Wall Test for Trip

[Rob MacKillop]

It's not a serious review if it ain't got a wall test...

Red. I went looking for reds today, but nothing but green, save for this very nice old sign:

Not bad but there are clearly a few issues with your camera. The wall reveals quite some curvature in the field of view and this shows up again in the fence. The fact that the ducks are not immediately attracted to the camera (even though it is in the hands of a 'Hotty Scotty' of some renown) may be considered in both a positive and negative light - good for candids as no one will take you seriously, bad for approaching potential models as no one will take you seriously! However, I cannot really take this review that seriously as at least one of your test targets (Water of Leith colour reference target) is significantly out of date!

Aside from that, some nice shots there Rob.

What Pete said!

How are you liking shooting with it Rob?

Well, it's a bit of fun. The AE seems pretty good, so it really is just point and click. Everybody just smiles when they see it, and it does seem to be a catalyst for cosy reminiscences and discussions of the good old days...it was clearly a popular camera in its day.
