Well, actually it is about the rise of tourist snaps, except that the average tourist back then would have been slightly more serious about their hobby of course. Still, that opening image is a pretty good "street" shot. Puts all our Leica GAS ambitions in perspective.

Interestingly, the rounded framing was a direct result of lens quality. Apparently the corners were even worse than an average Nikon Z lens...

(Somebody call an ambulance for Bernard, please! ;-)  )
