135相機的鏡頭也可用來拍攝富士拍立得(Fujifilm Instax Mini)相片了!!!

The NONS SL42 Mark II camera was born for this purpose. It has a Canon EOS EF mount adapter suitable for adapting traditional camera lenses. With various adapters available on the market, it can adapt M42, Nikon F, Contax/Yashic, and other types of traditional camera lenses. To solve the problem of the framing ring of 135 camera lenses not fully imaging on Instax Mini photos, the manufacturer provides a 1.8x magnifying glass. It can enlarge the 24mm x 36mm imaging of 135 film to 43.2mm x 64.8mm, approximately equivalent to the imaging size of Instax Mini photos at 46mm x 64mm.


NONS SL42 Mark II相機就是為了這個目的而生,她有個適合轉接傳統相機鏡頭的Canon EOS EF接環,透過市面上的轉接環,可以轉接M42、Nikon F、Contax/Yashic 等各式傳統相機鏡頭。為了解決135相機鏡頭的成項圈無法在Instax Mini相片上全幅成像的問題,原廠提供了一個1.8倍加倍鏡,可以將135底片成像24mm x 36mm 放大成 43.2mm x 64.8mm,約莫等於 Instax Mini 相片的成像 46mm x 64mm。

The usage of NONS SL42 is roughly equivalent to early non-metering SLR cameras operated with stopped-down aperture. After loading the Instax Mini film cartridge and pressing the electric film advance button to dispense the shading plastic sheet, you can start shooting. The camera itself also has a built-in reflective light meter (non-TTL). Simply select the shutter speed (1, 1/2, 1/4, ..., 1/125, 1/250 seconds), and the display window will show the appropriate aperture value.

Next: cock the shutter -> open the aperture for focusing -> select the shutter speed -> choose the aperture according to the recommended value on the light meter -> press the shutter button -> press the electric film advance button -> wait for the photo image to emerge. Once done, the display window will show the remaining number of photos in the camera.

Additionally, it's crucial to note that since the camera's fastest shutter speed is only 1/250 second, and the ISO value of Instax film is 800, it is recommended to use an ND4 or higher neutral density filter when shooting outdoors during the daytime.


NONS SL42 的使用方式,大概就等於早期無測光,並且以縮光圈操作的單眼相機。裝上Instax Mini 相片卡匣,按下電動出片鈕,吐出遮光塑膠片,就可開始拍攝了。相機本身也有內建一個反射式測光表(非TTL),只要選定好快門速度(1、1/2、1/4、、、、1/125、1/250秒),顯示窗會顯示適合的光圈值。

接下來 快門上弦 -> 光圈全開對焦 -> 選定快門速度 -> 依測光表建議值選定光圈 -> 按下快門 -> 按下電動出片鈕 -> 等待相片影像浮出 就完成了,顯示窗會顯示相機內剩餘的相片數量。


另外,很重要的一點,因為相機最快的快門速度只有1/250秒,而Instax底片的ISO值是800,一般戶外白天拍攝時,建議搭配ND4以上的減光鏡使用喔。

CONTAX S2/Aria, YASHICA FX-3 Viewfinder Rubber Eyepiece Replacement 相機的眼罩代用品

2022.2.6

The original viewfinder rubber eyepiece model for YASHICA FX-3, CONTAX S2, and Aria is F-3. Since these cameras have been discontinued for many years, it's nearly impossible to find the original eyepiece on the internet. Of course, using the camera without the eyepiece is still possible. However, for photography enthusiasts who wear glasses, it can be inconvenient because the plastic frame of the viewfinder constantly hits the lenses of the glasses. This repeated contact may cause the coating on the lenses to peel off. Therefore, I believe installing a rubber eyepiece has its advantages, providing both light shielding and protection for glasses. Are there any non-original replacement options? Yes, let's try two non-original rubber eyepieces here.

After installation testing, the rubber eyepiece with the code EF (for EOS 450D/550D/600D/650D/700D) and EB (for EOS 60D/50D/5D2/40D/30D/20D/10D) from Canon EOS digital cameras fits perfectly.

YASHICA FX-3 、CONTAX S2及Aria的原廠觀景窗橡膠眼罩型號是F-3。由於這幾款相機已經停產多年,所以原廠眼罩在網路上幾乎是買不到了,當然沒有眼罩也是可以用啦。這對戴眼鏡的攝影同好來說倒是有些不便,因為觀景窗的塑膠外框會一直敲到眼鏡的鏡片,多敲幾次難免鏡片的鍍膜會脫落,所以我覺得裝個橡膠眼罩還是有好處,除了遮光還有保護眼鏡。那麼有沒有非原廠的替代品呢? 有的,這裡就讓我們來試試兩個非原廠的橡膠眼罩吧。

經過安裝測試,Canon EOS 數位相機的觀景窗橡膠眼罩編號 EF (EOS 450D/550D/600D/650D/700D 及 EB (EOS 60D/50D/5D2/40D/30D/20D/10D) 剛好可以適用。
