And the harder to decide which to use.
And the harder to decide which to use.I know that my views are swimming against the tide on this forum but to me the more cameras you have, the more you have to worry about, protect, insure and keep in serviceable condition, the more "hostages to fate".
+1 on that.Very nice camera and excellent image, Paul - congrats.
+1 on that.
Great to see someone actually taking photographs with their camera too.
Thanks for sharing

It's hard to argue with that. Back when I shot Canon only, my most used camera was an old F-1, and I too used it so much that everything about its operation became instinctive. Interesting thing about that camera is, even though it's been 30 years since I used one on a regular basis, when I pick up one of mine these days, it all comes back to me as if I'd never left.I have in the past had many and diverse cameras make and model, but around thirty years ago decided to rationalize my gear and that I liked the Canon F1( Fin and New F1 ) more than any other camera ( I now have two of each ) and I sold all the rest and have since seen no reason to buy any other camera film or digital because they do everything I need. and I've been using them for so long I can operate them instinctively.

Orange cylinder is the original type of battery used. Looks to be at least partially assembled by hand from a trio of mercury(?) cells very similar to PX625.

Such a deal that battery is: 3.75 volts, 0.25 amps, cost is 1 ruble. Wonder when it was made.
So this camera below is not new to me - I've had it for a few years, but I just started using it today. I have a type 375 battery in it, which is 1.5v instead of the proper 1.35v, but I've adjusted the ISO accordingly and the meter now matches my Sekonic L-308. However, it is easily fooled by the sky, so in such scenarios I switch to manual mode.

Lovely camera with a great lens.
They are somewhat like a Leica to use and very easy to manage in the hand. The viewfinder has a built-in diopter which I like.Toyo, I am curious about the Zorki cameras - a friend has one to sell. What are they like to use? How good is the f3.5 Industrar lens? Thanks!
What do you mean by that?The viewfinder has a built-in diopter.
The viewfinder can be adjusted for eyesight so that glasses aren't needed (if you wear glasses that is)What do you mean by that?
