Wayne:
I saw this posting on IDCC (Internet Directory of Camera Collectors), where I am also a member. Thought you might be interested, if you haven't already seen it!
----------
I finally decided that I'm ready to unveil this little project of mine!
I would like to invite you all to participate in an ambitious web
project I have been working on for past month - USSRPhoto.com. This web
site is the creation of several Soviet / Russian camera collectors,
working together to create a central comprehensive resource, covering
many areas of this field all in one place.
The web site and the information on it will be maintained by the member
- collectors themselves. Think of it an expanded Wikipedia, but strictly
for Russian / Soviet photographic equipment and related material. The
site also includes a general Soviet / Russian camera forum for member
discussion of many topics, and a Collector's Resource area where there
are links to collections, historical information, buying and selling
resources, and camera seller reviews.
This web project is completely free of charge and is open to anyone who
wants to participate. You need only to be registered if you want to
contribute to any of the section of the web site.
The website I am talking about consists of 3 sections:
· * A Wiki-style Catalog of Soviet/Russian Cameras – this section can be
edited or added to by any user who registers on the website. This Wiki
Catalog will feature information on each Russian / Soviet camera model
and manufacturer, as well as the rare and unique examples that are not
often seen. Any entry concerning Soviet / Russian camera production or
history will be welcome.
· * A User-Maintained database of Camera Collections, Soviet / Russian
equipment dealers, eBay Sellers and Online Stores (with reviews and
opinions the dealers).
· * Discussion Forums – discuss a wide range of topics and sell, trade,
or buy anything related to Soviet Photographic equipment.
We are hoping to build a tightly knit community of Soviet/Russian camera
collectors and freely exchange information and ideas in this subject.
Please visit and register on www.ussrphoto.com we hope to see you there!
Tell me what you think!
Best regards,
Vladislav Kern
