objective-focusing

‘Objective-focusing’ refers to a situation where the focusing distance of an optical lens is changed by moving the entire group of lens elements (the objective) with respect to the imaging plane (sensor or film). Depending on the lens design, focusing can possibly also be achieved by moving one element (element-focusing) or a group of elements

JAPB is a website centred on photography and photo gear, with a special interest in using old lenses on modern cameras.

We (currently, I) are not trying to push you to buying new, expensive gear. Instead, our approach is the opposite (in all aspects). Instead we want to help you made informed decisions, and if we can be said to ‘push’ anything, that would be relatively cheap, old gear.

JAPB is non-profit, in fact this is a loss generator. Some day that might change, but we’ll make sure that does not happen at the expense of the audience.
