• Somebody's Trash is Someone Else's Treasure: Analogue Cameras Retrieved from the Dumpster

  
  Listening to Garbage's album "Not Your Kind of People" and thinking about the meaning of their name (garbage is trash, but the band sounds great) I got myself remembering how many times someone threw away a camera (or any analogue device) believing it was trash at the same time that, for us, it's a treasure! Definitely, they are not our kind of people!

• Zenit E: Cut-Price Cold War Classic

  
  The Zenit E is a 1960s survivor; short on features, but solid and tough in a way only Russian cameras can be. Cheap, cheerful, and made in the millions, it's an often-overlooked camera deserving a re-appraisal. Quantity has a quality of its own, after all.

• Film Canisters for Old Russian Cameras

  
  Being a Lomographer is not that easy, especially when nature doesn't support you. The 7th rule of lomography is "Be fast”. Well, using a russian RF is kind of hard to shoot whatever, whenever, when you have no exposures left on film. So you have to change it, but it takes a while.

• Lubitel 166B: My Solid Soviet Companion

  
  Ever since bought, the Lubitel 166B has been a reliable and serious friend and companion. I consider it the Anti-Holga, or even the Anti-Diana -- not in a bad way of course. But it's just everything those cameras are not -- a serious camera for people who like to have full control of their shots.

• Fix Your Fed for Pfennigs!

  
  I was ecstatic to find an old Fed 3 going cheap in a thrift store. Some real Soviet-era heavy metal for my collection of cameras. It looked great. Nice clear lens, shiny chrome bits, and everything seemed to move as it should. So I bought it and took it home.
