Fundraising for Radozhiva. Completed 100%.

For charity for the purchase of Sony a7 was collected:

When converted to currency, it turns out: 1235 USD (88% of the planned amount, but due to jumps in the exchange rate, this amount was enough to buy a camera). Camera was acquired for 21.000 UAH

Who helped the project, please write in the comments. Thanks a lot, everyone :). Thanks page is located here.

UPDATED: The camera was replaced in 2020 by the Sony a7 III.

  • Dmitry Ivanov

    Greetings, Arkady!
    He contributed his "3 kopecks")
    R315066933568
    If it’s not difficult, when free time appears, take a look at the comments on the review Wave 50mm F1.8 MS. I have a question for you.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Thank you.

  • Zhorik

    Well, there are a lot of reviews on the Internet, a dime a dozen. About some in general, Arkady himself does not understand what he writes. 99% of fans here - because only they can be fed with such reviews. And Arkady is very good and the camera will remain and the readers smoke it. Would you think like Arkady help children in their country. And not buy a7.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      We are also thinking about this.

      • Alexander

        I will be glad to help! I am exclusively engaged in children's photography and I take a lot of pictures for money and just like that! If you whistle I will be only too happy to help!

    • Sergei

      Well done, I denounced ...
      I think this was your last comment, and you will not read mine, since you no longer have a computer ... You sold it and transferred money to needy children, no matter in which country. But I'll write anyway ..
      Arkady is doing a great job, and on a voluntary basis. And this work is very useful for many, especially for beginners. I don’t know a single resource on which so many reviews on manual optics are grouped, which in most cases cost a penny, and which, in general, is only available to amateurs who have the opportunity to allocate very little money from their budget for a photograph. So Arkady helps people, including children. And not only in their own country.

      • Zhorik

        Arkady well done. But you do not need to be a photo doccher. And 90% of the beginners on this site are photo-docs.

        • Arkady Shapoval

          For cross-hosting under different names ban_set.

    • Lynx

      Oh, oh carrot bride exposed us all!

      • Zhorik

        Therefore, here alone and lovers)))

    • Alexander

      I agree, too, has long raised this topic!

  • anonym

    Well, here's another defender. And I thought about something else ... Not about the new A7 one should think about (enough Fuji used), but change something “in the conservatory.” Arkady, as an undoubtedly talented photographer and organizer, must finally understand that The main thing is not the number of reviews (it reached PoloD3000 and Industar-69), of which, as the previous participant said, there are a dime a dozen on the network, but the main thing is to help people learn how to take pictures, that is, in search of what they come here. my photos (not review, of course), photos of classics, famous photographers and just fans of teaching photography itself. Without lynx boorish and Bonapartist teachings. I would recommend making a section where you could post photos for discussion. This would be useful simple photographers, of whom there are the bulk ... However, Arkady's suggestions and criticism is very painful.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      C'mon, I always take into account all the comments and suggestions. A crop for reviews does not suit me.

      • anonym

        Yes, yes, I remember- “I didn’t write something like“ uh ”or“ the author drink yadu ”- I pointed out specific shortcomings that interfere with the perception of information. You should have listened, not kicked off with a hint of prof. superiority ”…… .. your answer is“ I don’t kick football, but as for a photo blog, there are really a lot of unnecessary requirements. Pay for our work and we will do these reviews at least on our ears ”……. You, as I understand it, also“ took into account ”my proposal for teaching lambs.

        • Arkady Shapoval

          What prof. superiority? What are you speaking about. I really took into account the wish. But if you want to flame, look elsewhere.

          • anonym

            Thank you for taking it into account. Trust us all we will only benefit from this. For this we come here….

            • Arkady Shapoval

              And thank you.

