Perfection doesn’t exist, but there are matches between people and their cameras that work pretty darn well. Well, this is how I crossed paths with the Nikon 元5AF, and it hasn’t left my pocket since.

Even if I only had asked for a 10€ refund, since the camera was listed as “in excellent condition”, but I guess at the end I got myself a free camera, whose only price was a weird sense of guilt about the way things went down with the seller. When, two weeks later, the seller didn’t reply to my friendly claim, I proceeded with a formal one and a few days later I received a message from him, who, with a very upset attitude, said that my claim was unfair but he would refund the whole price of the camera and didn’t care for what I did with it. Actually, once I got it in my hands I could see that the viewfinder was pretty cloudy due to some fungus, so I asked kindly for a partial refund through PayPal. Fortunately, this one wasn’t part of the gang of pricey compact cameras and I could find one on eBay for 40€ shipped, sold. My problem with all of those was their price, way too high for my taste and not in line with the philosophy of «throwing it in my jacket’s pocket and forgetting about it.Īs my research went on and I discovered many other beautiful cameras, I noticed that the Nikon 元5AF was mentioned frequently here and there for the superb lens and the ease of use. The most popular cameras of this category were the Yashica T4, the Contax T2, the Olympus Mju-2 and the Nikon 35/28ti. There I watched a big fat world of possibilities unfold before my eyes. This unbearable necessity overlapped with my all-time desire of a camera that I could keep in my pocket at all time and bring with me everywhere, so I started my search for a compact camera with a fixed lens. Shortly after I felt the need to add another film camera to my collection, as the Canon felt clunky and the autofocus was kind of frustrating. I started shooting film at the beginning of last year when I picked up a mint Canon Eos 620 that I intended to use with my EF lenses (which were tired of my aps-c digital camera).
