Camera Check: Nikon FG-20

Another day, another camera check! This one isn't as throwback as the Polaroid 440, but just as cool. Check out that Nikon leather case! It has been used but not abused.

Nikon FG-20, its a film camera with a 50mm lens! Honestly this older glass looked cleaner/clearer than the 50mm I'm currently using. 

Leather grips

Low profile with that Sharp strap

Such a beauty! 

They currently don't sell the FG-20 anymore but they do sell something similar, <this> bad boy! The Nikon FM10 is a very similar looking camera, but for some reason I like how the FG-20 looks!

Behind the Lens: Polaroid 440

Camera Check: Polaroid 440

One of my friends has a really throwback camera ... literally. Check out this rugged leather case.

The plastic case cover protects the lens and just pulls out. The viewfinder pops up. Crazy innovative design Polaroid.

Can you say throwback?

The shutter is a bit different. The best I can describe it is double action. 7/8 press to click and get ready, last 1/8 click to actuate the shutter. 

There are two view finders on this camera. The obvious one in the center and the circular one on the left. You use the large one to compose the shot, the smaller one to focus. It's pretty fun.

External Flash

So this is the bulbs for the flash

It has 4 separate light bulbs which you can rotate when one burns out.

Bike Check: Fuji Track Pro

Bike Check time! Lemme introduce to my friend's Fuji Track Pro. Compared to Merci "Rolls" this thing is really light. I helped my hommie overhaul this bike when he first got this bike on craigs ... man too many initial problems. 1st the bottom bracket teeth stripped and the pedals were cross threaded. Terrible 1st owner. We went through so many bike shops to get the bottom bracket off and when we finally did, it took 4 guys and a long leverage tool to free that bottom bracket. Maintain your bikes kids! Even though this bike is designed to be ridden in a <velodrome>, I really love how fast this bike responds in the streets. One day I'll join the aluminum track bike club with one of these bad boys <Low//> 

notice how the toe clips are covered with no metal exposed, gotta keep those kicks fresh

brakeless only

Stay tuned, a lot more to come!
