"Commiecam" is a not quite comic referral to the fact that I own and use great deal of Russian/Ukrainian and former East Bloc photo equipment. Curiously, their gear is almost all simple, solid, well thought out, and tough. Also, they made some of the best optics I've ever used. After the FSU fell apart, I was able to luxuriously equip myself, at minimal cost, with enough gear from subminiature to large format, to easily last me the rest of my life for about the cost of one Hasselblad. Am I some sort of a fool? I don't think so. Ask the British Royal Photographic Society, who in 1993 awarded me an earned Licentiate Distinction for the quality of my work.
