Just wanted to share a picture.

Took this as I was leaving my house. It just made me think of different definitions of 'portable'. Heh.

PS: Picture taken with a minolta dimage x, thats a zorki 1 + industar 22 lens.

Looks like maybe a Zorki 1D. If it was a 1B the body probably would crumple if you tried to put it in a pocket🙂

Just not the same as the Leica Girl.

 

[JoeFriday]

is that a Zorki in your pocket or are you... nevermind

I think more cameras should have lenses that sound like chemical weapons... "thousands hurt as terrorists plant a cannister of industar 22 on the tube (subway)" 😀

A loaded .22 Industar? sweet 🙂

its a fine zorki (got it from oleg), it would look nice too... if I ever got around to putting that leather skin on it (http://aki-asahi.net/store/html/zorki-1/02/black-ost/01.html).

as for names, I always liked their 'cosmic' lens names. Im currently craving an orion 15.

Portable maybe, but I wouldn't want anything thats been in my trouser pocket anywhere near my face.

You must be in your 70's or 80's then, Dave? 🙂

 

[Dave H]

sorry frank, just 37, but, the bran and fruit diet is beginning to slowly filter through, (or quite quickly in some instances) !

Great stuff; gotta try that with my collapsible Summicron when it arrives...
