Just a little post to introduce myself. I'm student, I live in Paris France. And I'm fond of analogic cameras, especially cameras from the URSS (but not only). I started my "collection" in Budapest, where I was for a student exchange trip (Erasmus), my firs acquisition was a Zorki-C, I did only a few shot with it because the film is nearly impossible to load so... But I bought a Zorki-4 some weeks later and I'm always shooting with It ! (I love this camera !). I've got a lot of old cameras from the eastern bloc and I love to shoot with them.
Welcome Paul! Happy to see a French more! Here we all have a special addiction to Russian cameras. I don't know exactly why... Probably we are simply mad?
Welcome Paul! There are in fact a lot of French in this forum (I am still trying to figure out why ). Maybe because it's home to wonderful Bievres fair and there are plenty of Soviet cameras for sale there every year. I am hoping to visit there again soon.
Looking forward for your participation! Best regards, Vlad
