dot dot is dead

i took many pictures like this one, see?
just know that i am different because,
many like me take "B", but i take "C".
factory modification i was.
i am not like the ordinary kind,
carl zeiss jena makes all of my lenses.
please notice that i'm easier to wind,
and my shutter release has rough edges.
produced in nineteen seventy seven,
once found in a little camera store,
purchased from a man that was unshaven,
since then i've taken thirty rolls or more.
but i do admit i would be better
without light leaks and a broken shutter.

(file under salyut-c camera poem. i have a new camera to document my old ones with, but don't expect a sonnet for each.)
