OK, it's a slow day and I'm bored sitting around waiting for the stupid bowl.
I bought this ugly duckling for cheap due to it's cosmetics (which I actually like). A correct yellow filter filter would have cost more than the camera, so I glued on a series V to the front. You can still shut the clam shell front, so that's nice. The shots you get are as good as your ability to guess the distances. The lens is not as sharp as my old Ia w/ a Xenar 50 3.5, but since it's an old camera it might just be my sample. I shot half a roll of Tri-X and developed it in some old D76 that is past it's prime. Either I blew the focus, the shutter speed was too slow for handheld, or my wife moved, but I like the blurry shot, so here it is. Her blouse on the bottom right looks sorta in focus, and that's closest to the lens, so I suspect my distance guessing needs some work. Many of the shots were in the gloomy part of the day, so things may go better when the sun is out.
