Well, I've just posted a new thread showing off my first rangefinder, but I might as well add my photo the collection of great cameras in this thread.

Apologies for the pics, the only digital camera I currently own is my phone.
The collection:
Contax II (1936 serial number) is my main shooter, followed by the Keiv 4 (a/am?). 1984 serial on the body and Jupiter 8. I tend to shoot the Contax simply becuase the Kiev4 build quality sucks, but shutter timings seem to be bang on. The older Kiev is a 1964 serial number with a '57 Jupiter 8, but shutter times are well off and it's badly in need of a CLA. I shoot with the Jupiter 8s, mainly plus the 85mm and I have the 35mm 2.8 in a package somehwere between the UK and Russia. Also have a CZJ collapsible 50/2 sonnar which came with the Contax.
My main LTM is the Zorki 4, lovely little camera. Came with the black Jupiter 8 and I've since picked up the Jupiter 3, plus Jupiter 11. Keeping an eye for the 85 in LTM but prices are a bit silly right now. Also have the Jupiter 12. The FED 3 is a nice camera to. Came with the Industar 26. I also have a rather ugly green painted FED somewhere witht he Industar-22 lens on it.
Zorki 6 is on order to.
Love the Kiev 60, real tank of a camera with great lenses. Currently have the Arsat 30mm 3.5, 60/3.5, 80/2.8, and the awesome CZJ MC 180/2.8 sonnar. Also an early 300/4 CZJ, however the aperture blades don't work, so need to get it CLAd at somepoint.
And finally
Moskva 5. Not really used it yet.
Cheers
Matt

What the?
Hi guys.
These are my two komrads. The Z4 is my favorite camera so far. It's more fun than my OM-1, or my Argus C-3s. It has the best feel of any camera in my hands. The FED 5 is new to me. The meter works, and I'm running my first roll through it to check the rest out. I've been bitten pretty hard by the FSU RF bug. I've got a green FED 2b on its way right now!
