Look what the postman dragged in.
Curtain has seen better days. other than that its fine

The Zorki-3 still is the beauty queen of all FSU M39 rangefinders for me... Not my favourite user, but the most beautiful of the whole lot...

Fed 3 by berangberang, on Flickr

knob wind fed 3. I must admit that though it is smoother operating, more ergonomic, and possibly better made than my Zorki 4 - I still kind of like the Zorki more.

Beauty on the beach

Hi to all FSU addicts.....
Here's my "new" '67 Kiev 4 & '66 Jupiter 8m during 1st test shot on the beach.
Camera seems to work properly and if confrmed by the shots...I'm planning to buy Jupiter 12 & 9...just to satisfy my GAS....

I've a '77 Zorky 4k too (bought @ about that date) but I hate (just a little) the times settings.... I like (instead) very much the diopter correction (I miss it badly on the Kiev :bang Actually she's on test too...

Yes, it was fitting nice in my NKVD collection.

Magnificent beast but well out of my league, my oldest is 8344...

 

[locheeboy]

Aye, there's 3 SLRs there but they're FSU. Ah'll remove if they offend.

Hi,

Keep them there; there's not many SLR's based on the 1930's Leica Model II...

Also it shows why the two types of lens with the 39mm screw thread were made.

Regards, David

 

[locheeboy]

Hi David,

Latest acquisition - Mir ver. 3 from, I'm pretty sure according to serial number, 1960. Camera came with the Industar 50, 50mm f3.5 on the right and I've mounted my new Jupiter 12 LTM 35mm f2.8 lens to the camera. All reportedly underwent complete factory refurb, the camera at Krasnogorsk Mechanical factory, where it also got the black paint job. From the feel of the camera and lenses, I believe it.
