I got another "almost nearly mint possibly never ever used absolutely very good condition excellent camera" from a Russian E-bay dealer. The problem is that the shutter in the Zorki 4K in question (which had clearly gone throught some not-so meticulous servicing) started to malfunction after a few test firings (no, I didn't change the speeds....). The strange this is, the slow speeds work fine, and all the rest (30-1000 and B) work when using the self timer, but when using the shutter release button they fire at some unknown constant speed (shutter won't stay open at B). The shutter release mechanism at the bottom of the housing seems simple enough, but I can't figure out what could cause the problem. Any ideas? |
