Regular visitors will notice that quite a few Garfnet features are looking a bit tired. And you have probably encountered quite a few 404’s too. The reason for this is that Garfnet is undergoing a fairly major overhaul at the moment. Moving to a new, better designed and much faster server Dumping dead or unsupported…

ByGarf 2024-01-052026-01-20

Regular readers may know that my 2023 Christmas project was to make this 120 year old Bausch & Lomb + Beck lens fit on my µ4/3 cameras and actually capture some pictures with it.

GarfNet is thirty years old today
ByGarf 2025-08-182025-08-18

Seems as if it were only the day before yesterday, but it is in fact thirty years to the day since GarfNet had its own domain.
