As an aside, maybe a love of old cameras and classic
computers is a
natural fit :-). Although I do shoot digital, my favourite camera is my
Canon A1, an absolutely beautiful bit of kit IMHO, and I'm hoping a
1950s Russian Zorki rangefinder is going to land in my lap before
Christmas! Shameless self publicity - if anyone's curious, some of my
photography is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/snowgoons/ ;-). (No
classic computers there though!)
You wouldn't be the only one, Tim! My favorite camera to use is a
1971 Canon FTb body, and ironically my digital body is only two years
from being on-topic here: The Canon EOS-1N D2000
(1998). I also want
a Zorki or Zenit, but I don't think Santa's that kind
to me this year.

Beautiful pictures, by the way. (I'm too shy to post mine ;-)

PS: I suppose to make this on-topic I should say that my oldest camera
is seven years older than my oldest computer, an Apple II Plus.
