Day 26
A small camera store in Camden Town, London, has more camera gear than I have ever seen in one place. Everything from digital bodies and lenses, to 35mm collectors and workhorse cameras, medium and large format gear, projectors, professional cinema cameras, (quite possibly) every popular lens ever made for any major brand mount, and all the accessories that a hobby or pro photog would ever want. I asked one photog hanging around that shop, who is apparently a regular, how many lenses he thought are in the shop. He said it was impossible to know, but he would guess over 5000. I picked up an SMC-M Pentax 50mm f/1.4 in mint condition, and traded in my SMC-A 50mm f/2.
