What can I say but wow! Top pics! Love the street portrait of the guy with the chook on his head.
If you were underwhelmed by the experience, couldn't really tell by your pics.

Steve,
While the image of the chook is fabulous, I also love the second, with the old cars, and the buildings behind it. There's the character of the place exposed in that image; a great capture.

Thanks Gary - Those cars are such an interesting part of Cuba. Apparantly most of them have had the original engines replaced and converted to Russian deisel engines (I guess they couldnt get spare parts from USA under the embargo). An intersting fact

Great series of shots, I actually like the first one the most, well spotted and nicely processed.
I want to go to cuba now..

Do you know much about those cameras? EXA-1? Were they a East-German/Soviet brand?

East german from the 60s then. I suspected there may have been a communist connection.
Anyone ever used one?

It does look to be a very interesting camera, but sadly I have not used one
