These are gorgeous, Joao. Many years ago I had a strong desire to track down a fully functional Iskra - a desire that eventually fizzled out by the apparent difficulty (and price) of that quest. These images have definitely rekindled that desire. Really strong compositions. I love how small the person is in the Pier shot - makes you appreciate the vastness of the sea.

The sky tones and textures are lovely, too. Did you use a filter for that? I don't remember Shanghai ever being that good!

I haven't done as much shooting this month as I would have liked. Here are my submissions.

Thank you for the kind comments

Iskra : I was lucky in buying mine as an inexpensive "parts" camera from the U.S. and sending it to Oleg in Russia. He did his magic and the camera works flawlessly since then . Not a good example of ergonomics, but I got used to it.

Pictures: I used a yellow filter, yes. And I was lucky with the sky and the light, it was a very special morning. The Shanghai GP3 can give excelet tonalities (I used HC-100 in semi-stand), but the emulsion is unreliable , I had to correct several white spots after scanning : Something I don't like at all. It happens with some rolls, not with others from the same batch.

Best regards
Joao

Well in the nick of time I received an M42 to Lmount adapter to try my very early Helios 44 5.8cm f/2 lens! From what I've gathered it a prototype, and from what I can tell I'm 99% sure this has Zeiss elements! For the price I paid and probably the history behind it, this will bw fun to use on my SL!
