Hi my name is John and I live in western Massachusetts. I`m retired and collect interesting cameras. I also enjoy using most of them . My collection is mainly Kodak Retinas and a few other fixed lens RF`s. Like other collectors I have regretted some purchases and have changed my interests and buying preferences
Being kinda new to the world of FSU cameras I do enjoy using them, discussing them , and learning more about them. Hopefully I can learn more about them and eventually contribute something to others.
Thank you.

Welcome!
Bit OT: My fathers first real camera was Retina Ib which he bought from Germany in mid-50ies. When I began shooting I was allowed to loan it (early 70ies) before I bough my 1st SLR (Zenit-EM). Now the Retina with Kodalux is in my vitrine...

Hi and welcome John! Good to see you here!I guess selling off some excess cameras on eBay does pay off in terms of getting new members [:)] John bought my Zorki 2C I was selling on eBay since I've replaced it with a Festival version. [:)]

Thank you all for the nice reception. It`s nice to be a part of the Soviet Photo Equipment Group.
