This is the camera my grandfather used to take pictures with when he was young. The Halina-Viva.

I couldn't find very much information about her on the internet. All I know is what I learned on studying her myself. The camera has an 80mm lens attached to it with f/3.5 all the way to f/22. It can be manually focused from 1m to infinite.

I just wish I had something to put inside this beauty and try to take pictures. Now all I can do is let it sit on the shelf and just look awesome there. Perhaps someday I'll get a chance to try the camera. Perhaps.

Anyways it is amazing in it's own way. A small glimpse to the past of photography.

And how much have things changed? A lot. And still, not much at all.
