Very good picture!

I like the way it shouts “Free calls for everyone. Right here”, but then in a small quiet voice, add “Calls to anywhere in Australia.” 
Looks more like a bug and dust convention than a phone booth.
Somehow when I go into an internally-lighted – but externally-visible – place like this (including my car at night after I unlock it), I always feel like I’m on stage. With the internal lighting, once you’re under it you can’t see much outside. It’s a kind of vulnerable feeling, IMO.

I think this can be posted here (came a bit late to my mind) but I didn’t want to double post so I just linked it.

Been trying out a new lens I got almost for free. 
An Asanuma 135mm f2.8 in M42 mount, here adapted to a Sony A7s mk1.
I’ve never heard of Asanuma, so assume it’s one of those generic lenses that were sold under different brands. Anyway, it’s rather better than I expected - nicely sharp stopped down a little, and the bokeh is nice too.

I loved that lottery when semi randomly buying vintage lens … but I seldom resold the one I ended up not using so I stopped before it became a hoarding habit.
But cheap lens hunting is a lot of fun
Is that vintage corolla your ride ? (I assume its a Toyota corolla ?)

Selling?? How does that work? 
But seriously, you have a point!
No, not my ride, a friend’s project. It’s a Honda CRX. Not that common, at least in Australia…
nice, sure more fun than a corolla, hope it’s the v-tech engine I think the long focal kind of compressed the hood leading to confusion
The colors look great and warm, I don’t know if it’s your grading or the lens rendition … I’ve been surprised about how different lens render the color differently. Never got to properly check if the radioactive coating turning yellowish had a lot of impact or not …

I don’t know, I must confess I’ve never been a Honda person… 
There’s a few Hondas competing in the local and state level rallys around here though.
I used to be sceptical about this, but now I’ve got more older and ‘interesting’ lenses I’m not so much…
I haven’t noticed anything special with the 135mm, but I haven’t really thought about it tbh.
Here’s the sidecar (from dt 4.7-something…) in case you’d like to take a peek.

Mine is the relatively boring Ford Mondeo out of focus on the left!

I have a friend who sees faces everywhere, and she has kind of infected me, too.
This ‘couple’ was spotted by my wife, actually:
And this one is next to our building (sorry about the crappy phone shot – digital zoom):
