Last year, a local association of artists made a performance of the famous Venice Carnival in Como, a town situated at the north of Italy near the Swiss border. A great work of art and culture, a great opportunity to photograph with my Zorki 5 and its unique retracting lens Industar 22!

In the heart of a restless city lies an old mall with stores of antique furniture, secondhand guitars, and smuggled goods from Japan. I didn't know that this is where I will find my secondhand love affair, my Minolta Hi-Matic 7s.

On my last article about the poor man's Leica, the FED 5B, I wrote about the physical aspects of the camera, including the shutter speed, weight of the camera, the lens and the precaution. One other things special about this old Russian camera is about its lens mount!

One thing that really makes this heavy, bulky, not very elegant rangefinder camera something really special, is….well actually, I don't know!

Lynx is like a girl next door with great personality who's on a little chubby side. But why do I often dream of Yashica. Could it be the Radioactive lens giving me brain damage? Could it be the nostalgic feeling of 1960's Japan and Astro Boy?

This sturdy west German camera is a must have for anyone's vintage camera collection. Around 50 years old and still taking great photos! It shoots 35mm film with style.
