That is. You buy this cheesy camera, you get a roll of expired film and it's way too obvious that you gotta shoot whatever you might find, as you're anxiuos to see how this metal box performs.
Geez, it does perform well! The glass is clear and sharp, the barrel easy to handle, the whole camera is a feather in your hands.
This folk was eating a snack (pizza, nice snack indeed) and I was focusing a bit aside, as in the mess you can't be noticed too much. The distance was approximately less than 10 ft. and yo him pizza was evidently much more important than me. That's the shot. Nice focus, good bokeh, and the film after all wasn't too flat.
The negative has been re-shot with my 5700 and then inverted digitally. I'm curious at what results might I get if I digitized it with a decent scanner...
In the meantime, enjoy this street shot, and try it yourselves, street is pure fun!
