A small abandoned castle with a stairlift, quite a boring empty place.

Ricoh 500g

The Ricoh 500 G is a nice and compact Japanese rangefinder camera from around 1972. It's got a 1:2.8 40mm lens and a cds lightmetering cell. I didn't notice the disintegrating lightseal when I loaded the camera for the first time, so the first roll got all smudged and scratched by the loose rubber. Here are some examples (expired Kodak Gold 200).

After more than 4 years of intense usage, the time had come to retire my trusty old Samsung 815pro digital camera. I decided to finally get myself a DSLR and settled on the Sony a580 with the kit 18-70. I also bought a second hand Sigma 10-20 and I already had an old Minolta 35-70 kicking around, these three lenses gave a nice set of options, especially in the wide angle department.

I had an urbex trip planned to Spain, so this was the perfect opportunity to take this new cam for a serious spin. I have to say I'm really happy with my choice, this camera performs as well as I expected it would, especially in low light conditions. I went a bit overboard with using the 10-20 though, I fell in love with the possibilities of shooting in extreme wide angle right away, I hardly even took that lens of my cam. Here are some sample shots:

An abandoned monastery/hospital. It was quite empty, but luckily the architecture was nice, especially the staircase.
