded some Velvia 50 into one of my Mamiya TLRs and took it along this weekend...but too many distractions to get anything done! Maybe next weekend.
I haven't been able to get our inexpensive flatbed to do a decent scan of transparencies. Guess I'll need to get a real transparency scanner. I'm tempted (when I get something worth bothering with) to take a transparency to West Coast Imaging and have a Tango drum scan done...just to see. Type "West Coast Imaging" into google for a link - they're right near us in Oakhurst. |
