Dr Karl Havens left us a year ago this week and we still miss him dearly. To mark his passing, we take Karl’s memory to our desert island and do our best to work out what cameras and lenses he might have taken with him. So please come and take a trip that Karl would have loved and hated in equal measure as we agonize over what he may have picked.
