Praktica M60, some more from the 2nd film

I used a 200 film with the Praktica M60.

The Praktica M60 is compact camera that takes good pictures in bright sunlight, or with flash. It needs no focusing.



Here are some more samples from the 2nd film

Nikon Zoom 500Af, simple compact zoom camera

I found a Nikon Zoom 500 Af camera. It is a compact point'n'shoot with a 38-105mm lens. Aperture seems to be rather small around f5.6 (wide) to 9(tele)


There is an LCD display to change some settings like flash options, self timer and infinity setting.
The autofocus works only in the center of the frame and can not be memorized by half clicking the shutter. I also did not find a low light warning. There is a red led that lights up when a picture is focus and can be recorded.

I used an old 100 ASA film that expired in 2005. The negatives were very weak and needed some extra PP.
At wide aperture images look softer, at smaller apertures, in good light, images are sharper.

 I used the Tele end here
