zorki 4 is nice too... or late fed... but zorki 4 is more versatile as a user camera...

Stephan

I think you meant that 4K is more versatile? Yes I do agree that 4K is that with it's lever wind but 4 has a lot of more shutter speeds! .

I'll go for more shutter speed...

Back when we entered the new Millennium, the Ohio Camera Collectors Society came up with a wonderful idea, A Millennium Anniversary Kodak Box Camera. They had a few members create the artwork for the faceplate of a Kodak Target Brownie 616 box camera as well as design an actual box to place the camera in. The Society contacted Eastman Kodak in Rochester, New York for permission to use a vintage EKC Logo on the faceplate. There were 100 cameras to be offered, first to members of their Society, then other collectors societies. Each camera was numbered twice, once engraved on the faceplate next a black and silver label with the serial number as well as the owners name. They also created a new handstrap with the OCCS logo on it, and printed a new Instruction Manuel.

Whoever wanted one of these beauties had to send the society a Kodak Target Brownie 616 box camera and $30. That's right, pretty inexpensive !! All they wanted to do was recoup their expenses, not profiteer. Once a camera was received there was a few seperate groups to take care of the proccess. One group removed the old faceplate and re- placed the new plate. Another group replaced the handstraps. Another group would pack the cameras in their new box. I'm sure if you Google Kodak Millennium Box Camera, or OCCS Millennium Brownie Project you will be able to see the camera and read the story. I own camera #98. Eastman Kodak has camera #100.

We can all donate our own camera once the model is agreed upon.

I like Zorki-4 also.

I'd like someone to mod a Fed -2 to a Nanjing 58-1, or a Changjiang for me.:-)
