With the financial situation pretty grim , my thoughts turn to cameras which have no real value .
Those not worth selling .
Maybe a beaten up Zorki or Fed , an old SLR , even my '' Leica Like Fed 1 '' seriously overpainted and touched up to nickelise it [ dee'liberate vandalism ? ]but properly Oleged and sweet to use .
I am not talking of that dee'sposable camera in the glove box , but a ''worthless '' camera which you treasure .
But the camera you save because you like it .

Hopefully my reworked Kiev IIIa Enigma would fit that bill !

I have a Zorki-3C that works really well... if you can see the RF patch... or if the Jupiter 8 wasn't frozen at infinity... I love the camera but I can't use it. And after much debate, I won't get rid of it.

I never use my Canon IID or my Leotax F or my Tower but if I sold them what would I put in the cupboard to take their place? photographic dilemma
