    Default The story of a Camera Nerd in Japan...

    and to be specific, a Nikon RF film camera nerd!

    For your reading pleasure...

    Interview with a collector – Jon Mitchell | Japan Camera Hunter

    I think its quite appropriate sharing this here since Jon is on CS too!

    Jon's collection of Nikkors is no doubt a weapon of mass GAS.

    Its a disaster to open the link, and watch that slimy, ridiculously beautiful Nikon RF staring at me. Its whispering ''BUY ME...BUY ME''

    I know the man in the article! Very dangerous man to your pocket as there is NOTHING he cannot find. If you heart so desires any particular gear, he can very quickly show you where it can be found. The question is whether your pocket is deep enough. And he takes great pictures too!

    Beer and Gear soon? Or should I say Juice and Gear soon? Ha Ha!

    Cheers,
