I have a very clean I-61 that I got in a trade, as a body cap actually, I have never shot it. I figured because you could get them for $12 shipped from Eastern Europe they were poop, and here you are making decent pictures with one!
 
I hope you recognize the lens on the Leica camera.)
To do a good job in anything, if the lens doesn't like it, it will make bad shots...
I hope the translation is a little clear.)
The pilot strokes the plane before the flight, like a jockey horse before the race (This often helps)))
 
I shall screw it on the Zorki 3M and see what's what!

Alright, so about a year ago, I got an Industar 61 with a Zorki 4. Turns out the take-up spool was the incorrect one, but I shot a couple rolls with the bad one (it slipped, but kinda worked). Now that I have the new spool, I'm excited to try out a completely working camera.

That said, what's up with these lenses (I mean, Russian RF lenses in general)? Something I've noticed with nearly all the color shots I see from them is that they render color very...flat? All the shots I see look like they're 50 years old. Here's a couple shots with the Zorki/N61, shot on Fuji Superia 400 at box speed, shot with a light meter:

By comparison, here's the same film, shot with the same meter, through a Yashica Electro 35:

Also, the white spots: dirt, or a hole-y curtain?

In my experience, the FSU rangefinder lenses that I have used give excellent colors. Looking at your examples, I suspect that your color issues stem from a shutter problem and the resulting poor exposures.


This is from my Industar-61 L/D and expired Fuji Superia 400

I made this image with an Industar 61LD converted to Kiev/Contax mount for the Sony E mount.

Here is one more from the adapted lens and NEX6

This is what the Kiev/Contax to NEX adapter looks like. Cleaner than some I have seen.

Now I can also use my Jupiter 8m as well as my Helios 103 with the NEX6.

Well, the quality of light after the sun has set is not all that good for color. And the spots are just dirt, probably introduced during the scanning process.

Few of my pictures with obvious (big white spot in the middle of frame) but what it seams to be random problem. It's not flare related I guess since some pictures were taken from shade and still received white spot.
