Eddy Smolov is retired, as you know, and the man he endorsed to do his work was Jerry Sorin, who passed away this week. Eddy suggested to me to use "Fima" from now on. His phone is: (212) 563-1651.

Film photography and the Soviet Union are not dead. Just downsized.

These good people seem to be getting hard to find. I feel bad for Jerry. He seemed to be a very nice man.

When you listen to Eddy Smolov describe how he works on Contax cameras, you can hear the pride in his work. His health conditions prevent him from doing such delctae work anymore, and he has accepted the fact that he is now retired.

I enjoy chatting with him once in a while.
