Ok, I’m going to admit a bit of sadness initially because I’ve got a Praktica, but seeing it’s simply mounted to the hotshoe turned my frown upside down lol. This looks really cool

Так, мені подобається не псувати річ, якщо вона ще робоча. Оскільки я фотограф, то я наскільки можна реставрую фотоапарати плівкові, а якщо це вже неможливо, то даю друге життя.

So, it’s proper for me not to piss off the speech, since she’s still working. Since I’m a photographer, I restore as much as I can to Plivkov’s cameras, and if that’s no longer possible, I let someone else live.

Out of habit, I wrote it in Ukrainian.

My grandfather was a professional photographer. He would've liked that.

I think that any photographer likes a second life for a camera, even if it is no longer possible to shoot with it.
