I love the little fringe the film mask on this camera creates, it makes the image look like a postage stamp.\u00a0 I’m kidding\u00a0of course about not cropping but\u00a0I do think it’s important to use as much of the\u00a0negative as possible\u00a0and it’s good practice to be aware of everything in the frame.\u00a0 I’ve written about this camera previously, a couple years ago, and that can be found here Super Paxette<\/a>.\u00a0 I would like to add\u00a0though how fun this camera is to use and I mean that in comparison to all other cameras not just as a nostalgia thing.\u00a0 It’s diminutive size\u00a0really lends itself to being carried in the palm of your hand instead of around your neck.<\/p>\n

You can see here how the ten curved apperature blades help form a resonably round aperature opening at f5.6<\/p>\n

Sitting behind the lens the leaf shutter displayed here\u00a0helps keep this camera quiet and also, as with all leaf shutters,\u00a0it produces little to no camera shake. This is because the blades have very little weight and the symmetrical opening and closing cancels out any directional momentum.\u00a0 The top speed of this camera with it’s Prontor-SVS shutter however is limited to 1\/300 sec<\/p>\n
