Someone else in the world has to be an owner of one of these Chaika III half-frame cameras. I got mine in the mail yesterday after waiting patiently for 3 weeks. Shipped straight from Ukraine, I immediately ripped the package open only to find nothing but the packing slip and the camera itself. I should've confirmed with the seller as to whether or not a manual would come with it. So I sent him a message and was told that the manual only comes in Russian and so he thought it wouldn't be any help to me. Well, he's right. After hours of scouring the Internet and YouTube for any tutorial/instruction I could find, I decided to just play around with it. I stuck a roll of expired film and I've been clicking away since last night. The film is winding as I see the counter change from time-to-time. However, what are all the other buttons used for?! Am I using it correctly?
I'm hoping someone out there reads this post and helps a camera-obsessed girl in figuring out how to work the latest addition to her collection.
