Privileged
Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Personal
Feel privileged. Yesterday, my colleague brought to office his “prized possession”, a Yashica camera, dating back to the 60s.
The “coolest” thing about it is: manual focus! Yeah, you have to slowly focus on a subject - one thing that you would never learn in this day and age. I don’t know what’s the exact term for it, but the viewfinder has a dot in the middle, where you will see a mirrored image if the subject is not in focus. Simply turn the lens until you see a clear picture in the dot.
One thing I didn’t really understand is, how the heck it can have the exposure setting on the lens??
Last but not least, me with the camera.
Pictures taken with my friend’s camera phone.