      • sergey

        Arkady, many people do not understand that the crop does not disclose full-frame manual optics

    • Lynx

      Let me explain everything to you. Arkady, like all the helpers, are engaged in the site exclusively in those areas that are interesting to him and not to the anonymous "desires of what they want". Because if you listen to every passing desire and do not what you like, but what you want, then this is yourself and your work to disrespect

      • anonym

        It was just a suggestion. Arkady decides to listen to him or not. There is no other way for the further development of the site, it is impossible to read the mantras, advise the same thing, beginners who do not read all the material on the site will come up by calling you righteous rage, over and over again, the most popular lenses will run out, new cameras do not appear so often, but the training of photography itself is a boundless ocean. It's a pity that you, as “helping) to work on the site,” don't understand this. I'm sure Arkady will understand ... ..By the way, it was not at all necessary to be responsible for him. He himself seems to be able to write and even without mistakes.

        • Lynx

          What a horror.

        • Lynx

          And I assure you - there are many ways of the future.
          and the section with basic concepts for beginners is more than detailed and sufficient, and is updated as new topics appear.

          • anonym

            Yes, I have no doubt about it. Name at least one (path). The section on lenses is also "more than detailed and sufficient", however, as I see, you are already tired of advising the same thing to those who persistently for some reason do not read this section. And not only this one. Apparently, you like to do this. If not, then, as it was written above, "is not to respect yourself and your work."

            • Lynx

              You are funny, you don’t understand simple things - why people ask instead of reading them themselves.

              • anonym

                Well, that's just understandable. But what about the “paths”?

              • Zhorik

                I didn’t see you funnier. Give a link to your photos, see how the reviews helped you.

              • anonym

                And who are the judges? …… ..Remember? Griboyedov, if you are not a child of the exam.

              • Lynx

                Arkady, of course. His site is for him to judge. Goodbye zhorik.

            • anonym

              Our arrow everywhere has ripened.))

    • anonym

      the main thing in the internet is unique content! Arkady's site is mainly about manual optics. there are practically no other such sites! personally, I would like to see in each review only two photos plus: the world on the open and a still life on the open for each glass. Well, about learning, I want to see tips based on the practice of specific photo shoots: settings, tricks, subtleties ... these are the things that are hard to learn ... but this is usually secret information! no one will educate competitors! maybe that's why they don't write about the benefits of high-aperture optics and advise to buy a DSLR with a whale lens. like then decide ...

    • Bearded bride

      For example, I went to find out about Soviet optics

    Arkady, do not count for offtopic. I want to go with the D3100 (18-55vr, ​​35 / 1.8,55-200vr). What to take D7100kit (18-55vrII) or D7000 + tamron 17-50 / 2.8vr without a motor ??? Your personal opinion. And thanks for everything you do.
    Ekb.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Thanks. I would take the d7100 because of autofocus, and then the lens can then be changed.

      • Stegosaurus

        Thanks! I will do so.

        • anonym

          Leave only 35 / 1,8, sell - then you will regret.

  • anonym

    With the world on a string! Great site.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Thank you

  • Max

    As Arkady Krop writes, he does not like it for reviews. Can Arkady give you an SF or a BF? And we’ll collect it for you.) Well settled)) Karoche, if you don’t stop extorting money, I’ll be forced to contact the appropriate authorities. And do not forget about taxes.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      To extort? Where?

      • anonym

        The comrade is joking. Well, his jokes are probably such ... ... Unsuccessful.

      • anonym

        man's envy gnaws. terrible thing ...

    • Vatnichek

      Max, we will collect Arkady both on the Baltic Fleet and on the Northern Fleet, but relatives with your character will not even throw you off the coffin. Because you are a bad person. You are like a woman.

    • Sergey Jung

      Max, you confused something. You do not need to go to this resource. here people collect money for themselves. And for your own good. since Arkady everything here is done for us. HUGE HIM FOR THANKS !!!

  • Ekaterina Arkadevna

    And my 5 cents in your collection;)
    Arkady, thank you very much for your accessible articles for understanding novice amateur enthusiasts!
    With great pleasure I understand the intricacies of photography while re-reading your articles.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Thanks for the help :)

  • Stegosaurus

    Not sure if my help came from 25.12.14/XNUMX/XNUMX. Paid via telebank. If not difficult to confirm receipt of funds.

