Nifty thing is -- the shutter works, and appears that the speeds are close to usable as well (no drag or capping). Anyone got suggestions on where I might find a lens to fit or adapt? I've got some russian Zorki lenses -- M39 -- which I could jimmy up a cardboard ring as an adapter for -- but the lens to focal plane length is of course wrong, so focus is out...
