This is my other Nicca Type 3s, which has a few issues. I picked this one up at an estate sale not for the camera, but for the ridiculous box of period accessories that came with it. Lenses, filters, spare parts, film, some of the items I didn't even know existed!

This is my beautiful Nicca Type 3s from the early 1950's. As close as I'll ever get to owning a Leica unless I find one alongside the road. Fully functional and driven with fair regularity, it's possibly my favorite

This is my Ricoh 500, which I believe to be from 1957. Looking near the bottom you can make out the large "Triggermatic" film advance lever that allows operation without lowering the camera from your eye

I've been seeing a lot of really cool vintage cameras in my feed, so thought I'd share a few of mine. This is my Yashica Electro 35 that has become a real go to over the last couple of years. Only after I found the 3D printed battery adapter, of course. It was dead prior to that

Apropos of nothing, I'm thinking about ordering a Gretsch G2220 short-scale bass to keep right beside my desk. You know, for when inspiration strikes and the need is urgent

For those old enough to remember the Gulf War, do you also remember the comic relief provided by Baghdad Bob? Dude is still alive and I feel like he may be freelancing at #WaPo

For any who may have noticed, I've been away dealing with medical issues. I'm home now and recovering from surgery, hopefully to begin putting this episode behind me. Glad to be back!
