I bought a Helios 44m-4 58mm f/2 lens sometime ago. I paid about AUD$50 and it came with a Zenit camera. Both items were Soviet built in the hundreds of thousands – perhaps millions. I understand you could get them much cheaper overseas.

These girls were probably more likely heading to the few night clubs during the night.
Walking home at about 9.30pm (must have been a Saturday or Friday). Half of George St was closed but lots of people (many with kids as well) were still arriving to see Vivid during this cold Sydney – it may have been just high single digit Celsius but that is considered frigid by Sydney standard.
In the last hour (well second last for others but it was the last hour for me), I took out the Hasselbald with a roll of Fuji 160. This is straight out from the scanner at Foto Riesel. I can’t say I am happy with it. Especially after the experience I had with the shoot at Ironfest. Maybe it was because I was a little tired and hungry by that time (I had brunch earlier in the morning and skipped on lunch). I was also probably a little ambitious asking the model to spin her hair at speed of 125th – this would explain the slightly off focus. And I guess the lighting was a little overpowering.
