Last year I shot 13 rolls which cost me almost $600 CAD ($430 US) total with development and high res scanning. This year – 2 rolls so far :(

Great photos of the old Soviet wonder! It was created to carry "Buran" (the Soviet space shuttle). I don't think we'll see anything like this from Ukraine or Russia ever again...

Great story and fantastic photos! I absolutely love this one, especially the petal-like canoes and the distorted dude on the left. Very 1970s :)

I had one with a prism and split-image screen. It was relatively easy to focus. I never shot with a rangefinder and can't compare but think it's more difficult if everything in the viewfinder is ...

Mamiya 330 with prism and "blue dot" lenses. Much easier to focus and, maybe, a bit less shaky due to heavier weight.

Beautiful photo, nothing wrong with it. Could be marginally better if shot in DNG but still very good.

Clever indeed. Great photos, 1 and 5 are my favorites!

I meant my beloved Helios :)

Maybe, but sharpness is overrated. I enjoy more soft lenses these days, like you know which one :P

Nasty looking creature! Great shots :)

I recently took some nice pictures too using my Samsung NX30 and "new" antique Canon G10, so they don't belong on this forum. Check my Flickr :)

Hi Peter! Nice photos, especially the piper. Which lens was that?

Thanks. I've just found a good deal on the Canon TS8320 :)

Thank you very much for the detailed answer! Did you have a personal experience with any of these printers?

My artist friend is looking for a photo printer to print reference photos and match colours. It must be compact (max print size – Letter or A4). The artist will print a few pages every 2-3 months, ...

Beautiful portrait and great scan quality!

It depends on how high your value your time and image quality :) Scanning and cleaning up dust is a very long and tedious process, and the results from a cheap flatbed scanner are mediocre at best.

Bokeh is wild, like from some Mamiya lenses but much exaggerated. Probably his Helios was made on a sober day too :)
