Avatar Quandary

[dee]

The black Zorki S featured on my avatar was bought from arax[ he of the big stuff ] , and was really rough to use - at £80 it was also very expensive .
I sent it back , and months later it returned - no better ! Not only that the aperture ring on the I 22 does not line up ...
arax will no longer answer my e-mails ...
The crazy thing is that I have decided to keep it until i can afford Oleg to make it special for me ... [ now is consolidation time ! ] the Zorki S is my all time favourite camera - I like the simplified shape - and the black is neat !
I reckoned that after 6 months of messing about the chances of a refund are poor - and I have wasted too much postage .
So , my avatar is [ almost ] my least useable camera - should it be replaced by one which actually works ?? !! Is working an essential element of USSR camera crazee ?
I am inclined to leave it , 'cos it shows how daft ''I'' am !

dee, your avatar looks smashing! keep it or replace it with an equally smashing shot of your other cams.

Yes - I might take some other shots of the little beggar !

But never buying from arax again !

Hey dee, Reagan told me that you've dealt with Blyatnikov before, is he a reliable seller? what did you get from him? I'm thinking of getting a black Fed.

Thanks!
