Old school

Posted by CraHan (Koolkerke, Belgium) on 20 January 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

A few weeks ago I was window shopping on Ebay, looking at rangefinder cameras when I noticed that old Russian Zorki cameras don't really cost all that much these days. I ended up ordering the one above for around 40 euro (shipping included). I haven't had the chance to actually take pictures with it yet.

While I'm looking around for some good xpro film (please leave a comment with your favorite brand/type) I took some snapshots of the camera itself. Not in the lightbox this time but right next to the window. I used a reflector on the other side to bring back some of the details. More pictures of the camera are available here.

The thing doesn't even have a built in lightmeter. I guess I'll have to revert to the sunny 16 rule :)
