Show Off Your FSU

My 1956 Kiev and 1963 Zorki 4. The first one was bought nearly new in 2006 (I think its great shape was due to internal misfunction), the second was brought from CCCP in the 60s by my great-grand father, used by my father's family for decades, from which I eventually inherited the camera. Great functioning, really quiet and steady even at slow speed (1/15 is no trouble at all).

My working soviet collection - 2 Fed 3s with Industar-61s together with a Zenith SLR + 58/2 Helios 44 & 85/2 Jupter 9.
Rounded off with a Leningrad 4 lightmeter - essential given that they are all unmetered bodies.

My Fed5 with the top of it's case cut off. I gotta admit, i like this camera. The meter even works.

My first one

My first one

What can I say?
I'm new to this addiction....
This is my new MIR, haven't shoot a single frame with it yet. I hope to change this very soon (It seems to be working fine, but only the true test can tell).

Yeah, I hear you.

Speaking of addiction, is that what "A" is in GAS ??

I can't guess what GAS means.

Could it be:

G (something) Addiction Syndrome ?
Gear Acquasition Syndrome,Maybe spelled wrong,but we've all got it......Robin

The Kremlin Tower. Beautifully ugly. The most Soviet looking of all Soviet cameras. No L*ica copy, this. Smooth and precise. Meter is spot on. 1964 built.
