It was my first roll of 35mm film shot with my recently acquired Zorki 4 vintage camera. I think the images turned out great.
This is the story of a seasoned professional photojournalist with some forty-plus years of work in the news business, who cut his photographic teeth as a high school yearbook and college newspaper photographer with his very first classic Nikon - a silver and black Nikon Photomic F 35mm film camera (Which he still owns, btw).
After years of manual focus and manual exposure photography this pro made the switch into the auto focus digital world in his middle-aged years. Digital has been a friend during these years and will continue for paid work.
As with many shooters, old and young, the love and mystique of film cameras and film photography is coming back into "hipness!"
Enter a 53-year-old visitor from the former USSR in the form of the famous, totally manual and mechanical, Zorki 4 Russian-made 35mm rangefinder camera, the pride of the Motherland at the time.
This new addition to his stable of 35mm cameras was made in 1970, when this newest owner was a sophomore in high school. Call it longing for the “Old Days” of photography or just a “swept off his feet” moment with an attractive Russian body, the Zorki 4 rangefinder has captured his imagination and has begun to refuel the passion for analog picture making once again.
This is a vintage film camera diary, of sorts, as you are welcomed to follow along on this photographic journey documenting the ups and downs traveling with an old Russian!
