This photo relates to the previous page (with a recent photo), and now showing how that painting looked like 8 years ago; in June 2017 when the schoolkids had painted a "Sony Player" with wonderfully bright, strong colors. I loved the sight. Since then however, the appereance has degraded vastly... I think they once wrote "Sony" on it, but I can't remember exactly: They once "re-painted" the board years later (2021 ?) with a lot less fun colors and the name "Sony" on it.

Anyway; what a difference.

 

This older photo

was made with the Pentax 67 II camera, and the bulky "cinematic" Pentax 6x7 SMC Takumar 55mm ƒ 3.5 wideangle lens - on Fujicolor Super 400 film which i later developed at home.

As i mentioned earlier, this Takumar 55mm ƒ 3.5 lens works very well on film, despite its age. But a lot less good when using a digital sensor, like i did a week ago with the rotating 150 MP Vertex method with the Fujiflm GFX camera (which gives true 7x7 cm mediumformat)
