Welcome to my little photo shop!Almost all my things are Soviet photographic equipment and optics and, as a rule, things that have
received my service and are suitable for use as intended.
However, this is a specific technique.
The Soviet industry and photographic equipment, in particular, did not differ in reliability.
Almost all cameras had problems already during the warranty period.
Some models simply did not work, they were constantly being repaired and
eventually the user returned them.
By the way, this procedure in the Soviet Union was very difficult.
I can name a few such models - Almaz-103, Kiev-17-20, Zenit-4-5-6-7-19, Elikon-AF...
It may be hard to believe if not living in the USSR at that time, but this is a fact!
That is, on average, 5-7 percent of the equipment needed service during the warranty period, then maintenance was also required.
Of course, we are talking about used cameras.
Cameras that were not used and stored in factory condition, preserved in their original form.
Such things can still be purchased, although rarely. However, they are guaranteed not to work correctly.
I can draw an analogy with the car,
which stood 20 years in the garage and then began to be used. How much, do you think, he will drive after leaving?
Thus, I sell the photo equipment after the repair and directly indicate - whether it is suitable or not suitable for use.
I do not use evasive language and thus take responsibility.
However, the buyer must also understand the reality.
This is not a new thing, even a state - this thing is simply not used,
however, it was released many years ago and should be brought to working condition.
I have experience, knowledge and spare parts, but even in this case, I cannot work perfectly.
Mistakes happen, unforeseen problems also, damage in transit ...
In each case, the response is necessary - the buyer paid the money and also understand my situation.
If there is a problem, then contact me directly, I will always help.
As you can see from my fedbaks, I try to do it effectively.
Soviet cameras and lenses are interesting things, a lot of my customers use them for shooting, not only for the collection.
I try to give a second life to these things.
Help me on this.
About the condition.
I use the following scale state of things:
New - Like new - Mint(+,-) - Excellent(+, - ) - Good working - As is.
A separate listing of technical condition. As a rule, I sell things in working order.
Description.Up for the auction Zorki-4 with Jupiter-8 lens - Russian
rangefinder camera for 35-mm film.
KMZ optical factory, Krasnogorsk, Soviet Union.
Export version.
These cameras were manufactured separately by the best specialists,
had careful control and, as a result, often survive to this day even after normal use.
I mean that the camera was used quite a lot, although very carefully, as evidenced by the complete set.
1965 year of manufacture.
"Excellent" general condition.
Few paint abrasions on the camera body.
The camera had service.
Detailed photos show some stages of this process.
Fortunately, this camera has not been subject to previous attempts at
repair, except for the most popular - pulling the curtains to create the illusion of the shutter working.
One of the photos shows the shutter springs as they were almost 60 years later.
Obviously, their additional tension does not make sense - they rotate with difficulty in thick lubricant.
And the second conclusion is, that these and other parts are lubricated with thick lubricant, and not with oil or WD-40.
As result, after the service the camera works great and is suitable for photography.
Cosmetical condition - please, see detailed photos.
Lens glass condition - clean.
Very good condition, perfect.
Please, see detailed photos and ask questions before bidding.
Serial number 6531127.
Comes with full factory set.
All accessories are original, all serial numbers match.
The camera was equipped with a special two-cylinder cassette, which I strongly DO NOT recommend using.
These cassettes are prone to jamming inside the camera, the consequences of which are tragic.
