Best FSU camera website ...

[fredus]

Hi there,

As I'm getting more and more interested in FSU camera, I'm trying to read as much as I can. Could we gather a list of must read website talking about FSU camera ?

Thanks for your help !

Maybe not the best, my favorite is Joe Blazik's web site . He doesn't cover Kiev rangefinders in detail, though.

Ok,

This site

Has a lot of FSU cameras, and some eclectic things too.

Agreeing with Kim on this one.... there's several good sites out there, but the one I visit the most... Wayne Cornell's

Too bad about Wayne getting ticked off and quitting RFF.

If you are looking for a site with nice pictures of Soviet RF's that will hook you first time and turn you into a rabid FSU shooter/collector overnight Jim's web site gets my top vote 😀

I like http://www.fotoua2.com/index0.html

It's a comprehensive collector's guide, much like an online version of Princelle's FSU book. Not much about repairs and stuff though. If you want to learn how to repair things, I agree about Rick Oleson's camera notes, and I like Tom Tiger's Zenit Site if you want some good info on FSU Zenits.

Unfortunately, for the Kiev enthusiasts, one of my favorite Kiev sites (Kiev Survival Site ) has gone down...

This link does not work any longer... perhaps that is what R.J. was referring to...

Here are a few others I have used in the past...

http://homepage.mac.com/mattdenton/photo/cameras/zorki_4.html
http://www.fortunecity.com/marina/marine/569/rusrngfdrs/index.html

plus I have a few sites bookmarked that sell FSU equipment, but I have not purchased anything from them, so I could not vouch for them...

It still works:

My bad on Wayne's link, guys. Thanks for the HU... link edited in above post.

Some good links here... a thread worth bookmarking, heh?
