Written by Richard Smith

Timing off again. International Commie Camera Day was eeerrrmmmm yesterday.

This is a day where you go and take your old or new camera built in ye olde Soviet Union and take some photos.

More details here http://www.holgablog.com/2009/04/30/win-a-zenit-e-slr-or-belomo-vilia-auto-camera/ and http://www.flickr.com/groups/1060189@N22/discuss/72157617504915316/

I was hoping to post an article on a digital back solution for an old Zenit SLR with comparisons of the Film vs Digital back but the Zenit's film roll isn't yet complete let alone developed and scanned. So that article will hopefully be appearing in the future.

Zenit EM SLR with Helios 44-2 (Originally shipped with a Helios 44M but the 44-2 proved sharper, probably a duff 44M). Camera was using film back when I took a photo of it. Photo taken using a Nikon D700 with a Sigma 12-24 lens @ F/16.
