Hi Boris and all,

LOL! Now we should check if that May 24th is from Julian or Gregorian
calendar... never mind.
>(and besides, I wouldnt trust a russian camera
>for anything important, such as taking pictures...:)
It's been a long time since I wrote my previous post on this thread, and I
was going to reply that, IME, _simple_ Russian cameras (say a Zorki, FED, an
early Zenit-3M) are quite reliable. But more sophisticated gear (Salyut,
Almaz-103, Kiev-6S) may break just by looking at it -- I speak from
experience :-(
The Zorki-4 behaved great on that day, but some pics (those wide open) came
severely back-focused... after some checking, the culprit is the RF coupling
of the Jupiter-3 lens -- NOT the body's adjustment. I used it before on
digital and everything was great, no RF was used there... I wouldn't like to
adjust a body permanently and exclusively for it, so I'd rather adjust the
lens. I've found info about that, it's not trivial nor a quick fix, but
still feasible.

create the Bulgarian alphabet.
I see, I see. It seems yet another case when a student creates something,
and the master keeps the fame ;-)
Cheers,
