    Great stuff!
    I have 2x old Voigtlanders: A Perkeo I MF folder and a Vito ii 35mm which is also a folder
    The build quality on both of them is incredible.
    And I got them for about £20 each in great condition

    The Photographers' Gallery off Oxford Street has a great range of books and magazines - good for a nose through and to get some inspiration.
    I saw a handmade zine/book made by Alyssa Warren called The Lake which is stunning but it is £300....

    Thanks for that - have amended.
    I think he was saying at one time he took the Deardorff back to the factory for some reason (i guess repair) and was told his was one of 2 built around 1935.

    Can’t believe my luck: Have just had a tour of Joel Meyerowitz’s exhibition at the Tate by the man himself!!
    Was at the gallery by chance with my eldest during half term and didn’t even know there was his show on there.
    I saw a man in a hat surrounded by about 15 people in a corner and he looked like an old tour guide. I went for a listen and he started talking about the Dearlove [edit: actually Deardorff see below] camera used to take the Into The Light pictures with a lot of inside knowledge. A sneaky Google of his face showed it was Joel himself!!
    Not sure who organised it but it didn’t seem anything official and they didn’t seem to mind me gatecrashing it.
    Such a nice guy and very happy to have a chat and answer questions.
    My main takeaways from it was that: everyone has a favourite focal length (his is 35mm on the Leica he was carrying); crop when you take the image not in post (I asked if his New York Empire State series were cropped!); and printing photos is part of the process not an addition to it.