            The main thing that is at this time!

  • Felix

    I want to congratulate everyone on NG, I also thank Arkady for his website, since I began to get to know the photo from him. Recently bought my first DSLR thanks to a review of Arkady. I hope for a speedy completion of the fundraising and new reviews and articles in the New Year.

  • Eugene

    Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you, Arkady! Another small contribution to the common cause on WebMoney R. Thank you for your work. There are a lot of envious people, but there are very few who really can do anything. You are one of those who can and does. Creative success in the new year, and patience!

  • Oleg

    I’ve been reading your articles for two years. You’re the best. He made a small contribution to the common cause. Good luck in the new photo year.

  • Ivan

    Transferred crazy money - UAH 20. to a private bank card

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Class! thanks :)

      • Ivan

        unfortunately not rich in money. all in debt, as in silk. but your resource is very like. thanks a lot.

  • bertold

    Creative "Uzbeks" to you, Arkady, in the coming year! Thank you for your work, for the site, for the knowledge box! Lepta rode off to Kiwi. :)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Thanks. Added to the piggy bank :)

  • Sergei

    Something has stalled everything ... This is not good.
    Arkady, as the fundraising ends all the same, you probably need to open a new one right away - on LA-EA4. For completeness))

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Will definitely need :)

  • Vladimir

    And I, here, are interested in the comments instructing the "gurus" of photography ...
    Guys, before you write nasty things, you should read the article from beginning to end.
    And it says that the collection of money is purely voluntary. He who wants to help, but not - his business. It's a personal matter for everyone. With what fright you, who point to the "dime a dozen" of articles on the internet about this or that, while they themselves did nothing, but tell Arkady what exactly he should do. This is his site, he writes articles here and it is he, even if he wishes, asks for help in buying a camera. Why? Yes, because he wants so ...
    And who are you to tell him what to do (help children, etc.)? You guys have good thoughts, useful ones ... So start implementing them, and Arkady, I am sure, will do what he wants, can and should.
    Sorry, if someone hurt!

    • Alexey

      And why do you perceive any criticism as "nasty"? Do you think there is nothing to criticize for? This does not happen :) In reality, compare with good Western sites dedicated to lens testing: dxomark, photozone, slrgear. The structure of the reviews is usually as follows: introduction, general information about the lens / system, appearance and functionality, tests, verdict, samples. When you walk in, everything becomes clear at once: how sharp the lens is, what is in the center and around the edges, what is the aperture, what is the level of vignetting and HA, what is the pattern in the blur zone. This is the lens test. And then it turns out something like “they sent me a new tsyatska, so I played with it, so I clicked something that came to hand and in the end I’ll tell you whether I liked it or not”. What is the practical value of such information? :) Samples are a separate conversation. Part - 720 on the long side, part - reduced to 3 megapixels. And at the same time we are talking about “drawing” and “opening the lens on a full frame”. Add to this the fact that these same samples are usually already processed in a graphics editor, which is even more delivery when you see philosophizing about “drawing” again. In the latest reviews, I see, there are links to the archive with the raves. Already something, but from the point of view of usability - quiet horror. Who will download archives for several hundred megabytes if it's easier to go to another resource and watch full-size zhypegi or download raves one at a time?
      And although I strongly support the undertakings, especially “ours,” but at the moment I don’t see why these fees are in general. Before collecting money from people, you need to provide a high-quality product, this is also a responsibility, not just a privilege. And at the moment - here, as already mentioned above - these are nothing more than personal impressions for the same amateurs who pick up everything and perceive it as the ultimate truth.
      So you need to work :) And when there are at least the makings of what I wrote above, I myself will be happy in the forefront to support the purchase of new equipment for reviews.

      • Lynx

        You will not be in the forefront. Just come up with other excuses and all)))

        • Alexey

          And you do - and we'll see. Or is this an excuse for you? :)

          • Lynx

            Thousands of people (including Arkady himself and people helping him) like the site, its style and content, dozens support mirrorless collection. To change it for the sake of any one dissatisfied, obscure type?
            There is no way!

