Yesterday I took my 53 year old Zorki-2C with the Jupiter-8 2/50 lens out to take some pictures in the innercity of Utrecht. Film used was a cheap 400 Iso-film of the Hema warehouse.

Cleaning the canal

2. f11, 1/500s


3. f11, 1/500s


Through the steps

Underneath the bridge
5. f16, 1/250s

Interesting and I assume the muck gets dumped into the container at the back erm wait it could be a toilet Laughing
I'm lucky to have a canal and gravel lakes near where I live

Zorki and Jupiter did work well, at this time I am great fun of Russian rangefinders too. Is this camera is bottom loaded like Leica II ?

Yes it is and it is quit a fiddly job to load the film. Best is to stick a thin plastic card between the cameraback and the curtainshutter an then slice up the film between the card and the back of the camera until it is in the right position (otherwise you'll risk to damage the perforation of the film).

Thank you ! I did give up these older guys, one times I couldn't get out film well from my Leica IIIa and I was so upset and I did sold it. Now I am happy perfectly with Kiev-4 and Fed-2.
