"Expresso"

I still love the streets man, whenever I can get to them :-)

Note: Sure the Samster uses cool cameras like the 36mp A7R,
but he also uses old dinosaurs like the 1.5mp Minolta Dimage EX 1500
used for this shot.

You could consider this camera the original "GXR" with its two
interchangeable lens modules. I'm using the 38-115mm zoom, but
seeking the hard to find 28mm f/1.9 module.

The camera is a bit of a sleeper, hard to find these days. I love the images it takes,
they have a bit of that hard to come by "film-like" look. The zoom has distortion at its
widest setting, but the images are sharp for 1.5 megapixels. Love the camera, maybe more
than the A7R for street shots! Slow to start up, slow to focus, but gritty shots the way I like it.
Almost like a built-in Instagram or Hipstamatic.
