There is a time discrepancy between camera and lens. That lens will mount but otherwise be dysfunctional on that camera.

As a photographer I respond to that subliminal message.

However it is indeed true that cameras tend to look better with a lens on them.

I get your comment - dont worry :)  I am from the digital era - I wouldn't know how to operate an older film camera like that. I find it sad that I missed the film era -

Your comment is actually very valuable Bjørn - because it does distract and make the image less credible - so definitely point taken.

A true photographer is someone who looks at an image like this, and sees the details of the camera gear.

A photographer tourist is fascinated by the vestiges of snow alongside this mountain road in summer. He should have been there a few months earlier :D (or not, as the road closes down when snow depth exceeds the reach of the snow clearance machinery somewhere around 12-15 m).

Photogs in action at an annual event in our city: celebrating the return of light now that half the winter has soon passed.
