Description: Voigtlander Bessa R Rangefinder + 50mm F1.5 Nokton + 25mmF4 Skopar
Price: $800 neg

Film is making a comeback! Although not the Lomo or Holga fueling this comeback, this Voigtlander is a beautifully crafted 35mm rangefinder with a bright viewfinder and a screw mount. Think Leica! My camera is in very good condition except the rubbery back has signs of wear and tear. I believe you can get that re-wrapped at camera shops like Camera Hospital or those that sell and restore classic cameras. Two lenses are included: 50mm F1.5 Nokton and 25mm F4 Skopar. It’s a PR of my dry cabinet so everything is fungus free.

If you really like to play with classic cameras, then you’ll enjoy this. Shooting film is still a great experience and since it’s smaller than the typical SLR, it makes a great choice for street and travel photography. It’s not a Leica but then again you don’t pay the price of a Leica. The built quality is solid and it feels great in your hands. You can get more information on Camera Quest website.

Price: $100

Want to get tack sharp images indoors with your long lens? Or shoot sports without getting tired arms? Use a monopod like this one. Why not a tripod? Well, for easy mobility and movement. A tripod makes it difficult to swing your camera around and follow movement. That’s where the monopod is useful. You have one leg instead of three to extend, so it’s faster to setup and carry around.

This monopod has 3 sections with quick release making it fast to operate. Here’s a quick review of this setup.

Description: Lowepro Mini Trekker AW
Price: $70

Looking for a home for my Mini Trekker. This model has been discontinued but that doesn’t stop it from being a great bag. This is a victim of my spring cleaning and I realize I’ve been severely underutilizing it. Plus it’s a bit small for me now since I usually carry 2 DSLRs PLUS my notebook. The 1D and 5D with battery grip doesn’t leave much space for my macbook.

If you don’t use a battery grip, you can still fit in a notebook in the front flap. My 13″ macbook fits perfectly. But it’s a squeeze if you fit a large camera like the 1D. A bit more information can be found on B&H website.
