Camera Talk

For those of you who don't do Flickr, I participated this year in Larry's ICCD (International Commie Camera Day, which has now been extended to the whole month of May) with three cameras, and three films. They are: Zorki-1e, I-22 50/3.5, Ilford Delta 100; FED3, I-61 L/D 55/2.8, Kodak Tri-X 400; and Zorki-6, J-12 35/3.5, Kodak T-Max 100.

Hard to believe Red Oktober starts in a few days, and here I'm just getting finished with ICCD. I'll have to do better next time.

Well done! Those are very good images, proving that you can't keep a good FSU camera down.

I have been watching them on flickr already and they are very nice series, congrats!
Again I have no FSU cameras with me... :O

LoL!!! I gave away a Zorki I had years ago.... never reallygot the hang of it
BUT your pictures are amazing

Very well done, Comrade!

My FSU and DDR cameras do need a little exercise. Thanks for the heads-up!

Thanks, all. I'll have to admit that FSU gear was my gateway into Leica territory. Either I was going to like them or not, and I found a lot to like about the improvements that the Soviet camera industry made to the original design they copied back in the early thirties. Granted, they aren't as robust in build as most Leicas, but they still give you that rangefinder experience found only in a few other pretenders to the throne.
