Arriving at the airport by your own car is a convenient and cheaper solution than hiring a taxi. But what to do with the vehicle when we fly out for a few days? Long-term parking can provide a solution. According to the data of the Civil Aviation Authority, in 2015 Polish airports served over 30 million passengers, which means an increase by 10% compared to 2014. Everything indicates that 2016 will turn out to be even better in this respect, because already after the first half of the year the number of passengers was 8% higher than in the corresponding period of 2015.

If the draft law amending the excise duty enters into force, the effects of the new regulation will also affect people who decide to buy a new or used motorhome. What changes can we expect?. According to the proposed regulations, the excise duty rate will be influenced by three elements: the emission standard or the car's production year, engine displacement and the depreciation factor calculated based on the car's age. In practice, this should mean that the excise tax for newer, greener cars will be lower, for 11-year-old cars it will be similar to the current one, and for older cars it will be increasing.

When we think of cameras, some of the biggest brands usually come to mind. Nikon certainly appears among them. One of the most influential manufacturers of photographic equipment in the world. In this article, we will look at the history of this company and find out why it is still worth using this equipment. The Nikon company was founded in 1927 in Tokyo. It was then that three small optical factories decided to join forces and enter the photographic market together. The first name of the company was Nippon Kogaku Kogoyo, in Polish it means the same as a Japanese optical glass manufacturer from Tokyo. The name perfectly showed the assortment of the company at that time. They were mainly spotting scopes, microscopes and binoculars. The production of photographic lenses was started a little later. In 1946, work on the first model of the camera began, and in 1948 the Nikon I went on sale. It quickly turned out that the products offered by the Japanese brand were not only as good as those from European producers, but even exceeded them in terms of quality. In the 1950s, Nikon equipment crossed the borders of Japan for the first time and hit the world market. Interestingly, the Korean war contributed to this. War correspondents went to Tokyo to repair or maintain their equipment. It was there that they had the opportunity to see Nikon products for the first time. When they noticed that their designs were superior to well-known German brands, they quickly started using Japanese lenses. Thanks to the American press, information spread around the world and Nikon was gaining more and more popularity. To Mark's reputation, it was appreciated by NASA, and the Nikon F camera model was a fixture in American spacecraft.
