This is the #rarest piece of #Nikon kit I know. Yes, the 6mm fisheye is rare and 100K, but we all know what it looks like, and may even have tried one at a photo show. But this, there’s only a single photo of it on the net, and it’s the size of a postage stamp. But… What is it?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Victory! I KNEW I had a last stash of film somewhere. This is like buried treasure, most of this stuff is no longer made: #RVP #Velvia, #Ektachrome #320T, #Agfa #Scala, #Kodachrome (only black and white process still available), #Delta, #SFX, #Ilford, #Fuji #E100GX. Amazing. This should last me two months at the current rate. If anyone has any old film they don’t want or need… You know who to call :) I’m carrying all this home over my shoulder like a swag bag. #filmwasters

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.

Nothing can ever be vegetarian. This is a work of art symbolizing #Tory #politicians. They think everyone should stay out of other people’s business, except occasionally they get caught doing the exact opposite. The spoon represents a tabloid front page.
