Steve,
I can't hold the Zorki up to my eye and shoot
so I have just been shooting blind from the waist. That can be kinda tricky with a 50mm lens, so I got the J-12 to make it easier. I've been shooting the 35mm FOV a lot lately, and so I can compose blind fairly well. I'm also getting better at judging focus distance.
The J-12 seems great so far. It's a bit odd in that it's a wide-angle but it has pincushion distortion, and the focus plane certainly isn't flat, but it seems quite sharp.
I'm looking forward to shooting some TMAX 100 with it.
