Hi all.. Am looking to start doing some RF shooting. Can't resist the beautiful images produced from some of the most beautiful cameras. As Leica is out of the question (for now at least.. ask me again in a year ), I'm looking to buy one of those cheap Russian Leica copies to start off, just in case I end up hating it.
Here's what I have in mind: Either a FED 5 or Zorki 4 with Jupiter 8 lens (what I've sort of gathered from other forums), or a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex with Tessar 50mm 2.8 lens.
I'm very much into street photography, people etc..
Recommendations/tips/input are very much welcome.
Please be gentle, I am but a noob :angel:
Looking forward to freeing my 45kg frame from the shoulder/wrist cramps caused by my D90 18-200mm weight load (I know! It's not much, but it still hurts after prolonged usage, even with a padded strap). Thanks in advance!
