Sadly, Michael David Murphy has had his camera and lenses stolen. One only hopes that his blogging at 2point8 didn’t make him a target for camera theft. Certainly his film cameras won’t fetch lots of cash on the market. And there’s clearly sentimental attachment to the tools.
This is something that we have lost in the digital age. My digital cameras are expensive pieces of consumer electronics. No sense forming a long-term relationship with them.
