I like instantly knowing what this is...without knowing what this is...in detail. The old flavor feel in the tonality enriches my experience.

The tube is needed to focus the lens. Yes, believe it or not, this image is in focus. Every optic has some focal length associated with it. This one is probably about 150mm (roughly the length of the paper tube).
