Zorki 10 Arrived!

[elmer3.5]

Today i got finally my Zorki 10, beautiful and heavy camera (box included)

It seems to work, at least the selenium cell needle does move against a light source.

The only current iso value is 100, so i`ll fetch some colour 100 asa film and tomorrow i`ll practice.
Perhaps i`ll get some tastes of the Unidad Popular!

Bye!

I love the Zorki 10, I will probably get one too sooner or later. Post pics, both of the camera and by it. 🙂

Well done! You can safely shoot ISO 400 film with a 320 rating - not even the film designer would notice. Post some shots please!

Grazie ludoo!

Good advice 400 asa!

Today it´s raining upside down, no shooting, just swimming!

Bye!

Hi, at last i got some shots with the Zorki!

First the good news, 400 iso is the perfect match, i think exposure is ok

No bad news but amusing ones

Hold the camera tightly, because it´s shutter release button moves too much, as actuated, i`ll get used to it.

Lost about 20 photos, film got lose, but after some cla i think it`s ok.

The camera acts by it`s own, you never know what`s going on with sputnik`s sensors.

Imagine, a moved subject! at broad day light with 400 iso!!!!!

Poor dof, tends to bokeh!

The way to use it is very comfortable for such heavy camera, heavier than m6 classic with nokton 40.

Beautiful piece of equipment, well done, stylish as none!

Bye

Well done! Some program exposure mechanisms tend to choose the highest speed available, probably something like 1/250 in f4 for your first shot. Broad day light is just an expression in a Santiago cloudy winter day, isn't it?

The second one surprises me, that man must have been running like Usain Bolt!

I bet you'll get used to that Sputnik look and feel, and you won't ever want to touch your M6 again. 😀

Is it too cumbersome to handle? I'm looking closely at a Zorki 10 being offered here at a reasonable price.
