Behind the glass

Dog waiting behind the glass in Downtown Miami, Florida, USA, 2011. Street Photography of Miami, San Francisco and Key West by Emir Shabashvili, see http://street-foto.com, http://miamistreetphoto.com, http://miamistreetphotography.com or http://miamistreetphotographer.com

This photo had been taken with old soviet Kiev 4am camera from 80s. The model is based on wartime Contax; it is heavy balky beast; I liked it a lot. The lens, 53mm f/1.8 Helios 103, is sharp but very flare-prone. The rangefinder, while somewhat awkward in use, is precise. I think it has one of the widest bases among all the 35mm rangefinders. All in all, I glad I brought this piece of aluminium, iron and glass from Russia where I bought it for 650 rubles AKA $20:)
