New Zorki 1C from Oleg and simple cheap lighting

[comp_wiz101]

Hello everyone, it's been a little while since I've posted anything (I've been running around with a LF rangefinder!) but I got to thinking today that I just have to take a decent photo of my new Oleg-treatment Zorki 1C.​

For anyone that is curious about the lighting, I found that photo-flood units where I am cost waaaay too much new, so since I didn't need the ultra-high brightness of the hi-watt photofloods I decided on another tack. I went down to the local hardware store and purchased two clamp-on tungsten floodlamps. I then purchased some blue-tinted daylight bulbs and voila!... a tungsten lighting kit. Since most of my close-ups are small, different backgrounds are supplemented with a handkerchief.​

Hey wiz, definately a nice photo. Zorki.1s - hard to beat. How 'bout slipping this in at the "Show off your FSU" thread?

Oh yes, here's a picture of the lighting setup (Yes, the mug is optional):

And a shot of a... TLR...sorry?

Sounds like you have a proxy blocker or firewall keeping it out. I'll try posting the files later.
