Hello to all of you,
This is my first post .
I have been reading through a lot of the posted stuff, and a lot of the questions I had are answed there. I have been into photography for many years, and like a lot of people have followed the path of the digital magi. Now I have all the digital toys, I am looking backwards to where i started.

So I bought a used Bessa L, and a Jupiter 8,on ebay,( What freedom ). also a Hassleblad 500C, with a few extras, at prices i could not afford before the digital age was with us I have started film photography again. I am very pleased with the Bessa L but my next buy is the Bessa R with the 35 lens. which i have been reading about on this site.The Deal from CameraQuest looks to good to miss

Regards
Cameramanic

PS
Nikon D100 going Cheap.

I am new too 🙂
got a Zorki 1 + industar22 in januar, costed ca. 10$. Newer had a camera that would work so smooth and quiet. Love it for its size (every day in my jacket bocket) and hate it because its scratches my glasses :S
Have also two zorki 4`s, one with jupiter 8 and the other with jupiter 12, belonged to my grandfathers, but I newer used them till resently, because they aren`t smaller then my mechanical SLR-s. But I guess the guys in the russian RF forum will convince me to give them a fair chanse🙂

Welcome to the forum. I got my new Bessa R w/35/2.5 yesterday and have been doing some shooting today. And, the "deal" from Cameraquest was indeed too good to miss.
