#TRILEMMA: actual conversation with @vtwingrin began as follows, “I only want to have two cameras in London but there’s six cameras I want to take”. And the result is that I’m taking the holy trinity of three cameras I originally packed anyway 🙄 - the T2, G2 and Q2. There appears to be some kind of naming scheme that has tapped into my gear acquisition syndrome. (Does anyone know of any others that might fit) #camerabag #contax #leica #contaxt2 #contaxg2 #leicaq2

#HAFENWEG: The authorities know what they have, and they’re trying to preserve it, so what comes after that? What do you do with commercial space that must be preserved in a commercial region? #hamburg #harbour #warehouse #leica

#BRONICA: I suggested my old classmate @kitryallphotography looked at an #ETRSi to replace her beloved #Pentax645, which prompted me to dig mine out, which led to another repair. Really it was an adjustment, as mechanical cameras often require (and all #Leica rangefinders, which are hopeless), and the mechanics are designed with this in mind. @jonnyleephotography gave me this winder, and the long pin in view simply needs to be at the exact right spot to trigger the shutter. Simple tweaks but without the correct JIS screwdriver head, you’ll make a right mess getting in. The levers also seize up after several decades, so maintenance is required, but it does mean that these brilliant cameras are also cheap as chips. There’s an AEII finder for this going for £39 in the Uk right now. You could have a full set up with the grip for less than £400 if you hunted around, I reckon. A lot of advertising photographers used these back in the day, fantastic cameras and great lenses. #mediumformat #zenzabronica #filmphotography
