Little rant..

Scotland/England Border.
2-1 ratio. Hand built Panoramic camera.

You would think that in this day and age you could pick up medium format and large format cameras for a few pence considering the planets dwindling supplies of film and rising costs. But no, in fact some of these camera go for more second hand than they did when they were new. Who is buying them? And is anyone using them?
I remember the time when one would buy an analogue Hassleblad for £1500 and it would last your entire career. Nowadays you buy a Digital camera for four times more and need to up date it six months later. Then there's the cost of a computer and all the other gubbings you never needed before.
When will it end?


Remember my friends, an image should be what you see, not what the camera sees..
