The Photomic Tower
On a recent promenade around town, I stopped by my usual Pho place on St-Denis street, near Jean-Talon. After delicious soup, I stumbled on the street in postprandial bliss, when I suddenly caught this in my collimator:

Golly, could it be that....

Great Scott! It exists! The Nikon F Photomic Tower, courtesy of Bell Canada, and dating probably from the same era.
I think every Nikonian ought to make a pelerinage to this shrine at least once in their lifetime. We'll go for soup.
Using film since before it was hip.

Even though I don't have a Nikon, it does look interesting!
