I have found a camera to use !

As I mentioned in an earlier post I currently do not own any film cameras and a search of the local auction site just produced a lot of overpriced rubbish and things that almost certainly don't work.

This morning I purchased a Zorki-4 and Jupiter 8 from Oleg Khalyavin and I hope it arrives before the end of the contest, I'm sure it will. Due to the time difference Mr K and family are still sleeping but I expect the deal to be done soon

A few days ago I got some film at a good price, 3 rolls of Tri-X and 2 of Delta 400. That should do the trick.

Love the photos that have been posted so far , thank you all for playing.

p.s Does anyone have an opinion on giving a prize to the winner, that one photo that makes us all envious? I have my 10th Anniversary RFF softie as a prize at the moment.

Hurray! Right now my two main cameras are Kiev and Horizon, a bit of competition encourage to finally upload some photos on RFF.

Great shots so far. Love the Portugal protest shots, I even saw a couple "hammer and sickles" in there!

I should probably load one of these up and get shooting then.

Only after I saw the developed film I knew that the second shutter curtain is over tensed.

Greetings Comrades! I'm new to rangefinders but am really enjoying my Kiev 4A. We're having some heavy pipework installed which provides me with great industrial photo ops.
