<font face="Arial">Hi,
I'm Bob Drew and have contracted the Russian bug. Since January I have acquired the following:
1. Lubitel 166b
2. Fed 5
3. Fed 5c
4. Kiev 4m
5. Zorki 4
I have always loved photography and have fallen in love with these wonderful cameras. I live in Kennedale,Texas and try to shoot 3 or four rolls of film a month. I am trying to free myself of the digital blues.
</font id="Arial">
Regards to all,
Bob Drew

Knew a Bob Drew who was the General Manager of the Madison Muskies, the AAA team of the Oakland A's. This goes back to the mid to late 80's. His forte was Golf. I think he was in the process of creating his own custom clubs.
I can't imagine you would be the same fella.
But then again.............
In any event, Welcome to the group, Bob !!

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. I started this little journey because I like to work on anything thing mechanical and the FSU cameras have such great documentation on the web. I just finished my first cla of an Industar 50 lens and had quite a good time with that. I will try to post some photos in the near future.
Regards to all,
Bob
