Zorki and Orion goes to Toronto.

Looking good and well equipped!

I also have J-12 today, on second FED-2. Which I purchased as broken and for parts. But it came with nothing missing. So, I fixed the shutter, cleaned it all and it is easy to find subject at this stage now. I have it loaded with crappy film and taking sky exposures to determine both springs tension. Doing it in the morning before going into the office. Also checking if ebay hood is not vignetting on J-12 as well. :)

Time and subject takes time. This is why I always have camera with me. Takes sometimes more than month to get one roll done. So, I'm loading it less than 24 frames. :)
 
I have a Zorki-zorki fitted with a J-8 on it's way that I can't wait to show you guys.
Alex, the camera seller & tech in Ukraine was making fun of Americans (me) for selling a Leica and buying a Zorki.
 
My Zorki-zorki and Industar-50/22.

The Orion is on a Nicca-3f now. I like the 1/10s speed and T speed on it. It is also quieter than the Zorki.

I have to say, even Leica IIIc,d (and their copies) are only slight larger in all dimensions than Leica II, the feelings in hand are quite different. Leica II and their copies have this magical dimensions to feel compact/SMALL when held in hand, which is lost in IIIc,d.
 
Great work, I do really like the "dylan/cohen" shot in the first series because of hie expression and pose and N° 2 and 3 of the second set because of the light.Bravo!
