Praktica M60, wide simple and good

The Praktica M60 is a simple point-and-shoot camera with a wide lens

The body is very compact and has a fixed wide angle 28mm length lens made of glass. There is only one aperture, f8 I believe. Shutter speed is fixed at 1/80th sec. If the night mode is selected from the top display the shutter can go to as low as 1/4th sec that makes difficult to hand hold the camera. Other options on the display are Auto Flash, red-eye, no flash, forced flash and self timer with flash on. The wide angle lens needs no focussing for objects more than 1 meter far.

The camera takes very sharp pictures at daylight with some vignetting. With the low shutter it is difficult not to shake the camera.

I loaded the camera with a 100 ASA film that expired in 2004. It seems that the lens is not sharp at infinity. For distances 1 to 10 meters all objects are sharp. However the colors are very bright and saturated.  Here are some samples:

I used the forced flash setting for fill-in
 

 
 


 Background at infinity is not very clear


I used the night setting for the previous one - I see no difference...
