I finally decided to clean out my gear cupboard and do some organising. It was full of old lens boxes, broken tripods and accessories for long gone gear, it was quite a mess!

Fed 3 35mm film – my street photography rangefinder film camera of choice
Zorki 4k 35mm film – another rangefinder camera great for street photography but needs the shutter curtain replaced.
Ricoh KR-5 35mm film – 80′s film camera
Lomo Action Sampler 35mm film – plastic toy camera that takes 4 frames every shot
Smena 8M 35mm film – old Russian camera from the 70′s
