If I add up the age of these three cameras, they will celebrate 167 years this year. However, they take pictures as well as if they were made yesterday. Yesterday I did mainintenance one of them(4K) and for the first time in my life I was disassembly a rangefinder camera. I was expecting some super-complex mechanical apparatus. No way. The laws of physics, mechanics and optics allow a completely simple construction and a virtually unbreakable camera. If you don’t want to let him cross the tank … At the same time, these Russian Zorkij devices are not expensive at the bazaars. If you are not an avid collector of old Leica instruments, these Russian copies will do a great job with an undamaged lens. I always feel sorry for the old devices that lie unnecessarily on the shelves. They take photos really well.

It would be fun to learn to take photos with film. I can remember many years ago using the disposable ones a time or two. Not quite the same. 😉

I love looking at old cameras in museums or antique stores, you have a very fine collection! You will laugh, I still have my first real-to-me camera, a Ricoh 35mm, although it does not work. Do you have your own dark room for processing? I think you must, am I right? My brother-in-law had one and I wanted to get into learning with him, but he gave it up just as quick because of money and family obligations, had to sell most all his equipment.

At home, it’s like a museum 😁 I have a darkroom from 10-11 years. So long. First I locked myself in the bathroom and then I always had a separate room. Now I only make photos in black and white. I’m already lazy. Color negatives, if I want color photos, I usually just scan. The chemical process is very easy and you only need a enlarger, glass plate and bowls.I don’t even use a timer … I still count out loud like I did when I was little😁😘
