Northwest Trip 08'
This is a running theme for me. I'm always amazed by small signs of life in desolate rocky areas where something so vibrant and alive can peek through.
Art Sheffield Ambassadors and their guests were invited to Persistence Works, home of Yorkshire ArtSpace, for complimentary drinks and 'behind-the-scenes' access to artists and their studios. Inside Roger Gibson's studio. (All artwork and images of the artwork are copyright of the artist)
The Nikkorex Auto 35 was a consumer level leaf shutter SLR offered by Nikon in the early 60s. It was not particularly successful, though it did offer an innovative (for the time) automatic aperture feature.
In appearance it was very similar to the Pentina, but that’s about all they have in common. I enjoy restoring “parts” cameras, but some are more of a challenge than others. This one proved to be a real hair puller, and even by the time I got to 5 bodies I had managed no success, mostly due to the devilishly frustrating linkage between the body, mirror return, shutter, and meter/aperture interface.
