A clean looking One, raindog. And a nice photo.

Here's my Kiev II with newly acquired J-3...

Hello all,

Here's another Kiev II - a 1951 model.

All the best,
Jean

Peter and Jean ~ ouch! A tag-team GAS attack!

 

[Jean]

Another one with most of my Kiev stuff 😀
My favorite is in the foreground - an early 4A (from 1959).
I'm not a collector - there's film inside 😉

All the best,
Jean

PS : last time I meet Princelle he said to me he owns an early Kiev (1947 or 1948, I don't remember) with all of the ZK lenses. What a lucky man 🙄
Maybe he 'll post pictures here - who knows....

Lovely cameras you've shared, Jean!
If you should meet Mr. Princelle again, please tell him he's got at least one fan around here!

Ah well, just yer everyday working FED-1.......

The 20-M spends most of its time on a Cosina but has served well on the FED as well. I can't tell you how pleased I am with this lens. It saved the day for me within an hour of receiving it.

Shot with a Kodak (ahem!) C-300 digital - the 21st century Box Brownie

Nice, but it looks like it might block the VF a little?😀
Got any photos from it to share?
I really like how versatile these FSU beasties are!

You just hold it up as normal but look over the top.
If you can see it, it's in the frame ( along with quite a lot else )
If you can't touch it, it's in focus.

This is the end product so it's not too representative as it has been heavily worked on, but the joy is that the mighty Mir can look down two streets at once.

Product goes out as PDF for print to A3, hence white frame. Ah. and the power pole really does lean like thet!

Nick,
It took me a minute to realize what your example was.😎
I use the CV21m quite a lot and love the FOV of that length.
I'll need to find it, but I have a couple of photos of an entire street here at home--only a block long but it's our home town acknowledgment of a semi famous rock star from here.

If you can see it, it's in the frame ( along with quite a lot else )
If you can't touch it, it's in focus.

I'm probably going to steal that expression!
Thanks,
Rob

Aha! Can I take that as a compliment?!

Please do,as that's how I meant it!

This Thread seems to be drifting down the board so here's a bump 😉

Zorki 4, just arrived, and seems to be in good shape except for the missing take up spool...dang! Jupiter-8 on the way.

I'm starting to get more FSU gas. Those Drugs look very nice.

edit: Drugs meaning the drooogs, that is. Had to clarify that for professional reasons. 🙂

Don't forget to try the I-50 that came with it too - it can be a surprisingly good lens.

More great additions! Nice ones, guys! Since there's continually new members and certainly no end to GAS attacks, I wonder if we could get this thread stuck? uhh.. stickyed... stickyfied... stickyated... stickyized. 🙄
