I never thought I would need to prep the floor of our projection room for lens testing. And yet, here we are - testing one of DZOFilm’s new probe zoom lenses. Coming soon to ducloslenses.com

After years of admiring, I finally got my hands on a Zeiss ZX1 camera. It pains me how poorly this camera did when it was launched. The integrated Android OS was a feature ahead of its time. The ability to auto-sync with a local NAS is an overlooked feature that more cameras should incorporate.

A few new pens added to the Cine Pen Archive today. We’ve cataloged over 100 pens now! That’s a lot for a little weekend tongue-in-cheek hobby project. Check out the entire collection at cinepenarchive.com

Better late than never. I finally got around to adding the 2024 Edition Duclos promo pen to the archive. If you snagged one from us at a trade show, during an event, or at our lab, you know how smooth this pen writes. Check out this and the rest of the pens at cinepenarchive.com

Another great addition to the Cine Pen Archive. This pen, a Papermate Powerpoint, commissioned by Leitz, is another mystery with no background. Share the entry page and help me find more info! matthewduclos.com/cpa/record-detail.php?archive_no=2391

This fantastic Carl Zeiss fountain pen is a perfect example of what we strive for. Unfortunately I have zero background on when, who, or why the pen was commissioned. Hopefully someone at Zeiss can give me some additional info. Read more at ThCinePenArchive.com

I've made some progress on the Cine Pen Archive over the holiday break. The site has been given a complete overhaul with a more robust database system.

Archive No. 2380 - a pen by Shot Over, contributed by Andrey Bethke is an excellent example. Check out the new site! www.cinepenarchive.com

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Looking forward to 2025. #professionalgirldad
