Фотоэкспонометр

I will definitely nòt be "guessing the light" in Siberia with this beautiful aluminum фотоэкспонометр. 
Early sixties (or late fifties?) and at Цена 1 руб. 35 коп. (About 4 rolls of film, the Ленинград-2 was 6 руб. but that was in the eighties.)
Easy to handle with gloves, too.

Фотокор

 Yes, I am the proud owner of a working ± 1941 Fotokor. And would love to take it to Siberia.  But with only 4 sheet-holders (digitalics: that means only 4 pictures!) it probably isn't the right choice.
 К сожалению!

Линхоф 220

This will definitely be in my рюкзак: the Linhof 220. No fiddling around with tiny knobs: only big handles, and the Rodenstock lens is só good.
I bought mine june 1977, still works fine today.

One decision made, 237 to go.

Вестерфорт

Het begint er nu echt op te lijken hoor: gisteren ( вчера ) de eerste les gehad bij Алсу en dat gaf hoop voor de toekomst! Binnenkort poekelen wij Russisch (мы говорим по-русский).

Logo

An enterprise like ours, of course, needs a logo (and T-shirt) And while very premature, here is my first droodle:

Испытание

Well, not really testing, because I blindly trust my Проявитель, but today we had also two Фед with us, the fifties 2 and the seventies 4 and of course were nòt disappointed: the Fed will go to Siberia, that's for sure!

And I think the little Чаика is also a candidate: half frame, so around 70 pictures (the digitalics have nó idea what the hell I'm talking about) and rather nice quality.

МИР-3

Oooooh - very nice lens, this 65mm Мир-3.
Probably 1974, on my 1972 Revue6.6 (Салют).
The whole combination is 100 gr. lighter than the Hass/Dist combination, but still very weighty, alas... Not for Siberian walks.

On Jan 1990 Orwo NP22; the blue pic is cropped, left is the whole neg.
