On a short drive after some shopping saw some locals

Can anybody tell me what breed these two are (I know I've asked before). The horned sheep showed some strange, to me, actions. When I stood at the gate to the field it came up and stood up against the top bar and then started pawing the bottom bar. I've stopped there before and it has never has it done that. Was it hungry? And another less bold
All with a Pentax K3

I really like the first one, and not sure why, maybe the colours and the way all the tunnels inter-twine, something about it suits my eye !
You have a nice collection there Sangoma !Photography has much more fun to it than just taking pictures
Couple of weeks effort.
What started off as a small task to see what film cameras I had that could be put to use, ended up more involved.
All the Voigtlanders except the bottom right had the shutters stripped, cleaned and assembled with everything straight (and don't tell any one, four points in each had a smell of oil applied)
The average price was £12 each, except the bottom right one, which came with a genuine Voigtlander rangefinder, lens hood and spot finder, which would have cost more alone than the £30 I paid for the whole lot.
Still have two to go, one the light meter movement is broken, so probably just keep for spares, and one I assembled the shutter yesterday, still have to finish the lens assembly and mount it back on the camera.

Then some Russians.
The Zorki is mine I have had for years, the Lubitel was £7 (not the one I got on here), the two Zenits I have had for quite a few years, but now got round to replacing top dials, setting shutters and fixing the light meters.
The two FEDs are recent, the 3 wasn't in a good state, though the seller made out it was, but now OK, and the FED 4 is the camera that my 12 year old son has chosen for film.
He made a good choice to my mind, but he could have had a Pentax MZ50, Canon 300V or Canon 500M. I think he has good taste

Do you mean the Voigtlanders?Very impressed. I have about five of those.
I have two Vito B's. One earlier and one later. But I'm aware there is another variant of the earlier one with a different shutter. I also have a FED 4, two 3's, early and late type, and a Zenit, 11, I think. Close to an EM.Do you mean the Voigtlanders?
First 35mm camera I used was a Voigtlander Vito BR in 1965, so I have a soft spot for them. They are also incredibly well built, I haven't come across one that has broken or failed body wise. The SVS shutters get sticky, but that has been the case for at least 30-40 years, but easy to put right.
Can't get a BR now, cheapest I have seen was £100!
Those are crackers.
