But one Russian camera collector recently found the opposite: his $15 Zorki turned out to be an $800 Leica.
As a photographer, I’m asked to shoot unusual assignments sometimes, but I’m always up for the challenge!

After photographing each shop, Gijs printed the photos in his darkroom using caffenol created from that shop's coffee.
