>>3075896There are lots of Zenit-taken pics on the internet, they look alright.
Perhaps they were taken by godlike photographers and I'm just sitting here saying "i can do that" having never used a manual camera. But I don't think that's the case.
I'll strongly consider other options, but it's really hard to find something alright that doesn't cost a bunch just to ship here. I'd love to get a Praktica MTL5b, but even just a body is outside of my price range.
I'll most likely go with 12cd in the end, and go up from there if I decide I need more.
