My first met with a bottom loading camera was a Leica II or III. I didn't like it much, due inconvenience loading had to cut film strip to right shape. Labor work was pretty crap too on cheap color film it was a disappointment. I never bought again any more bottom loading camera. I bought this Zorki 2C due I would like to have the lens from camera. Okay I take a tour with camera because I was curious. Even bottom loading , loading was easy didn't have to cut film to right shape. Double viewer one with magnifier + RF and one simple viewer is great I like it easy and pleasant to use it.
I found one problem only how can I measure shutter speed I can't put light sensor to camera body to the right place. So I did make many test shoots with different settings to find actual speeds. Usually I reverse back film immediately when rolls is finished. I forgot it and I did open camera at home on room light. I though roll is gone ... thanks for bottom loading and small roll holder most frames did survive my silly action. Overall I like this camera very much ,this is my new favorite one.

Sorry for digging out this old(er) topic , but I have a question :
Attila , how do you compare the viewfinder of the 2C vs the Kiev's one?
I have a bit of nostalgic attachement on this 2C , because it was the camera of my father ( lost now ,unfortunately) .The small size is another plus that I like.I saw a pic somewhere and it surprised me ,it's a bit smaller than the Fed 2 (wich is smaller than a Z 4 , if I remember well)

Size is smaller, viewfinder is nicer than KIEV, RF too due separate magnified window.
