Black Canonets are nice, but go ~$200 and more. Originally, they ran an extra $10 over chrome models. Canonets can deliver excellent results, and are great shooters.

Nice!! You really can't go wrong with that model. Sharp lens, quiet shutter, lightweight. Almost perfect.

This is a very good start! I really like the ones taken of the two women preparing food (ccScan29) and the food in the market (ddScan41). Both have a lot of bite - good contrast and focus.

You are looking for interesting visuals, that's great! Keep it up!! The Canonet is an excellent street camera whether it is silver or black...

Nice photos, maxim. Try to remember to keep your subject off center; it's more interesting. Once you learn that rule, break it!

Sadly not too much Zuiko glass any more - except on the rangefinders! (Oly SP, ECR, XA, XA4)
