the ol" ghosts...
My Cameras: 1952 Zorki.1c * 1954 Zorki.1d * 1952 Zorki.3 * 1956 Zorki.3M * 1956 Zorki.4 * 1959 Zorki.5. Okay, not "ghosts" really. Just some old Soviet made shooters, rather well traveled after being built at the KMZ plant in Krasnogorsk Russia, near Moscow. They are great fun and still capable of producing much better photos than my artistic talents could ever fully explore. And they’re also in good company with two of their German forerunners and archetypes, "the Cowboys" - my two Barnacks. One is a 1934 Leica.III and the other a 1930 Leica.I that was factory "upgraded" sometime along the way to a Leica.III. Aesthetically, both of these could be described as "beaters" at best, but are still in great condition for fun photography. This is a watering hole of sorts, a place to rest in the shade and share whatever photos all these wonderful old machines create and the inspiration they may arouse.

my first thought was: "oh, my. i'd frame this."
and then i scrolled down.
"side by side", i decided.
and then i scrolled down again.
a triptych!
these are glorious, individually and together....
Okay, lynn, you're starting to read my mind. I've been mulling over how to frame these... one frame/three frames/one pic/three pics/what? ha!! Thanks again!
Reagan, I love the pale, pastel colors of these photos. I think I will have to get an I22 lens to try also
Thanks Rick ~ I've really come to like the Industar.22. I have a couple (and another on the way) so I keep one on a Zorki.1 most of the time... well, all the time. This particular lens seems to have just an ever so slightly softer look to it.
Hey, I just bought one off of RFF. My lucky day. Now if I could find a 3M
BTW what film did you use?
Film? The cheapest I can find... Ha!! Whatever is on clearance. I think this was Fuji Superia ISO.400. Hey, hope you find a 3M. It's a great one. I have one that's a '56 model purchased from Oleg... very smooth.

Thanks, I will probably hold out till I can get one from an RFF'r. I just prefer it that way. I am working on an M2 right now to go qwith the M4-2
duh, just realized what "Rick" I was chatting with here. Yeah, M2 or 3M... tough choice - ha!! Good luck!
