It is the antithesis of perfection and therefore looks to be exciting and refreshing. It has good bokeh. When taped black it is unobtrusive. Looks like a toy so no one is threatened. Auto focus. Big negs. Price is far below any insurance deductible so if you lose it or have it stolen you don't even bother reporting it. Flash synchs at all speed. :-) Carl Socolow ARCHIVE this!!!!!!!!!!
