Lubitel 166B: My Solid Soviet Companion
written by xxxanderrr on 2011-09-23 #gearEver since bought, the Lubitel 166B has been a reliable and serious friend and companion.

But it's just everything those cameras are not -- a serious camera for people who like to have full control of their shots.

Chernobyl/Prypiat: A Silent City
written by pinkpix on 2011-11-06 #placesSeptember 2011, Marije (s0y) and I finally took the trip we wanted to do for so long, visit Ukraine, Kiev and in particular, the 30km exclusion zone around Chernobyl, with the ghost town of Prypiat.

A Favorite to Cross-Process: Kodak Ektachrome E100G

Secondhand Love Affair: My Zenit 122
