Now, we're talking! I started off with a Smena 35, then discovered
soviet-era LOMO LC-As. Bought a Kiev 35 (minox 35 clone) and loved it. A
FED 50 came next, a Zenit EM, more Smenas, and I have a FED 2 with a
roll of film sitting in it right now.

A fond memory of the early 2000s was waiting impatiently for the postal
carrier, waiting to see that brown paper-wrapped package, tied with yak
string - the hallmark of any Russian camera order...
