Ringo's camera in 1968

Trask · Feb 1, 2013

"New" photographs of the Beatles back in the day -- see photo 18, looks to me that Ringo is holding a Nikkormat FTN. The chrome area near the shutter speed ring looks larger than I'd expect, though perhaps the lens itself (which I can't identify) had a chrome mount.

Isn't Ringo known to be into photography? Also Linda McCartney had at least one book of images published and wasn't she also related to George Eastman?

I think it just looks that way due it being brighter. Behind it is the aperture ring, which being dark, looks smaller.

Nice pictures of unguarded moments.

Linda was a professional photographer but had nothing to do with George Eastman.
Her dad was the attorney Lee Eastman.

I think he just has the 1.4/50 with a lens hood on it. The Hillman Imp in the background is interesting too.
