This is my street shooting kit, consisting of some very low-tech FSU Rangefinders.
(left)
1963 FED-3a with Industar-26 50/2.0 and metal vented lens hood
Kopil CDs Meter
Handcrafted Gordy Strap
(right)
1976 KMZ Zorki-4K with Jupiter 8 50/2.0
Leather kit from Aki-Asahi
KMZ Universal Viewfinder
(Lens Center)
Jupiter 12 35/2.0
(Lens Right)
Jupiter 11 135/4.0
This is a relatively low-budget setup that cost me around 300 UK Pounds in total. 100 pounds for the FED-3a and a full CLA from Fedka.com, 160 pounds for the Lenses and Meter. I was lucky with the Zorki-4K as it was gifted to me by an old man who owned and cherished this one from new.
Despite its age and relative crudeness of operation when compared to more modern kit it produces some stunning shots when operated correctly. Buit all you RFF'ers knew that anyway

Here's my Russian iron. Got the FED-2 a few days ago from the Ukraine. Needed some spit and polish, but nice cosmetics and all features ok. Will be loaded with B&W for the week end. Kiev works very well. Had it for 5 years. FED-3 needs shutter curtain to be seen to (light leaks).

Here is my Russian p0rn
bought the Zorky on ebay last christmas, was in very good conditions but needed a cla I had lot of fun doing (and thanks to whoever posted in the 4k cla thread!). It came with the Industar, got the Jupiter too because I hate flash. I'd like to buy a wide lens, but the Orion is so expensive I'm thinking about an Heliar... well, no money for both now, anyway :-(
The Lomo Smena is obviously not an RF but it's beacuse of it I've started to like mechanical cameras.. Bought when I was 13, the shutter wasn't working, so I dismantled it to try to repair, and failed... last summer I've found it and finally made it work, and I'm surprised from it's results! Also, this could be a world record: 16 years to repair a shutter ;-)

I've noticed right now I left the self-timer loaded! That's because my cat refused to pose with me yesterday, after I've composed the shot...
