EXT. DRY BRIDGE MARKET - DAY A bustling marketplace in Tbilisi. The protagonist, a renowned photography writer, stumbles upon a stall filled with vintage cameras. They pick up a FED 2, intrigued. WRITER: The FED 2, a Soviet classic. It's amazing that this rangefinder camera was produced between 1955 and 1970, inspired by the German Leica. An elderly SELLER overhears and approaches, smiling. SELLER: I see you appreciate the classics. That camera has quite a history. WRITER: Did you use it? SELLER: (chuckles) Yes, I was a photographer in the USSR. Many memories were captured through that lens. WRITER: Amazing how equipment has evolved, but the essence of photography transcends the tool itself. SELLER: (nodding) Indeed, it's the connection between the photographer and the subject that truly matters. WRITER: How much for the FED 2? SELLER: For a fellow enthusiast, $200. The writer raises an eyebrow, considering. WRITER: Hmm, that's a bit steep. How about $40? SELLER: (laughs) You drive a hard bargain. But, for the love of photography, let's do $40. The writer smiles, satisfied. They load a film into the camera. WRITER: May I take your portrait? SELLER: (smiling) It would be an honor. The writer raises the FED 2 to their eye, capturing the moment and immortalizing their shared passion for photography.
