Posted - Aug 17 2007 : 08:51:47 AM Just arrived on the site. I'm sure there are several folks here I know. Birds of a feather tend to flock together.
I started collecting FSU photo gear, primarily rangefinders, in 2001. I enjoy researching the history of the cameras and the friends I have made around the world who share the same hobby.
In the past year I haven't been actively looking for new gear. Most of my recent shooting has been with a DSLR but I still haul out a Zorki or a FED periodically.
I have to say my favorite FSU cameras are the Leica II copies -- The FED 1 and Zorki 1, although I have examples of most models of those two brands plus the odd Kiev.
I'm very glad to see you in this forum, so welcome! I know your site very well and enjoy it a lot. I'm happy the new serious collectors are joining us, so this site seems to have the future...
