Hi there guys right ill keep it plain and simple, I own a kiev 4a rangefinder. a nice little piece, most of it is in good condition (ragefinder's clean and functional etc etc) but the shutter is well... stuffed. Ive had it apart and come to the conclusion that the shutter "ribbons" are frayed and broken (the release still works) also it fails to select shutter speeds, i have no idea as to what would cause this and im in a bit of a position :S does anyone know how to get around this? or have they fixed it before? any help would be appreciated, cheers |
