No Feds yet and the only Zenith was sold.

I'm gonna to have to revise my list here,

I've shot with Drug last weekend, first time using this camera, that thing definitely goes on top of my list. Amazingly sharp images!

Also finally tried out Kiev 6S (or C) with 220 film, very nice camera as well!
