Red Oktober is upon us!

[farlymac]

Got me some more lenses for my Zorki-6, the Jupiter-8, and -12. And, a really nice Zorki-3 that only needs the rangefinder adjusted.

Hopefully the hurricanes will keep to the east of here (better yet, stay off-shore).

Yeah, all month, Greg. Actually, the group is for any photos taken in the month of October from any year with FSU gear.

I'm still trying to get caught up with things after my trip home.

Maybe post pictures here too? Sort of like we do for "Nikon Rangefinder Month" in the Nikon RF part of the forum. And I'll have new pics from my Zorki 4 to pick up tomorrow!

OK then. This from a quite a few years ago. The rodeo was right around the 1st week of October. The kid is mine....and he's not that easily impressed.😀

Zorki-C, I-22, FP-4

Great idea. If I can I'll load up the Zorki 2s

Time to fire up the old Praktiflex.

A German camera?

FSU cameras of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your take-up spools!

East German cameras qualify as FSU.

I ran a roll of color print film through my Zorki 4 in a hurry trying to diagnose an occasional light leak. Good news is, most shots came out OK. A few had a central "hot spot"; perhaps it is from leaving the lens cap off too long before or after taking the photo. But otherwise the camera (and lens) is VERY sharp and I'm ready to load some B&W and take some careful pics with it.

Zorki 4, Jupiter-12, Kodak color film:

Here's one, and it even features the color red! Taken in October.

Taken with my (un)reliable Kiev 88, Arsat 80/2.8 lens. Lomography 100 film, home-developed with Tetenal.

Some shots from the Praktiflex this morning. There is nothing wrong with the old Tessar.

Looking good, Mike. I'm glad you're including more people in your photos. I was beginning to think you were the only occupant in your town.😀

Another train pic, but this time I converted it to B&W after downloading the CD onto the computer. Seems to fit the gray weather that day (Oct. 1). Zorki 4, Jupiter-12, Kodak color film.

Most days, it seems like I am.
Probably because most people work.🙂

If you grew up in FSU you would know that they don't. 😉

Waiting for my Fed 2 to arrive sometime by the end of next week. It'll be my first FSU body, but will go with my Jupiter 8 well 🙂
