Ulrich, beautiful site, amazing shots of cameras and photography! I love the quote you posted from ZenitCameraGroup, if I may I'd like to repost it here:
The Zenit operating cycle goes something like this:
1. For some strange reason you buy a Zenit (it was cheap, it was
given to me, I was paid to take it away etc - we've heard every
excuse...)
2. The camera doesn't work, so you fix it
3. You start actually taking photographs with the camera...
4. Something strange happens to you...
5. Next thing you know, you have a cupboard full of cameras stamped
'made in the USSR', with more in the post...

Vlad, thanks. Here are some more that I want to add, Moskwa, GOMZ, FT-2 and some others are missing.
Yes, I love this text from the Zenit-Group, it is exactly the thing that happened to me :-) I started repairing my Revueflex B after it wasn't used for 20 years, then I bought a Zorki 4, took pictures with it and --- zooooom --- had a cupboard full of all kinds of russian cameras :-D

Richard, thanks that you like the site :-) They are in that condition because I disassemble clean and lubricate nearly all cameras that I get.
Sometimes they look so ugly when they arrive here after they were 20 or 30 years in a cellar or so and I wonder how pretty they can look after the chrome was polished :-)
