                      |  Hi all, just looked at OK Vintage Cameras https://www.okvintagecamera.com/ and I see Oleg has closed the shop and is leaving Russia. A great shame as he was a good source of parts and repairs. |

                      |  I think he can open a store in another country because he is a reliable supplier of parts. Of course, it will be difficult to set up supplies, but I'm sure he can do it. I don't work as a photographer, but I like taking pictures. I use the Panasonic Lumix G7 because it's a great camera for beginners and experienced photographers. When I decided to buy a new lens for macro photography, I had a hard time because there were so many different models on the market. But the information I read here, https://lensespro.org/best-lenses-for-panasonic-lumix-g7/, helped me decide. I bought a great lens at a reasonable price. |

                       Ural Motorcycles moved to Petropavlovsk Kazakhstan this summer to be able to continue production, so this happens now, and smaller companies can make it easier.

                      |  Even though I've never used his services or bought a camera from him, I too hope he can start again. He has a good reputation on "Rangefinder Forum", and there's any news there, I'll try and remember to post it here, if the news hasn't reached this site first. |

                       Well there are good news: Oleg posted this on his facebook:
  Hello friends!  Christmas holiday are coming and I want to bring you a good news. I resume my camera selling and camera repair service from EU. It was a not simple year for me and my family. After war in Ukraine was started we are judged a future of Russia and made a decision to leave our country. And we did it. Now we are in Bratislava, Slovakia. I hope it was a well-becoming decision, especially for my 15-yo son Ilia.  So, I do not want to write many words. All is done. I open my site again!  My new location is very convenient for my EU customers. No more customs problems for European people.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! http://www.okvintagecamera.com/
