Vintage Digital Clock Rear View Mirror

These radios are amazing. Installed in my Jeep above my rear view mirror and I am stoked about it. It’s small enough to not be in the way but is great for communicating with fellow Jeep’s. I used the ghost antenna so that it didn’t get wiped out by limbs on the trail. I’m thinking of purchasing the 6db antenna to help increase my range. I feel you can’t go wrong with this radio! Will be purchasing another for my sons Jeep.

I bought a vintage lens that didn't come with a rear cap, works great.

I have a vintage Nikon 500mm mirror lens that was missing the original cap; it's a weird size, 88mm; gave this a try. With a layer of fabric tape on the inside rim or the cap it fits fine.

In the mid-1980s I bought a Nikon 7.5mm f5.6 circular fisheye. Being an older design (1966) its rear elements protruded into the mirror box. Fortunately my F3 had a hard physical mirror lockup. The external viewfinder for this lens attached to the camera on the original Nikon F/F2’s proprietary flash shoe. I was able to buy an AS-3 flash adapter for the F3. With the F3s mirror locked up I also had to use an hand-held light meter. With amazing depth of foield focusing was never an issue. The old zoom lens had six filters on a wheel. One was a skylight and the other five were strongly colored for B&W film. While I liked the circular results, using the lens was a hassle. I often had my shoes or forehead in the picture. On a sunny day, my images suffered from solar flares. My new Nikon 8-15mm AF-S fisheye has none of those old problems. It fits on my DSLRs without any problem. It doesn’t need an external finder or separate light meter. At the 8mm setting (and lens hood off) I get a circular image very much like the vintage fisheye. The new lens is faster and focusable. Like my 14mm f2.8 Nikkor, this zoom uses gel filters inserted in the rear of the lens. I really don’t like this arrangement. This fisheye is similar in weight and size to the 14mm lens. I am also not fond of the electronic aperture control first seen on G lenses. Without an aperture ring one cannot use this zoom on older cameras. At the longer end of the zoom range (12-15mm) the image fills the (FX) frame and lens hood stays out of the way. This image is similar to my inexpensive Bower (Samyang?) 8mm fisheye with its fixed lens hood (and DX coverage). So far I haven’t used my new lens much but I think I will like it.

I use the Tivoli Model One Digital Gen2 as my main alarm clock and speaker in my spare bedroom / office. PROs: It sounds amazing, especially given the small footprint. The cabinetry / wood / fit&finish is very good. And it has all the feature I need from a clock radio such as sleep mode and alarm. CONs: The user interface is a sadly many decades old with most of the features requiring the use of a controller and many screens to work through; very much not an up-to-date user interface. And it is a costly unit for what can be more cheaply obtained via a separate cheap alarm clock and an entry level Amazon Echo or Apple smart speaker.

This is my third iPad. My 3rd generation iPad Mini is a digital clock and my 5th generation iPad Mini is still working well. Of course, I would recommend any iPad. They are fast, secure, and beautiful. My B&H order was easy to place and the item was shipped immediately. It arrived a day earlier than I expected. Thank you!

Three two foot BNC cables were just right for my word clock setup with pro-grade digital audio. Cables are a bit thick and could be more flexible for bending, but that's okay for my application.

This works well as a head strap but it also works if you want to use it to wrap around something that may be easily scratched. This could mean the side view mirror of a car or maybe just to wrap around your pet. Over all, this product is one to have handy.

This rear cam is small enough to not interfere with your view out your back window. The picture quality is great!!!

I have just this year gotten back into film since the '70's. Scanning my negatives with a mirror less digital camera and macro lens just was not working easily for me. A friend suggested I try the Wolverine and I picked the F2D Saturn as I like 120 film. This digital converter is VERY easy to use and scans all the way up to 6x9 format! The quality of the images is on a par with my vintage Ikoflex , Rolleicord and Zeiss Ikon Nettar. This has made processing on my own much easier. I feel that now I can move on to the next phase of my B&W film photography!
