#fmsphotoaday #project366 324: Something Awesome.
Let's see:
1. That's not the whole collection. I took the shot with the Sony NEX-C3 and the Mitakon 2.8/28
2. Of the 9 manual focus lenses, together, 8 of them together cost less than $240 total. The Carl Zeiss 1.4/50 was $225 and is almost impossible to find online under $350 or so.
3. The full lens collection, including adapters, and the lens on the NEX-C3, was less than the cost of the Nikon D5100 with 18-55 VR kit lens.
4. All of the adapters together were about $60, ordered from a Chinese dealer on eBay.
5. The eBay killer isn't on that photo. That lens was $2.25, $13 or so shipped and is now in the happy hands of a Sony NEX-5N owner.
6. The $225 Carl Zeiss lens is not $200 more awesome than the $24 Mitakon 2.8/28. Yes, it's nice to have f/1.4, but except for the low light advantage, the $24 lens is really damn nice.

The underground public toilet near the corner of Elizabeth and Victoria Streets, built in 1907, is one of a group of such facilities built in Melbourne in the early twentieth century in response to increasing demand for public toilet facilities in the city that were both sanitary and discreet. Until 1902 there were no public toilets for women and few for men. The first public toilet, a urinal for men only, had been built in 1859, following the opening of the Yan Yean water supply in 1858. But these street level toilets were regarded as indecently public, and without an underground sewerage system the waste discharged into the gutters. Underground toilets, which removed toilets from public view and so satisfied contemporary perceptions of decency, had already been built in Scotland, England and Sydney. Such facilities were made possible in Melbourne by the establishment in December 1890 of the Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works, responsible for building and maintaining an underground sewerage system. The first underground public toilet in Melbourne, which was the first public toilet for women in the city, was opened in Russell Street in 1902, followed by another one for men in Queen Street in 1905. Public toilets for women were built only following concerted campaigns by feminist groups. The conveniences near the corner of Elizabeth and Victoria Streets included both men's and women's facilities, and was the second built in Melbourne for women and the third for men. It has been in continuous use since then.
The underground public toilet in Elizabeth Street near Victoria Street is opposite the Queen Victoria market. There is a stairway for each of the male and female toilets, at the top of which are wrought iron railings and gates, bluestone kerbing and cast iron sign posts, similar to the other underground toilets of the period.
