I'm utterly new here. I've never shot film before, and I'm interested in the old Soviet Rangefinders, as they are fascinating as well as being in my limited budget. However, I am extremely left-handed. I have Cerebral Palsy and the right hand is an utter free agent, doing whatever it wants whenever it wants to. When I go out I get from point A to B with the help of Earlene, my trusty hot-pink electric wheelchair, so my situation is less than ideal for giant tripod use. Stupid question: can you flip a Zorki ( Fed, Kev, etc...) upside down and shoot that way? Does anyone have any favorites that are also affordable (under $100 USA)? Thanks for reading. Hope to be deluged by your combined wisdom soon.
