the dark knight - a photo on Flickriver

the dark knight

            another today in honor of Red Oktober... This is my "daily carry" of my handful of former Soviet Union cameras. This is the Kiev-4a with Helios-103 and frankly, I adore this camera and lens. I have never owned a Contax but this (the second of my two Kievs) makes me wish I did. There is a lovely precision to these Ukranian cameras that seem missing from this camera's contempories. Add to that, the Helios-103, which is a 53mm f/1.8 Arsenal-built lens with alleged Sonar heritage (I find it far superior to the earlier Jupiter models) is truly one my favorite lenses of thee many I have and have had. It is brilliant bargain glass without a bout. Plus, this combination is just plain dead-sexy.
Cheers.
