a not her home

Canon A35 Datelux

She came along together with my Yashica Electro 35 CCN Wide. I don’t find anything amusing with her. I don’t know, I just don’t like her. The film crank lever is broken, but you can still use it without any problems, lens is clean, the flash is working fine. It is well built too.  The only thing I find interesting is that she have a pop-up flash and a different kind of film rewind lever than most rangefinders. I had never used her.  I hate the sound of the shutter too. It doesn’t go ‘click’ or ‘chrk’ or ‘tick’, it goes something like ‘tszszszk’. A little buzzing sound that’s very annoying for me. Oh, and the idea of getting the date when you expose a film printed on your negatives is just.. what can I say.. I might say pretty dumb, but that’s not it. It may come handy and useful for others though, so I don’t want to use the word dumb for the technology, it’s just  I just don’t like it. Period.
