The CM4S is one of my fav 35mm cameras, I got it from Peterqd (thanks Peter). I use it very often because is small and light, even with the minor drawbacks the camera has: The LED light meter (quite precise but difficult to see under strong sunlight) and the sensible shutter trigger that sometimes triggers the shot when trying to measure the light (half press). Letting aside these minor problems, the camera is highly reliable and quite capable. I was wondering if using it with a cheap zoom and a cheap film would deliver acceptable results. This is what I got (unretouched pictures, just reduced to web size):

Nice to see that Gaudi's dragon is back in good shape!

thanks for the nice pics Jes. I always love to see the Sagrada Familia from the distance. Believe it or not it makes me happy to see that it's still under construction. It makes me go back with the mind to the times when a century or more was the time needed to build the big cathedrals. A time when time meant care and quality. As opposed to the rushed ugly constructions of today.

Thanks for your kind comments, Orio and Poilu.
Unfortunately the construction of the Sagrada Familia has been rushed by political reasons. Current generation wants it to be finished,
The neighbours are fed up of noise, big trucks and dust.
I used to work in the nearby of the building and the old part distillates a middle age feeling that the new one doesn't. To me it makes no sense to use modern building techniques just to quickly finish it...
As Orio said, it's nice to see it's still under construction. But not for too long.
Knowing you like it, one of these days I'll do a walk around to report the current status.

And yes, Gaudi's Dragon was successfully repaired and now there are no traces of the attack remaining there...

Kind regards.
Jes.
