The best camera is one that still works!
Really nice images Chris ... especially #2
That camera has a hell of a lens! 🙂

Yes, it does. The camera is kinda big and clunky, but you can't beat the glass, and having a folder with a rangefinder and a working film counter is icing on the cake.
Cheers...

One thing that has always impressed me about the Iskra is the rangefinder ... it would have to be one of the best around of that vintage!
I also like that 'Iskra' translated means 'Spark!'
Now don't you go dropping my camera down any waterfulls Chris! 😀

And a good eye behind that viewfinder.
I recognise that swirl at the background in the picture with the "tree". Have some of them too from my Iskra.

I have been thinking of buying one, but I haven't found anyone in the USA that services them. Is there someone that still services them? I like the camera features and look of the lens a lot, but I'm worried about getting a sample that needs help, but can't be serviced.
Are my fears well founded? Should I get one and not worry about it?

It might seem a little expensive but if it works well then it will be a bargain.
