Wide Angle: National Geographic Greatest Places (National Geographic Collectors Series)

In 250 glorious photographs Wide Angle: National Geographic Greatest Places documents the beauty and depth of every part of the world. Delving deeply into a picture archive that houses over ten million images, with many photographs being published for the first time, this new book-the third and final in the "greatest photographs" series-presents the world's amazingly diverse places with epic grandeur, unparalleled intimacy, romantic beauty, and gritty realism. The photographs are landscapes, cityscapes, famous landmarks, and unfamiliar spots that reveal special qualities of geography or culture one might otherwise never see.

Spanning more than eleven decades, the images in Wide Angle are divided into twelve chapters, each depicting a unique geography—including East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Polar Regions. Each chapter is introduced by award-winning cultural writer and critic Ferdinand Protzman, whose essays accent the stunning photographs by renowned National Geographic photographers. Both essays and photographs carefully examine a region's special qualities, creating unique character and its own special and unforgettable sense of place. In Wide Angle, National Geographic photographers have recorded the world's places close up, in sweeping breadth, in depth, and over time.

using nothing more than a door spy from a hardware store, plastic canister lid from a 35mm roll of film, and an elastic hair tie I've finally managed to make a home made wide angle attachment.

All I did was cut a round hole in the lid to fit the spy thru and attach with the elastic band.

Note: the velcro on the front of the camera is for home made lens gels, but it also provides something for the plastic lid to grip to so it doesn't move around on a smooth surface too much.

The shoe-mounted viewfinder was hacked from a kodak disposable camera :)
The uncoated Elmar is, according to serial number, a 1939 piece of kit, making it the oldest piece of photo gear I own...
