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.

cheers!
I recently got a zorki 1c from a friends father, but the shutter is gummed from disuse.
I wish i had the brains to get an orion when they cost 100$
Hey Michael, thanks for stopping by. Yeah, I can remember just sweating bullets when I ordered the Orion. :-/ (("Did I really just spend that much on a Russian lens?")) But now, years later, no regrets. It & the Jupiter.12 have been my main go-to lenses. ~~ You've got some really great shots on your blog. Keep on keepin' on!
thank you very much!
I had a j12, it is a great lens. I remember when they cost 30$ a piece.
fine blog, sir; much enjoy the scripture associated with the pics.
where did you make your tornado photos?

Thanks for checkin' out the blog, Paul. tornado - I'm a Chaplain w/ Billy Graham Rapid Response Team and spent about 9 days in Joplin, MO right after their recent tornado. A heartbreaking experience, but met some truly amazing folks. Go back far enough in my blog and you'll see a shot or two of a Mena, AR tornado and Biloxi, MS after Katrina. I always throw an old Zorki or Leica in my bag to play with in down time.
Excellent shots. Recently acquired an orion but waiting for delivery.
The J12 and the Orion probably the bargain wides in 2019
