rick_janes Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The very influential Japanese photographer Takuma Nakahira passed away September 3rd, he was 77. If you enjoy the photography of Japan spend some pleasurable time looking up his works! And he was often seen carrying his trusty companion Canon F-1, with FD 100 / 4 macro.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwmcbroom Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 <p>And I see he had an Original F-1, no less. My most favorite 35mm camera ever. I've put more rolls than I can count through my old F-1s and they've never failed me once. Although I love my Nikon F2s, the old F-1 is a more robust and more accurate machine. IMNSHO.<br> <br />RIP, Nakahira-sensei.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
