I shot the first pictures with my "new" FED-3.

Of course, I had to take a photo of it as well:
(Got the idea at the rangefinderforum: "camera & coffee".)


Shot with EOS350D & Pentax SMC 1.7/50. A very nice lens, I almost forgot.
(ISO800, f1.7, 1/80s: I guess that's what we call available light...)
Now that I have an PK-EOS-adapter I can use this great lens and my Pentax SMC 2.8/28 again. Very Happy

I like the shot, whether the lens is in focus or not! Wink Hope to see
some of your efforts, soon! Smile I'm still waiting for a Zorki 4 I won on
ebay, might be a terminally nonreceived item Sad

Don't give up. I also had to wait for more than 3 weeks to get the cam from the Ukraine, together with a Jupiter-37A btw.

Carsten, the item has been in dispute for a week and today I find he's
no longer a registered member of ebay. So that's that.... Mad

I'm sorry, Bill! This is bad news!

On ebay there are two ways: either you collect items or experiences.
The world, unfortunately, is not the nice place we want it to be.

I hope you can find some comfort in the equipment you have.

No problem, Carsten, it was only $41USD. Just a little annoying is all,
and I still have lots of things to experiment with, enjoy! Smile
