Found Camera Graveyard Newspaper Basement

[Sarcophilus Harrisii]

Has this been mentioned yet? I didn't find a thread. Not generally a fan of this inflammatory, divisive and, at times, just plain silly site however the images are compelling enough for some of our members to find them interesting.

With a mix of TLR and SLR content it seemed to fit a couple of forums. Whichever one I posted in would probably be wrong. If this isn't the appropriate sub forum, my apologies, please re-direct.

But yeah, I can see how u avoid that site. I made the mistake of starting to read the comments - ugh...

Bless all the wonderful people on rangefinderforum!

I decided to go back and read some of those comments. Makes this place look like Sunday School! 😀

Nice article, but yes indeed what argumentative, nagging comments !

Idiots, I posted, wonder how nasty they will get toward me? 🙂

The site is unmoderated, just uses Disqus, which just looks for trigger words.

Good post! That's yours about the early Nikon Fs? I'd sure do like that black one with the NKT logo....

The F eyelevels alone are worth the price of admission!

Sorry, but it is not a proper newspaper camera graveyard without a few 4X5 press cameras.

I like the site. I don't read the comments.

I knew a few guys who were in Nam being issued 4x5 press cameras, but they were allowed to use their own Nikkormats.

Never saw one in the late 60's, the Nikon F killed them.

My comment was just a lame (very lame) attempt at humor.

Ah, yes, that was a great article. Hopefully some of those will make their way back into circulation.

I don't judge a site by what comments people leave. The Internet has released the inner idiot in a lot of folks, so I don't bother to look.

PetaPixel still has far better content than the articles on the Lomography site.
