My father’s Nikon EM mounted with a 35 mm f/2.5 E Series lens. Not clearly visible in this photograph is the fact that the rewind crank is missing.
This is not a review. This is the story of a camera. Not of a camera make and model, but of a particular camera in the world, a camera that made its way by route and hands unknown from Japan to sub-Saharan Aftica, a camera that found itself amidst the history of a country in turmoil, a camera that touched the life of my family. This is a story of life after death. And it’s an unfinished story that I intend to keep telling for the rest of my days.
