A while ago I was with a few friends, taking pics with an Ukrainian
Leica-based rangefinder, the FED-5V. These cameras, made until the 90's in
Kharkov, are supposed to be radiactive because:
1.- The Lanthanum glass element in their excellent Industar-61L/D lens.
2.- Kharkov is about 250 miles away from Chernobyl!!!
After I told them the story about this camera, it was quite funny to see
them literally *jump* whenever I put the camera near their crotches ;-) ;-)
;-)
Enjoy,
