In the mid nineties lot of Russian and Polish people came by bus on the weekend to the two big flee markets on Saturday and Sunday in Bremen. A lot of Lubitels came with them. Bought two of this plastic, weight like nothing middle format cameras and made images for fun because they cost only around ten Deutsche Mark each. Not really sharp, plastic lenses with some mistakes but made interesting images. Maybe there is still one somewhere in the packing cases in my cellar.Good thread -
First camera I used - My dad's Praktica MTLR 3 - East German SLR - I can still hear the sound of the mirror - clunk - it was like a draw-bridge going up and down.
First camera I bought myself - Lubitel 2 - Soviet era 6x6. Super basic but my 12 year-old self loved it.
First cameras used professionally - Olympus OM single digit series. I put hundreds of rolls of film through them. They always worked, the lenses were superb. The metering system in the OM3ti and OM4ti versions is probably the best I have used in any camera I have owned. I still have them all - I couldn't bear to part with them.
cheers - I.
My friend in Bremen had the same. Don´t know if she still own it today. That little camera made fantastic sharp images.Olympus XA2
loaned to friend many years ago who managed to lose it somewhere in the Falkland Islands, well that her story and she was sticking to it.
The first camera I owned was bought by myself circa 1 year ago - a Pentax K-S2, in white. It's a lovely camera with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome?) and a pentaprism viewfinder. 18-50mm waterproof stock lens to go with the waterproof camera makes a good coupling. I'm hankering for a prime lens now, however, before my holiday in Belgium in August!

Lovely Rollei B 35. I owned a Rollei 35 S, too. Used mine with a Voigtländer rangefinder.

I think all Rollei 35 models were one of the most beautiful analog cameras ever build.
Good choices.One of my first, before I moved on to Pentax Spotmatic, Rolleiflex and Nikon F series camerasView attachment 26485 .
