new toys
I haven't had much free time to drag the DSLR around much lately - almost all my recent photos have been taken with my phone - I don't have enough room in one bag for everything (and if I did, I'd have a sore back!). Some kinda rangefindery film camera had been in my thoughts for a while, though maybe not at the price of, say, a Bessa R2 that tempted me from the window of a second hand shop.
Not long after I saw Bessa and thought better of it, Hamish showed me his Canonet, which he'd recommended previously as a cheap but good entry point into the land of rangefinders - a little ebaying later, and here's mine:

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of ThingsTM.
