the Grunge Factor

Seele, that might be a business we could start up.

"Send us your Contax or Leica and we'll give it that 'Retro-distressed' look and return it to you promptly... in 20 years."

Some antique items do have a charm of time like this old Chinese watch. You have to wear it for 50 years to look like this. So be careful when you rub a 50 years old Soviet camera! 😛

Cheers,

Zhang

Well my 3M turned up today and thankfully its not as grungy as its pictures implied it would be 🙂

Good for you Screwy - congrats! Maybe it'll get some love now. When I got my Zorki 4, I pulled it out and it was MUCH Grungier than I remembered from the photos. But once cleaned off, hardly had a scratch on it... beautiful!!

Enjoy the 3M!!

Does anyone know if (and I quote 😛 😛 😛 ) one could buy a serviceable "natural man-fat glow" replacement? Is this grunge for sale, and does the container come with an applicator? 🙄
