Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 26/08/2026A picture I took while visiting the in-laws in Ringgold, Ga., where Dolly was married. (Taken on the Minolta 7 with the 90mm Summicron on Gold.) 0230
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Finally out trying this photography thing again. 2461
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Got a kick out of this. My family has a place here that's been in the family for about 100 years. Used to be very middle class. Guess we're going upscale now. 020

Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Going to the pride film walk today and will see if my repairs hold. Had to get Ektapan because no one had any Tmax. 😉 2391
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Have you owned a camera a long time where you just noticed a feature? Just figured out the Rittreck's 4x5 back rotates. Did not know that. 0160
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 09/06/2026One last picture from the Kiev 60, Sonnar 180 and Ortho Plus roll. You can see pretty well how the lens and the film behave. #filmphotography 1471
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 08/06/2026A mini-review of the CZJ Sonnar 180mm. Not quite sure how it does wide open b/c trying to hold it up with WLF didn't work great. Stopped down, it's sharp. Background is smooth, but not the smoothest I've ever seen. One thing, never ever shoot a backlit scene with it. All w/Kiev 60 and Ortho+ 1150
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Can it be fixed? Maybe. Is worth it worth fixing it? Absolutely not. 1120
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Got the test roll back today for the Kiev 60 and 180 Sonnar combo. Didn't have frame issues and the lens is fine after I worked on it. Biggest problem was using the big lens and the WLF. Good thing I got the prism. This is with Ilford Ortho Plus. 6504
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Having had to do some research, I can say, by far, the biggest source of misinformation about film photography is Reddit. Best source is still some forum last updated in 2004. 6345
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Prepped for the #shittycamerachallenge. Kiev 60: Removed from body, unjammed, cleaned, new seals. Arsat C 80mm: Fungus removed from glass. Light leaks at close focus fixed. Sonnar 180mm: Cleaned aperture, removed oil from blades. Removed old helical grease and applied new. 6270
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Two minutes before the Kiev decided it didn't want to advance anymore. Lens worked great, though. 5230
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 31/05/2026First successful lens CLA. Looks like it's all in order. Got rid of the old grease and fixed the stuck aperture blades. Focuses correctly. So, camera with Volna 3 was $60 and lens was free because seller refunded me and told me to keep the lens. 4240
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Back at it this morning with the 180mm Sonnar. 2170
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Just caught this guy who has been roaming the neighborhood for the last couple of months. 3321
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Let's recap. Seller refunded my money and told me to keep the lens. Partially disassembled it with bad posture which put me on the couch last two days. While on the couch, I convinced myself I can do a full CLA, which I've never done before, after watching a YouTube video entirely in Russian. 2240
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 24/05/2026There's an ai gardening app running ads and it recommends salting the earth in the ad. 370
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 23/05/2026One guess on the repair needed on the ol' Carl Zeiss Jena here. 371
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Never underestimate me. I will always be dumber than the furthest reaches of your imagination. 5521
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Just confirming that the Arsat 80mm/Volna 3 does let in stray light through the stop-down tab at its minimum focusing distance. 050
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Kiev 60 for $60 is here. Made in 1996 and in pretty good shape. A little dent. Cleaned some fungus off the mirror, partially disassembled the lens and got it out of there. Glued some leatherette back. This one looks like it has a modified Kiev 88 finder. So, #shittycamerachallenge accepted. 5611
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 18/05/2026I actually did not mean to do this. Which is funny because it might be my only successful fungus removal project. 0140

Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I'm never going to bag on a reporter, but I find the tone of the video piece pretty funny.

Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 16/05/2026One of the Edmund Pettus bridge. For no particular reason this week. Taken on a Mamiya 7 and probably Ektar. 1311
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I was going to get on here and say I bought a Kiev 60 for $60 Tuesday, but then I saw #shittycamerachallenge is back. So to answer your question if Pentacon Six mounts are allowed, I offer exhibits A, B, C and D brought to you by my old Pentacon Six, the worst camera I've ever owned. 4331
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Used my Samy's gift card from Xmas to pick up the 210mm Sinaron S (Apo Sironar N). It's a good deal smaller than the Symmar S, which is really the only reason I got it. Will need to put them head to head now. 0341
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 08/05/2026One I didn't share from Mexico. This is Delta 100 and the Mamiya 7. #filmphotography 0390
Taylor Bright @taylorbright.bsky.social · 07/05/2026A few more from the Rolleiflex white face test roll (w/@ditchell.bsky.social in there). Sort of remarkable this pawn-shop find actually works. 1170
