Dad Drain II
This was a few moments before the shot I already posted (Dad Drain).
I think I like the other shot better as it has clear separation between the dad and kid.

The most comprehensive source of information can be found at this link. Here I summarise some of that information, and compare it in some detail to three of my favourite small 35mm Olympus cameras, the XA, XA2 and mjuii.
