Before not-buying-any-more-cameras , some were on order ...

Like Kiev2 and KiEV 3 from asterliks - who i can readily recommend - the cameras are better than described , and he fixed a broken window without a problem .

But , what i wanted to say was that I have been advised of the superior finish of the earlier cameras - but my 4 and 4m were so good that i could not expect anything better ...

But the chrome is kinda ''silky '' , less shiny - it looks so much more expensive ...

The entire cameras seem just more real quality somehow - to be honest , not something I associate with USSR camera production ... prejudices again ?

as a little bonus , a very cheap bright blue Zen-it S came with it - with an I 22 lense that I can use !!- and I have been looking through my 1933 and later Elmars and pretend elmars - excellent close up lenses - look , I am doing this for fun - to keep crazee at bay - it needs crazee to kombat it !!

No - i am NOT returning to SLRS - but the diddy Zenit is just so neat - and the dark sqinty ground glass screen isn't like a normal SLRs - I now know why early SLRs were such a pain to use !!!

and it complements my Zorki 1 - both with rigid I 22s .
 
e-bay is out now - not simpley 'cos Asdee can get seriously crazee - so I must focus on the toys that I have ... But , I can't describe how simply surrounding '' me '' with lots of my cameras creates a calm / momentary escape from '' mind noise / astigmatism / tinitus ...
This has never worked for me before ...
and joining in these discussions is magic for someone unable to talk properly to real people ...

I hope you don't overdo it, or they'll remove your computer to pay for the things you bought! Then again, GAS attack is hard to stop... I feel my hand creeping closer to my ATM card...
