Nope. I don't use Google, and I have full ad-blocking system on both PC (Linux) and Android, so I havent't seen any ads for years 😎. Like some others here, I use mostly DDG as a search engine.

Nice, you have the same main reason(s) as me for returning to (and staying with) film cameras. Also, I found that digital photograhy was just... totally dull.

A wonderful find! I think you should be OK with the modern film cartridges, although you might need to modify the film leader like in other bottom loaders.

There are ridiculous lenses and there is THAT

Love that scene

Well, she is a girl. She can't decide.

I gave up, went to the nearest store, bought two cheap 500ml stainless steel cocktail shakers and tried again... Much faster warming-up this time 😁🤣. What kind of vessels do you guys use for warming up the C-41 chems?
comment in response to post
I did hit one unexpected snag, though: the surprising heat-insulating properties of certain plastics... Normal film development 650ml measuring cylinders with ~300ml chems on them on a 39°C bath for TWO hours: chem temperature only 33-34°C. WTF!!!

My respect for Adox chems is constantly growing. I might even go Adox-only some day...

So, using Eastern Block cameras is not pointless?

I don't know (and care) whether this is a better or worse one than others, but it is a fully working rarity 😁

Actually I think Bluesky has gotten lately so lively that it is sometimes difficult to keep up 🤔

"Keyboard not found, press any key to continue"-style classic?

It just looks like a M-series Leica...

It is not the reel (that is removable btw) that pulls the film frame by frame, but the teeth of the sprocket. Is *that* moving steadily without slipping when you turn the advance knob?
comment in response to post
How is the rewind release button at the bottom working? If it, or its mechanism is stuck in, that would explain the slippage.

One of the perks of being single is that you can freely use your bathroom for film development... or anything else you want 😁

I'm conflicted between Aston Martin DB and Lamborghini Miura...

Can't we just say it 'baka' 🤪

Seems that most of the Lomography cameras have multiple exposure feature... but I don't much care about plastic cameras (unless that plastic is Bakelite). And most Nikons and Canons are out of my price range... Oh well...
comment in response to post
That made me thinking... are there actually any 35mm cameras which allow double-exposures without modification? On most rollfilm cameras that is way, way too easy 🤣, but I'd like to try it on 35mm cameras, too.

The smallest one in the picture is exactly that.

I think Zorki 6 may be the best looking Leica-copy ever.

Ouch, I missed that line on camera-wiki <facepalm> I give up 🤣.
