Wow!! In some ways it seems a shame that film cameras are dying out. Some of them have amazing engineering inside.

I used to have the same Zorki camera you have. I lost it many years ago and have no idea where it went. Solid was the word to use for it and I don't know if all the lenses were good but the one I had was excellent as far as I can remember.

yeah they made tham out of bits of tank chassis.... thats a lie... they are pretty solid though eh....
lots of lenses out there for them, mines LTM so the list is nigh on endless ... they getting more dear now though with all the short flange back digi cameras you can get adapters for almost any lens and the little ltm's are popular for their size and weight!

That was not dribble Hamish, It was actually beer! Besides, thats was the first time I had ever physically seen an F3, F4 (and every other camera you had!) I agree with Rob, in respect of progress; it is substantially easier and cheaper to be a "good" photographer nowadays, whereas with the like of the old film bodies; they were almost works of art themselves!
As I have mentioned oft times before, the simplistic joy of a single-wind transport mechansim!!
