It’s always interesting to see what is in someones camera bag Different people have different styles, so looking into someones bag is an intimate view of how they work. I like bag shots and I like posting them, as they help me to remember what I am doing and how I am shooting. Which is [...]
Here is some info for people in case you were wondering what I am all about I have had a few people ask me lately what I do and what this site is all about, so I thought I should clear up a few things. Yes, I am a camera collector and fan, but I [...]
Some more camera-porn for you, this time from my own personal collection This is a little something that I picked up yesterday. I got a call from the always charming Mijonju, who said he was in need of a Summicron 50mm lens and wondered if I had one. Well, it just so happened that I [...]
The canon F1, also known as the camera hewn from solid steel by Gods own hands Canon got into the pro SLR market a little bit late, when compared to the release of the great Nikon F series, in fact you could say that they really missed the boat, as this camera was not actually [...]
Another great video from those lovely chaps over at DigitalRev. This time all about the Leica M system, possibly the greatest and most influential camera system ever produced.

Does film have a future? And if it does, how long have we got? Now then, before you all just down my throat about film vs digital and all that malarkey, this is not a debate about that. They both have their merits and demerits, so let us just leave it at that. This is [...]
Does what it says on the tin. An interesting short interview with perhaps one of Japans most famous photographers Moriyama Daido on why he loves photography and what he sees. Pretty cool to see him using a Ricoh GR21, which is pretty much my dream compact camera. Cheers Japancamerahunter
I got to have a go on one of these last week. It is lavish and completely over the top, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting one. This is basically a porn video for cameras, featuring the Christy Turlington of cameras. Very pretty. Japancamerahunter
An outstanding rangefinder for less than you think What we have here is the wonderfully engineered Konica Hexar rangefinder. This particular one is the ‘limited’ version. Only 2001 pieces of this model were actually made, to celebrate the year 2001. Originally this one was sold as a set with the stunning 50mm f/1.2 lens. Though [...]
