Behind The Scenes: The Hundreds
How huge is The Hundreds? Huge enough to own their own screenprinting shop. After sharing the story behind the roots of his brand, Bobby Hundreds is now taking us behind the scenes of The Hundreds’ screenprinting shop, Mixed Media Productions in downtown Los Angeles. This is the same shop that The Hundreds contracted at the beginning for runs of 24 or 36 shirts at a time, before it buying out when the brand’s rapid growth necessitated a dedicated shop to produce a volume that could keep pace. Here, we’re introduced to Jon Hundreds, who manages all of the printing details within, along with a cast of a few other characters dedicated to keeping The Hundreds’ design machine and silkscreening process chugging along smoothly.
The Fisheye-Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 lens, first produced in 1970 at the Photokina trade show in Cologne, holds the distinction of not only offering an angle of view of 220ยบ, but also being known at the time as the world’s most “extreme wide-angle” lens. The lens officially went into production in 1972 and uses 12 glass elements in nine groups with a total weight of 5.2kg. The extremely wide-angle lens from Nikkor is available via Grays of Westminster for £100,000 GBP (approximately $161,400 USD) for those of you with the deep pockets and the desire to own a piece of camera history.

Starting on Friday, April 27, you’ll be able to order anything in the line from the brand’s online shop as well as Hall of Fame’s flagship store in Los Angeles.

2013 Scion FR-S
Scion has announced full details for the FR-S – making the sports car the fifth model to become a part of the Scion family. The FR-S, which stands for Front-engine, Rear-wheel drive, Sport; is Scion’s definition of an authentic rear-wheel-drive sports car with exceptionally balanced performance and handling, compelling style, flexible utility and surprising fuel efficiency. Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, special amenities include paddle shifters and Dynamic Rev Management technology. The FR-S’s 2.0-liter, naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine is the result of a joint development between Toyota and Subaru which sees the 200 horsepower engine getting an EPA-estimated rating of 34 mpg on the highway when paired with the automatic transmission, and 30 mpg with the manual transmission. Priced at a reasonable $24,200 USD, the 2013 Scion FR-S is an affordable offering with sports car performance.