            • Alexey

              “Millions can't be wrong” © The funniest thing is that these attacks of yours with a hint of insult do no honor at all and do not add points to you. Rather, the opposite is true. You would first learn how to communicate with the audience, before you engage in commenting, and even in such a “delicate” topic.

              • Lynx

                I am quite able to communicate with the audience.
                do not equal yourself with it. ;)

              • Alexey

                ^ Actually, the best proof of "skill" :)

              • Peter

                Lynx, you already got your dumbness

      • An-51

        Specifically, I'm interested in everything about Nikons-Nikkors; here, in particular, about the D7000 camera (I know everything else in the volume I need). The gathering for Prof. Canon, and Sonya, about which I have not even heard, formally do not approve. But ... since Arkady wants this particular camera, then it is his business, and those who want to help him in this.

      • anonym

        I understand that the post is old already, but could not resist ...)) Well, you don't like the site - leave it and don't look anymore !!! Well, what are you good people, professionals, gods of photography, photography school gurus, who trample Olympus with their feet, be sure, when leaving, you need to splash slops and feces ??? Great site, and not just for beginners! And the fact that the reviews of glasses have a personal coloring is great, and I just missed it on other sites - either laudatory odes or dry graphics that are not related to reality!

  • Sergei

    I was able to transfer from Russia through Sberbank Online only now, because of the confusing interface, the ruble did not immediately go to WebMoney.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Thank you :)

  • ivan

    I wanted to pay, and then I read that crop reviews are not interesting, and I won’t.
    Those who have FF - they themselves know what, when and how to do it.
    But beginners are just those who are on the crop. And on the site, I think there are most of them ..

    • Sergei

      Ivan, you misunderstood everything .. Arkady needs A7, because it has a full-frame matrix and a small working distance, and this is just such a combination with which it’s very convenient to review manual lenses of different systems, and which are mostly designed small format (35x24). Therefore, it is not entirely correct (not entirely objective) to review full-frame lenses on a cropped camera. Arkady understands this, and wants to make his reviews even better. So, Ivan, change your mind))

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Nobody forces :)

    • The Hedgehog

      Oh, and you think narrowly ...

  • Vilia

    Arkady, make comments paid, so loot will be collected faster. Is it possible to somehow somehow give money to Arkady so that he can buy a new camera?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      paid comments? I'm not a monster :)

  • The master

    glad if at least a little bit helped =)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      thank you

  • Le Havre

    Great idea! Great camera! In the near future I will make my small contribution. I myself am the owner of this, this camera is simply created for manual optics. I will look forward to reviews of Rokkors, as well as other manual junk) And by the way, for the audience using a crop camera, the a7 has the ability to switch to crop mode - a very convenient thing for video), which also allows you to find out how the lens will behave on crope, so no one will be offended.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Well, whoever has a head on his shoulders, it will not be difficult for him to understand from the full-size images what will happen on the crop :)

  • Klaria Epsonovna

    And about the private bank and its logo - has it already been written in the article, or has it been completed later? I didn't notice it right away, I didn't see it (:

  • Bearded bride

    Arkady, how will the BZK, test Industar-M, or the Kiev-30 camera, there is a working section of about 19 mm, otherwise I bought it and I don’t understand how to take it, there is no 16 mm film, how to cut it 35 mm, it knows, it’s easier to attach it to the BZK

  • The Hedgehog

    50 UAH (-25 kopecks. Commissions) today at 17:43 should have been on the card of the private bank. Thank you for the useful site and less to you envious people who roam here :-))

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes, thanks, come.

  • Dimka

    A useful project, I think so, I’m glad that I was able to take part in it)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Thank you

  • Czeslaw

    Arkady, thank you very much for your contribution. At one time I was one of those who helped you scrape together on 5d, and this time decided not to stand aside. 60 UAH through WebMoney, answer whether it came or not, because from the last transaction to you, I did not use it.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes thank you!
