An inexperienced photographer, a cheap camera rangefinder camera and roll of mistakes.
I'm used to use mirrorless cameras and, when shoot film, slrs. When I saw a full automatic rangefinder being sold in a cheap price, my bargain hunter mind just trigger and I had to got this. 100kr, a bit less than 10 euro (and almost this expend in batteries since this camera doesn't turn off and the battery is adpated with foil, pure gambiarra).
The camera fits really well in my hands, very confortable. I wen't to the zone, silent shutter, really nice shots being made in the streets of Waterloo. I was machine. Back home, film unloaded and send to the local lab to develop. Yes, I miss focus most of them. I have to learn to learn/remember to check the focus patch.
Nothing is really lost, I have some good ones at the end, some in focus and others slighty out of. This small beautiful camera might be a good learning tool (and a battery eater, but I'm working in make it easy to remove and add the batteries so I can save energy while the camera is not in use)
