Earlier this year I had a visit to the Zeiss factory at Oberkochen so I thought it would be daft/funny to take my old Ikonta folder along. Here's a shot of the microscope we were looking at:

Also had the chance to look around the company museum - which was understandably amazing. Here are some sneaky cameraphone shots of a couple of the exhibits - for a photography-oriented museum it was a bit weird that there was a sign saying No Photography.
That huge lens was just hilarious - that tiny black thing on the end of it is a Hasselblad!!!
Anyway, I finished the roll of film in the Ikonta in Hexham Abbey which was very dark indeed so some of the framing of shots wasn't easy as I had to rest the camera on whatever was available.
