Firemen just stopped heavy smoke, ventilation system brake down in restaurant near the photo-lab, where I usually develop my films.
Unfortunately, at start moment my camera was without film, I stepped in lab, buy film, recharge film in my FED-3(not so easy and quick), by that time firemen have already stopped smoke spread.

#FED3 #Soviet #35mm #FilmIsNotDead
Rollei Reinhold 640 ISO film
I purchased a couple of 35mm rangefinders (a Canonet QL19 and the Soviet made FED3) earlier this year. While making these purchases it became obvious that I was quickly developing a dangerous obsession for vintage cameras, both for their aesthetic qualities as well as my newly discovered interest in shooting film. At the same time, I had been meaning to start some kind of photography project. I was thinking something in the lines of the 365 Project, but the thought of having to take a photograph every day was just too overwhelming and I never took the plunge. So when I stumbled upon Spadge’s awesome project I knew I had found the perfect match.
Her project, A New Camera a Month for a Year, was just as the title describes. She purchased a new 35mm camera (within her price limit) every month and ran a couple of rolls of film through it. I loved her project both in concept and execution. Check it out if you have a chance: spadgeuk.com/2013/04/a-new-camera-a-month-for-a-year/
With her blessing to copy her idea I decided to start as soon as possible. So this is the start to my One Camera per Month for a Year project. The only difference is that my price limit for a camera is higher than hers. This is due to the fact that cameras seem to be more expensive here in the US than in the UK. I don’t know if this is attributed to a shorter supply or a higher demand or a combination of both, but I digress. My limit is $25 per camera. I will shoot a couple of rolls with each camera and pick the best 2-3 pictures from each roll for a total of 4-6 pictures making the final cut each month.
Without further ado I present to you the camera I will be shooting with for the month of May, a Graflex Ciro 35. This is a fully manual, American made rangefinder produced in the 1950s. It came in three variations at f/4.5, f/3.5, and f/2.8. Mine is the f/3.5 model. Shutter speeds go from B to 1/200. Focusing is done through a split-image coupled rangefinder that is on a separate window from the viewfinder. You focus by aligning the image on the small rangefinder window, then switch over to the viewfinder to compose the shot. The shutter is released by clicking on the small lever attached to the right side of the lens.
Mods/Repairs: I received this camera in nice working (and excellent cosmetic) condition except for some mold that had formed inside the lens. I was able to take the lens apart and give it a complete cleaning. I believed after cleaning the lens I had a fully working camera. However, after running a roll of film through it I discovered that the rangefinder is out of alignment. Not terribly, but enough to render most wide open, near distance shots completely out of focus. I will try to fix this before moving on to roll #2, which should be a simple process.
Price paid: $15
