Posted - Dec 04 2007 : 04:50:12 AM Thank you ! Yes i was floored too about the quality coming from this little pretty device ! Thinking first that pictures cames like Holga or Lomo lca pictures i saw with vigneting, blur, ghost lightning and all that kind of defects, absolutly not, it is very very good ! Maybe lucky with this camera, a "top" sample ? I don't know. (bought from friend mermoz37 collection) For compare, the T43 of the Cosmic Symbol i have is by far not so good... Surely i have to test someday another Smena for more understanding ! I believe that some of you here know much more than me about these products ! Thanks to let me know by sharing your great experience !
The blue color rendition is due to the tungsten film used. It is a 3200°K color balance made for artificial lights instead of the usual 5500°K daylight films. Streets lights are all different kind of color temperature, so it is not easy to catch the good colors ! The last photo of this serial is well balanced, so this area suposed to be close to 3200°K lighning...
