Red Oktober

[farlymac]

I started a new Group on Flickr called "Red Oktober", a repository of any photo taken with FSU gear in the month of October.

It's now open at https://www.flickr.com/groups/octfsu/

Hi,

It saves having to type "old" in front of "USSR" and adds a little more confusion to life and so on.

It also automatically provides much fodder for discussion almost at the level of digital versus film. Identifying a camera by name doesn't generate near the religious fever. 😀 😀

I have a Helios 44M-7 2.0/58mm and a Mir 24M 2.0/35mm lens on the way and they should check in before October has passed... 😎🙄 I'm game.

Yeah, remember an FSU lens can be mounted on any compatible or adapter equipped camera, film or digital. There are also some Nikon F mount FSU lenses.

The FPP Store claims their Svema film is fresh. I bought 3 rolls of the 200. I've shot one roll. The film is paper thin. i had a time getting it to spool. It developed & scanned good.

The only working FSU camera I have, Greg, is a Zenit TTL with Helios 44-M. Hopefully all this rain and cool temperatures will get the trees started on their color change soon.

Cool idea. I think I'll dust off one of my Zorkis or the KIEV 88 this month 🙂

At the moment all F.S.U. R.F. cams are in use: 2x Zorki-6, FED-3, Kiev-4AM and soon a Kiev-6C (roll film).

Here the trees are already colored in Red. 😉

Films to use: Kodak 5222 Double-X, Foma Retropan 320 Soft, 120 roll film Reala 100 (Fuji) yeaah a last 5 pack! Agfa Optima 400 (expired) and still to go 85 films, Fuji Superia 100. (A lost stock at the Fuji plant in Tilburg). I made myself already a member on Flickr.

Oh I just dusted off the FSU stuff in order to sell the lot.....one of these is the (in)famous Russar (yes with orig viewfinder)....

Anyway last months I started to use medium format more and more and therefore selling most of the 35mm stuff

 

[Fotohuis]

The same type Russar (+) which is sold new at Lomography in messing instead of aluminium and LTM-M adapter?
