Showing one cropped just to see the resolution… otherwise as-shot.
Been so so long since I did any street photos. I stopped around the time I sold all my film cameras. Digital has never struck me as ‘the same’.
Loved shooting Leica/rangefinder. Fast, manual focus, pot luck. Digital failed to show any character, or focus fast enough, or give satisfactory manual focus. Big bulky lenses etc etc.
I’d put the 16/2.8 pancake on a Nex3N in the hope it would do the things, but didn’t get on that well with it. Not bad, just not right for me.
Recently resurrected the camera. Bought the 7Artisans ‘biscuit’ toy lens fixed aperture but focus ring with no focus marks.
Out and about in Oxford today. Baby-outfit was Swindon beforehand.
Cropped image shows what I wanted …full size shows I’m too used to 35-50mm on film and not 28mm.
Really like this toy lens. The low resolution has a very film-like effect. Awful magenta fringing and vignette are Lomo as hell.
