peter_naylor1 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 <p>Hi, Ralf I'm almost feeling guilty to admit that our Perth weather has been really nice so far this Spring, in view of the terrible hammering folks in the east of Northern America are getting from 'Sandy'. So far we've not had to turn on our house airconditioning even once, but a couple of times I've conceded to Old Age Temperature Intolerance and turned my RAV4's aircon on, driving home from Perth. Mind you, no doubt our time for potential disaster will come when Mother Nature's more vicious side gets displayed come summer. Last year we were that close to having our house burned down in a bushfire, it just wasn't funny.</p> <p>Meanwhile, FWIW here's a link to a Flickr Pages photo feature I did a while back on my KMZ Start. There must be far more interest in the Start than I had realised,, because this has had well over a thousand 'hits'.

User_4525289 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 <p>Last night when I was typing the response to both JDM and Ralf I have a power out because of Sandy. Power is back now so I am posting it now. There is almost no way to find Start in working conditions.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_naylor1 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 <p>Hi,Kozma Glad to hear you've survived the worse that 'Sandy' couldl throw at you. I must have got lucky too with my Miami Start, because it's working perfectly. I haven't even had it CLA'd. I've read that the early Starts were prone to problems with their shutter blinds, but mine is a later (1962) model so maybe KMZ had sorted things out by then?

User_4525289 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 <p>Apologies for all. Not Start but SPORT could not be found in working conditions. Starts are fine they do exists and perfectly good conditions and there are lots of working cameras around. Sports are not the case. They were made in 1938 and required a special cassettes.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt_saxton Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 <p>One of my all time favourite FSU cameras. Like them so much I have four. One with waist level finder, two M39 adapters and a few M39 FSU lenses.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralf_j. Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 <p>Thanks for commenting Curt. What other M39 lenses are you using? I am only familiar with the MIR-1 and Tair-11 which were made for the Zenit 3M.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
