Collecting Russian and Soviet cameras (mostly USSR domestic market versions only) since May 2006. Currently a bit more than 400 cameras in my collection.

3. Taking picture of a Soviet army display at military museum with my Fotokor

My collection currently contains about 310 Soviet/Russian photo and movie cameras and large part of it is showcased regularly at Chicago Annual Camera and Image Show organized by Chicago Photographic Collectors Society.
