I decided to take my Zorki 4 out for a walk this weekend.  Quirky, klunky 
camera, kind of hard to focus when the diopter lever decides to move itself 
when it feels like it.  I struggled with it for a while, took a bunch of 
pictures that I'm not very pleased with.

But when I came upon this scene, mmmmm.  A Summicron would have been 
objectively "better," but there's something about the quality of the 1930s 
Sonnar design that suited the subject.
