Hvala ti! Jako mi je drago što se ipak nekome sviđaju i takvi kadrovi.

how do you like the kiev4? i have one too (she's being quite lazy at the moment, as i mainly shoot my m) - sometimes behaves like a diva, but a fun camera to shoot i think...

I don't have much experiences to compare. But I would say something like you: sometimes it provides surprisingly excellent results: sharpness, colors, blur... And sometimes exactly its faults (for example, the lack of protective layers on the lens) contributes to the beauty of the photos. The problem is that my model doesn't have photometer (and even those who have it are not precise, because it is selenium photometer), and therefore I can't be fast when shooting on the street with it.
The sound of his clique at capture is odd, as if not a precise mechanics, but the patter or dull, and therefore one doesn't have feeling that photography will appear later. 
Anyway, I think I prefer rangefinders more than SLR, and I should get me something better of this kind, perhaps Zeiss Ikon or Leica M6. Do you have any advices about it?

what lens do you have? a jupiter-8 50 mm? that's the one i bought with my kiev.
my kiev has a lightmeter and it still works (not perfectly precise, but still), but nevertheless i hardly used it, only to meter once for light and once for shadow, because metering every time would take me too long and isn't necessary, as long as the light conditions don't change. i used an iphone app to meter light and a bit of guesswork and that worked quite well i have to say.
my kiev sometimes didn't transport properly, i ended up with overlapping exposures every once in a while, but still she's quite fun to shoot - not an instrument of precision though, my little russian diva!
kiev's are said to have very silent shutters, but you are right, it sounds a bit weird, you have to get used to it...
never tried a zeiss ikon, bought myself an m6 after some time with the kiev - heaven on earth, but a lot of money, especially when taking into cosideration that i only payed 40€ for my kiev... i kind of treated myself to the m6 after finishing university and as a belated birthday persent for my 30th birthday (only to justify the amount of money i spent...

Yes, it is a 50mm.
A friend loaned me a 35mm, but I have not tried it yet.
I will try to implement your advice. I have external light meter, but old kind: selenium, not fast and nod precise.
Tell me Anja, is your job associated with art?

oh, would make a nice combo, the 50 and the 35!
just try and meter some examples of light when you go out and remember the settings for light & shadows (for example), then the speed is not a worry any more. or try to measure with your digital camera for the same light once and see how far the old external meter is off to get a feeling - most films are quite forgiving for under or overexposure (within certain limits of course). I can remember it's a bit scary in the beginning to shoot without meter or only knowing approximately how to expose, but after a while your eyes become something like a light meter themselves...
no, my job isn't associated with art, except you want to call infusing people with knowlegde without them really noticing an art!
i'm a psychologist and work for a cosmetics company in training and coaching (and other bits and pieces that also want to be done by somebody).

So, psychologist! In my experiences, people usually first get into a panic when a psychologist appears in the company. They think: "OMG, he/she will read all my inside"
I suppose that this profession is good for photography, due to the invisible (psychological) components in the artistic work and considering the psychology of visual perception of the world.

haha, yes, that's usually the first reaction!!!
but i think it helped that i started as a part timer while i was still studying, gradually worked my way up and stayed in the company when i had finished university, so i was always there and people don't think of me as a psychologist, i'm just the trainer!

U malome gradu, s "dvije" ulice, čovjek pokušava naći novi pogled na uvijek iste prizore.
Život je tako dosadan!!!

Vrlo dobro znam taj osjecaj. Nisam direktno u Cikagu a i da jesam isto bih bilo, hehe. Zato ta ista i stara mjesta poklanjaju mogucnost za eksperimentiranje s fotografijom.
