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.
