Yet more gear to add to the ever expanding collection: a Zorki 6 camera with Jupiter 8 lens. The Zorki is a former Soviet Union made camera that is based off the Leica II and III thread mount camera. The Jupiter 8 is a 50mm f/2 lens based off of the Zeiss Planar 50mm f/2. I’m eager to get the camera and lens to see how different the feel of an FSU camera will be.

Also took the M2 to the Patriot II Transatlantic hot air balloon site and then to Aroostook State Park for some photos. That damn trail at the park damn near killed me again. I’m going to hike the whole trail by the end of this summer even if it really does kill me!
