Another film scan, this time from a new friend: a 1959 Konica "S" 35mm rangefinder. I picked it up for 1,000 yen (somewhere around 8 bucks) from Yahoo Japan Auctions. If you want to find out how uncommon this camera is, just try finding any info regarding it on any English pages on the net. Not that it's fantastic or nothing....
Take a close look at the signpost near the center of the photo.

@Art Monkey: Thanks! I was very pleased with how the images from this camera and film turned out. The old uncoated lens provided exactly the sort of "retro" look I had hoped it would.
Cool shot, love the atmosphere !

Fantastic retro colours going on here Mike, Like it was taken sometime in the 60's.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks very much. It was exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for from the 50s vintage uncoated lens. I was afraid that it would be impossible without some film from that era as well.
PREVIEW ONLY
