A piece of street art, this one taken with the wide angle lens.

This is an outdoor camera, but I managed to take an indoor shot back taking a mirror off the wall and propping against a window to catch some late afternoon direct sunlight. The circle at the top of the image is lens flare as a result of this. This one used the "tele" lens.

Not surprisingly the quality was not very good from this camera, the framing in the viewfinder is particularly inaccurate, with subjects that were central in the viewfinder being to the left on the photos. This is a square crop to get rid of a large area of black tarmac.

Week 329 - Tele-Wide Outdoor Camera

An insert in the original box which this camera came in shows it to have been a promotional gift from Readers Digest magazine. There is a sliding mechanism which changes the focla length from 32mm to 45mm, the latter is hardly "wide" and the latter is certainly not "tele" but I suppose it was mainly done for novelty reasons. I'll be using some expired film in it, as I don't expect the quality to be up to much.

There is a little flare evident on this photo, taken into the light in the Victorian prison in Lincoln Castle.

Another handheld shot at full aperture, I braced myself and used 1/15th sec here.

I used Fomapan 100 black and white film in the camera, this rather old-fashioned emulsion seemed appropriate for the era the camera was made in. This is an indoor shot, using 1/30th sec at full aperture.
