<p>Nice shots, Larry. That color is off the hook!<br>

Just an observation: I see more graveyards in this forum than anywhere else.</p>

<p>WOW! I esp. like the "Nannie 1" - excellent bokeh. BTW, I've got 10 rolls of expired Vericolor lll (exp.2000) freezer-kept - but its really gone bad (extreme Blue color shift)....</p>

<p>Well done Larry. I have always found Soviet/Russian lenses to be very good color performers. I had a Kiev 60 with 80mm Arsat and 30mm Zodiak fisheye. Gorgeous optics. JD, you're right about resurrections on this forum. At least we're not "digital zombies"!</p>

<p>Thanks people I try and the blue shift in your Vericolor III can be fixed in post processing I bet go and shoot it.</p>

[jdrose]

<p>For sure. That's one of the things I really enjoy about this forum; people buying, fixing and using old cameras that haven't been used in decades.</p>

<p>Well in the last week I went out and shot with a Fed-3b the Kiev 6c/s and today a Kiev 88. I figure I have all these great old cameras I may as well use them. I recently moved so I am going through boxes and I discovered I also have a huge collection o screw mount lenses I need to use.<br>

Thanks for making me feel welcomed here I spend most of my time at Pnet in the B&W Film and darkroom Forum and the Alt camera forum but I will stop by here more often.</p>
