Anyone shoot 35mm?

Love film - from 35mm to 5x4 - so pick my brains if you want...

Love that pic - is the zorki you have the one with lenin on it? I saw one of those, looked brilliant!

My Zorki is a type 3C from 1967. The ones with Lenin on are probably customised ones as Zorki's are a fairly popular choice for makeovers.

Well guys I spent a long time taking pictures of all sorts of things with my first roll of film, then couldnt work out how to wind it so pulled it out in anger film ruined.

If there's one bit of advise I can give anyone using old film cameras, work out how to get the film out before you start (a bit too late for you unfortunately, have a practice with the ruined film).

The Web is awash with sites that provide full information and operating instructions on Soviet era cameras. You could try the following for starters -

The following site is very good for people interested in the Fed 1 and Zorki 1 clones of the original Leica 1 camera and the Soviet LTM lenses available. ( These small pocketable cameras can form the basis of a very compact and versatile 35mm kit for little expense.)

Very nice camera.
I had a Zenit-E for awhile, but I sold it on ebay, because I had know idea how to us it

Lil tip, the Kodak Colour Plus you get at Poundland is actually pretty good. I use that with my T90 to keep costs down, it's really not half bad. On a better day, Fuji Superia gives lovely warm tones and Agfa APX is excellent black and white and cheaper than Ilford too.
