To be perfectly candid, we are quite ambivalent about the Leica Mini Zoom. We think it is a fine compact 35mm but nowhere near as good as its brand name may imply. The camera itself was made in the Philippines and there is some debate about how “Leica” the lens on this camera really is. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Despite those questions, we try to find an even-handed stance on every camera that comes through (at least almost every camera, there are always exceptions). After all, if you are a proponent of the Holga as a camera capable of making exceptional images, then you can usually find advantages to any other camera. So here is what the Leica Mini Zoom has going for it.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 1) It’s compact - the Mini Zoom is about the same size as many popular fixed-lens compact cameras.⁠⠀ 2) It’s lens has a modest zoom range (35-70mm). Good enough for versatility without being so ostentatious that the quality of that lens overtly suffers.⁠⠀ 3) It has flash control. You might tend to overlook this feature, but not all compacts allow you to turn the flash off and that can be annoying.⁠⠀ 4) It also has an infinity lock as a focus mode. This feature can be a bit underrated but can help speed up the time it takes the camera to make an image noticeably.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Here’s where it struggles though.⁠⠀ 1) The lens is slow. At 35mm it is f4, at 70mm it is f7.6. Pretty much all zoom lens compacts suffer this, the Leica Mini Zoom is no different.⁠⠀ 2) The shutter speed range is pretty limited. The manual says it is ¼-1/300, not great on either end. But under most shooting conditions the camera will actually cap its lower limit at 1/30th. ⁠⠀ 3) While it is cheaper than many compact 35mm cameras due to the craze on these cameras right now, it is also more expensive than most zoom lens compacts due largely to its name. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So there is our abbreviated list. Would we talk you out of buying it if you were set on it? Of course not, you do you. But would we talk you into buying it if you weren’t already set on it? Probably not. We’d likely steer you toward a good Pentax zoom lens compact or an Olympus instead. But how about all of you out there using these cameras? What are your thoughts on it?⁠⠀

The Kodak Retina IIIS was a remarkable culmination to the Retina III line of cameras. At first glance, it is recognizable to any photographer familiar with the Retina IIIC but those surface similarities help mask a major design evolution. While most Retina IIIC users don’t consider the camera as a “system” camera capable of changing optics for wider or more telephoto focal lengths, it could… albeit with limitations. The Retina IIIC actually only changed out the front optic stack (with another stack left in place behind the shutter) and your options were limited to a 35mm and an 80mm optic. Better than nothing, but still very limited. Not to mention that with the additional optics in place, you could not collapse the Retina IIIC.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Then in 1958 Kodak AG (the German branch of Kodak responsible for the design and build of the Retina cameras) introduced the IIIS. The IIIS incorporated a significant upgrade: you could interchange the entire lens and the mount was the same as the already existing Retina Reflex SLR system. This allowed IIIS users to mount lenses ranging from a 28mm to a 200mm, with a 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm in between. And much as Leica had done a few years earlier with the M3, the Retina IIIS had multiple frame lines in the viewfinder for the 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm lenses. Kodak kept the behind-the-lens leaf shutter in place and that combination makes the IIIS one of the most versatile leaf-shutter rangefinder cameras in history. Add to the fact that since the lenses were designed for an SLR, they can also be easily adapted to many modern systems. We have a customer who was using his Retina Reflex lenses on both a Nikon SLR and a digital mirrorless camera.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The camera’s other features will be pretty familiar to Retina IIIC users: film advance lever on the bottom of the camera, a frame counter that counts down, interlocked shutter/aperture wheels to maintain consistent exposure, excellent Schneider and Rodenstock lenses and so forth.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The IIIS doesn’t come by very often, and sadly this one is not in salable condition, but we are still taken by the beauty of its design and wanted to share it for a day on here with all of you.⁠⠀

An interesting event took place in Japan in the year 1959. Olympus introduced a new camera, the Olympus Pen, which made an 18x24mm negative on 35mm film. This so-called “half frame” camera initiated a decade-long fascination with the format that saw several other Japanese cameras following Olympus’ lead. It is worth mentioning that the half frame format had been around long before the Olympus Pen. The second and third decades of the 20th century saw many half frame cameras come about as photography shifted from motion picture to still film. Anyway, as you might expect, as interest surged in the early 60s and camera companies devoted more attention to the format, the cameras themselves improved. It was during the second wave of half frame cameras, in 1963, that Fuji released their first half frame camera: the Fujica Half. A year later they followed it up with the Fujica Drive. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The Fujica Drive is essentially a Fujica Half with a spring-wound film advance. It is a pretty exclusive club that is attended by half frame cameras with spring-driven film advances. There is the Ricoh Auto Up, the Canon/Bell & Howell Dial 35, this Fujica Drive and possibly one or two others, but that is about it. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In terms of features the Fujica Drive uses a Fujinon 28mm f2.8 lens that is a decent performer. It has a selenium cell-governed auto exposure system but thankfully the engineers at Fuji opted to include manual overrides. By this age, many selenium cell meters are no longer active, rendering the exposure systems tied to them unusable. Such seems to be the case with our Fujica Drive. The meter seems to kind of respond to light but nowhere near accurately. But you can set the shutter speed on the bottom of the lens and the aperture above the lens and use a metering app or your own intuition from there! Its motor is pretty tired though, and in our test roll we had to wind it after every five frames, instead of the dozen and a half you are supposed to get with a full wind. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The Fujica Drive is nicely compact, it is really cute and this one came with an original Fujica Half box. If you want to adopt a new half frame camera, there'll be a link in the bio.
