My sample photos shot with this lens on Flickr:
tinyurl.com/omn3ngn
Note that at 0:15 I say "Zoom lens" but the 75mm is in fact a fixed prime lens. I only said "Zoom" because at the time I was pondering the fact you can get a "zoomed-in / closeup view" of your subject with this lens. The words came off the tongue wrong, even though I knew the entire time this lens is a prime. Sorry.
Note that I put annotations on the video, but I am aware that some of you viewing on Mobile devices may not be able to see them. Blame YouTube for that!

![MacColby Assembly Instructions [Vintage Video]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hlW1c1v06zA/mqdefault.jpg "MacColby Assembly Instructions [Vintage Video]
This rare 1984 MacColby Assembly video came from an original Betamax tape that was recovered from the estate of electronics engineer, Chuck Colby, in Nov. 2020. Mr. Colby founded Colby Systems Corporation in 1982 and is the creator of the MacColby. He passed away on Sep 22, 2018.
— — — — — — — — — —
🙏 As someone who was granted official access to the Colby estate, I wish to thank Boris S. for digitizing the original betamax tape and granting me permission to post the video on my YouTube channel. Boris told me that he used an old Sanyo Beta VCR4400 for the playback and Sony DVD Video Recorder for MPEG2 DVD-Video recording with highest quality settings. He then transcoded MPEG2 to MP4 using Handbrake. His resulting MP4 video is 60fps and you can find that original video here: https://bit.ly/39IsCI3
🐦 You can find Boris on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/0ldstaph
My color-corrected and audio noise-filtered version is 30fps because it makes no difference in quality.
🙏 I also wish to thank pinto_guy on the 68kMLA for also giving me permissions to use this and his photo of the MacColby. pinto_guy provided me feedback on my version of the video before I made it Public.

💾 The MacColby was the first rugged Macintosh portable using the internals of a Macintosh 128K or 512K computer and could operate off a 12V battery with an optional DC-DC converter. The case was made of aluminum, externally covered with plastic, and the keyboard case was made of magnesium.
• Heres an archive of the original MacColby product web page: https://bit.ly/2M2yWlC
• The Nov. 1984 issue of Macworld magazine has a nice introduction to the MacColby:
https://vintageapple.org/macworld/pdf/MacWorld_8411_November_1984.pdf
Do a keyword search of that PDF for MacColby to find the article. The article says the MacColby weighs 1.5lbs less than the stock Macintosh 512K.
• This 1985 Mac Hardware & Software Guide has a short writeup: https://bit.ly/3szHocH
• RetroMacCast did a PodCast on the MacColby way back in Dec. 2010. Jump to the 15 min. 34 sec. mark: https://radiopublic.com/retromaccast-GOOLzG/s1!bf12c
I personally hold the history of Chuck Colbys work quite in high regard, not only for his inventions through the years, but also for the fact he was originally based in my home town of Fresno, California and received his engineering degree from Fresno State, just like I did. To me, thats something special.
🔴 If you happen to own a MacColby, please leave a Comment sharing your experience!
