A hearty walk through a park in the morning heightens my mood compared to the dreary everyday grind of taking public transport to work. Throw in a camera, and I might even start to look forward to getting up and out. The slapdash “that’ll do” attitude of Soviet-era engineering adds its kind of charm - and problems - to an otherwise pretty decent camera. Oily aperture blades stick to where you left them, and somewhere, there are light leaks on the camera body or lens. Surprisingly, “generative remove” in Adobe Lightroom does a decent job when used to fix the latter.
