I have always loved film cameras, and over the past two years I have obtained several film cameras, most of them the Lomo brand, so not the old authentic film cameras, but none the less, still film cameras with the lovely film finish.
While travelling through Russia last year though I stumbled across a large flea market in Moscow and found an amazing stand selling old soviet cameras, and I saw many cameras that had been remade into 'LOMO' branded cameras like the LC-A and Lubitel, as well as loads of other brands I had never heard of. Unfortunately I was backpacking and loading up my pack with heavy cameras was just not an option, so I took notes of the ones I liked and knew that the internet would help me find them, and finally I got my hands on some!
Welcome to my camera family, the Fed 3 and Fed 4. Complete manual cameras from USSR, built like Russian tanks and personally I think they are stunning cameras! Both are in great condition and I can not wait to give them a whirl! Although I think it will take a while to get used to them.
Here are a few snaps of the new cameras in all their glory!
