robertandrewmercer.com/photography/ Some fantastic Xpan and pinhole images here. It’s got me browsing RSS pinhole cameras again 🙄

One of everything off lomographys website then have a lot of fun travelling & using them all.

Just reading the spec. The fact you can choose between AF or zone focus is ace. Multi exposure button sounds ace. program auto, aperture priority or fully manual shooting modes. That’s a cracking features list.

Similar vibe but their elegant G-Plan coffee tables.

That’s fantastic. I wasn’t keen on the colours on guard dog photo, but it’s perfect here.
