nice tips all around, thanks so far
the point of being a glasses user is interesting indeed. I had heard about some dim finders but kind of forgotten about it.
the zorki sounds better and better. the reasons I might have prefered a kiev before is the contax roots (once a contax boy, always a contax boy
) and I was hoping that the wider rangefinder base would help in pinpoint focusing. all that and cheaper lenses ofcourse
(nothing like that zorki-75 OMG RARE!!!1 lol 9_9)
I'm pretty used to the way most of these boys advance I think. I've got an old kodak retina I (something like the type 148 model) that I've used a fair bit and gotten used to the round knobs.
used over minty is an excellent tip! I'll probably go with some ebay equaliant but that oleg seems to have good prices for cameras that, I suppose are more or less, thoroughly checked.
I've looked at the feds and they're no lookers in my eyes. I admit to liking cameras that I think look good in some way or another. either robust, technical, ugly (like the zorki 11! haha), steampunkish even
but the fed just looks boring in my eyes.
the tips on lenses are interesting. I'd probably want one normal and one wide, portrait if I really get into it I guess
