Zorki 4 - New production

[rolleistef]

Haia,
just to share a couple of pictures taken in Crema (Italy, Lombardia) last Easter, a 1963 sample with a matching j8 that still performs perfectly.
The first picture was taken at a friend's iron monger, very impressive place with lots of stuff for wine bottling, archery, bike repairing, gardening...
The second was taken at a violin maker's (a luthier, since he's holding a cello back).
The last two pictures were taken handheld 1/15th f:2. How sharp it still is in spite of the full aperture!
Sorry for the white strips on the second one, I promise I'll get a new scanner as soon as possible (or a DSLR:bang🙂

The workshops of carpenters and instrument makers are always inspiring places. 🙂
