ZORKI 1 resurrected

it took courage. and i drew it partly from the fact that i could run to jay javier for help. hehehe. and i called him a hundred times for a million questions. anyway, the only problem left is the scratch the baseplate leaves on the negative. hardly noticeable but present on the b&w photo of my favorite subject.



f3.5, 1/20s, hp5plus, processed with D76, 1:1 for 9 mins at 20 degrees centigrade.
zorki 1 with 50 mm fed collapsible. eyes focused at 1 meter.











the two small arching plates are lens mount retainers. and that helped in recalling where they were supposed to be placed. i still had to call jay though to ask how they should be oriented.


joy with the zorki 1 fresh from the work table.
