Tourist (craft) market in Maputo, Mozambique

I created this picture in 2013 when visiting my sister in Moçambique. While I'm not that much into tourist areas in general, there was a unique laid-back atmosphere in this market and the fact that the sellers were hanging their items into the trees, with a light breeze, gave a unique ambience to all of this.

even if its 2013, it stills looks high quality what did you use for this?

Thanks :) good old analogue photography, which I feel gives impressive contrasts contrary to many jpeg compressions. I'll check later back at home to see whether I can find the film to tell you what exactly I was using.
The exact type of camera is actually Minolta 9000 ((of the 500mm-lens series): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_Maxxum_9000

Minolta Maxxum 9000
The Minolta 9000 AF is a professional Single-lens reflex autofocus camera, introduced by Minolta in August 1985. It was both Minolta's and the world's first professional autofocus SLR. It was called Minolta Maxxum 9000 in the US and Minolta α-9000 in Japan.
As the first professional autofocus SLR system ever made, the Minolta 9000 AF sports of number of unique features translating the transition from electro-mechanic cameras to the generation of full electronic cameras. For instance, it is the only autofocus system ever made with a manual film transport rather than automatic electronic winding.
