Description
Sha'ban is a serious trouble maker. Lives in the alley ways of old Cairo. Gets in fights for no reason. Harasses every living thing that comes within his vicinity (that day it was his neighbor; a 60 year old woman) . He seems to practically do nothing.He has a great sense of humor and if you are interesting he'll buy you a soda.

Quite a character I wish the boy in the background was a bit in focus, great bokeh nonetheless.
Btw do you mind if I ask what type of film did you use? I really like the colors.

a cheapo kodak 400 ultra
The camera is a minolta himatic IIIs (i think thats what its called. I could check the name but its lying in the floor of my car) its a fixed lens rangefinder with a sweet 40mm f1.7 lens.
thanks for taking interest, really appreciated.

What a coincidence! I have the very same film loaded in my camera since forever.
I'm planning to get a rangefinder myself when I have enough money, better start saving up I guess.

I just placed an order for a Bessa r3m and a CV 35mm f1.2 lens, it all arrives in september. Stay tuned.
which rangefinder do you have in mind?

Ever since I saw this guy's work [link] I knew I want a R3M (also since mechanical cameras last longer, am I correct?). As for the lens, it'll probably going to be a 50mm but I'm not familiar with the brands and have no idea which is better :S I guess I'll ask around before I get anything.
