This is the radio my dad bought when he came to the UK in 1962. It’s powered by #valves and still works, I managed to tune it to #AbsoluteRadio and #FleetwoodMac started playing. Bands available: #MW, #MSW (what?) #SW times three and an auxiliary input for tape. We had it repaired sometime in the mid-1980s, cost about £18, for new valves which were probably damaged while moving house. #MadeInEngland

It is UNBELIEVABLE how cheap these cameras are now. Crazy. They are superbly engineered, and packed with brilliant features. The lenses are excellent (as used to shoot hundreds of billboard adverts back in the 1980s) and the accessories are widely available. Featured: #50mm f2.8 (approx £99), #ETRSi body (approx £150) and AE II Finder (gives aperture priority and TTL-metering (approx £80). #Bronica #Zenza

Tatty 1985 #Porsche #911 #Carerra. The reason they’re tatty is because they actually get used. Because they’re good. Ferraris are always pristine, which is easy when it doesn’t fucking start because the battery is flat. All Ferraris since like 1978 have a battery isolation switch for extended storage situations, which tells you something about their abilities.
