What have I done?

[MrRanger]

Was on #-bay, saw it, had to have it! I don't believe I did it, BUT I bought it
Damn these Russian RFs!

Hey, that's a beauty. Looks pretty clean. And a good choice. The first time I pulled an FSU out of the box, cranked it once an fired the shutter, I swear I heard a little voice... "Gotcha!" I knew I was hooked.

Oh Nuts! I thought I'd just get this one...just this one...no more...just this one...

Nah! Who I'm I trying to kid!?

Yes, yes. One does occasionally hear this cry from an FSU junkie pinned beneath his collapsed willpower.

 

[MrRanger]

So what you guys are saying is - it's all over except the shelling out of money to various points in the FSU for "just one more" Russian RF?

(Does this make me a "junkie"?)

not to mention lenses.. Jupiter will become a permanent part of your daily speech

.. Jupiter will become a permanent part of your daily speech

Yeah...Jupiter, that's probably where my wife will want to send me!

"Not another camera! You can only use one at a time.....why do you need ANOTHER one?"

(I love you sweetheart!) :angel:

Welcome to the FED 3 confederation comrade! You will now long for Jupiter 12, Jupiter 8 and at least a Industar I-22 collapsible. Oh, and a Jupiter 9 with and a viewifnder.

you will have feverish dreams about modifying and repainting at least one FED (FED 3s tend to go for less so get a painter ).

after 6 months or so you will slow... after the wife has clobbered you with one of your FSU cameras.

 

[titrisol]

Quick! call the priest....
an exorcism is needed
LOL LOL

 

[MrRanger]

Oh yes, I've been to the Fzorki web site and seen some of the work that he's done to his Fed's and Zorki's. (slobber)

... after the wife has clobbered you with one of your FSU cameras.

Bit of advice. Be sure to keep one of the "lugless" models at the forefront where it can be easily grabbed by the wifey-gone-FSU-bisurk." Models without straps can only be thrown once, while those WITH straps can be swung round for repeated blows.

((Those Soviets knew their women!))

 

[Fedzilla_Bob]

That explains the lugless FED models

I knew there was a reason I removed the straps from all my RFs!
