comment on Flickr Alain Canaque One more frame from contact sheet taken with the old & small Olympus Pen : this is a 24x36 regular frame and you got two vertical 24x18 pics = 72 shots on the roll. Easy does it. Good for "point & shoot" the beach life.... canaque,film,analog,rio,janero,brazil,beach,life All Rights Reserved
