OK now that I got you with the title, it's more like Ringo talking about his photography with pictures of him with his F and F2 (which he still uses) along with some commentaries on his Nikkor fisheye that he used to take Paul's picture. :o :o :o
looks like he got George and the others to get their own Nikons after a trip here in Japan

...but no Greens of Summer. :(

It seems they got some Asahi Pentax :o

Ringo's black Pentax was prominently featured throughout A Hard Day's Night, most memorably, perhaps, for the [spoiler alert] accident it sustained off the towpath -- in Surrey? Many aspiring and experienced photographers can or could relate. (It's why rust-and-relic gear is so readily available on eBay... ) Now, a certain, once future, Beatle spouse was famously on the scene -- when New York still had one -- with her Nikon. All speculation about a familial connection to the Kodak brand was purely fictive; like "Paul is dead". ::)
I have a clear picture in my mind, of George slinging a fab, gear [pun intended] black Nikon F, somewhere at some time, but that proves nothing. I can however affirm he was once -- maybe more then that -- in possession of, own or was seen using, a silver "plain prism" [sic] Nikon F.
I am the Agfa man. They are the Ansco men. I am the Wollensak! Goo-goo g'joob! 8)
