>>4287765Too bad it's rare and expensive, and at that point I'd rather get the Leningrad, or for normal shooting, Canon P. Still, this is the only good looking Zorki. They really fucked it up with 3S.
>>4287451I have one on the way, impulse purchase. Seems not scratched, but also not the earliest model. Curious how it will stack up against Canon 50 1.8 LTM.
>>4287598This, just get a Praktica if you want a Soviet bloc M42 camera, or embrace Kiev 19 for F mount. Zenits with their APS-C sized mirror (viewfinder that shows 65% or so of the full image...) and very limited shutter speeds are only good for an ashtray.
Soviet glass in my experience ain't great either. Helios 44 is ok in the center but corners never get good, Jupiter-8 I sold immediately, unusable wide open, Jupiter-9 was soap town so I guess good for dreamy portraits? Jupiter-11A was actually good though, and so was Tair-3S, but making telephoto lenses is far easier. Hopefully the 3 will be fine...
