This little beastie arrived from Hong Kong today. A Zero Image 6x9 multiformat handmade pinhole camera. Most people to whom I have shown it are quite impressed with the quality of it - I know I am. I can't wait to run some film through it to see what it will do. I am a bit nonplussed by the journey it took however. Using online tracking I could see it took 3 days to get from Kowloon to Rotherham and then 5 days to travel the remaining 7 miles across the M1 to Sheffield. I am not going to give ParcelForce a link because of that - especially not when they charged me 40p more to collect the VAT than the actual VAT they collected.
