I gotta stop looking at ebay as this time my compulsive fingers fired off a bid for a Krasnogorsk-3. I have always wanted one but they use to go for a lot of money where as now you can get em for well under $200 shipped.

It arrived yesterday, Wow! this ones totally mint. I love the construction of these Russian cameras. Rock solid and NOISY, though I guess its not really louder than a Bolex H or Scoopic. Now I just need to pratice loading before my Foma arrives.

Anybody using or used a K-3?

Since your an 8mm film loading freak already, 16mm should be a breeze, right?

<font size="2" face="verdana, sans-serif">I've already found that like a Bolex H the auto loading works best at a slow speed while also making sure that the first couple inches of film is not too curled up.
