So today I got home from work (rushed home, as I'm halfway through this at the moment and can't wait for the next seminars) and found that this rather exciting package was waiting for me....
I'm no stamp-aholic, but this looks promising. Particularly loving the old-school twine approach to postal security.
Well, it's certainly wrapped well. I've never seen such incredibly sound packaging (and I get sent some pretty expensive camera gear on a very regular basis). Now to extract it from its polystyrene coffin...
Ok, polystyrene off – uncovered soft leather baglet... but what's inside said baglet?
YEAH! It's my new lilac Smena Symbol, fresh from the Ukraine via eBay – a well spent lunchbreak asking people on Twitter for user reviews while also researching different Lomo cameras and gasping at how much Urban Outfitters was charging for them vs how cheap they were on t'Bay resulted in this absolute gem of a camera.
Jeez - what do all these dials mean? Where's Aperture Priority? What about full auto?
I don't think we're in DSLR land any more, Toto... :)
Can't wait to try this out in NYC in two weeks time. That now brings the total kit-count to two 35mm film cameras, two DSLRs plus four lenses, two camcorders and a whole heap of chargers and adaptors. I'm going to need a bigger suitcase.
