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-3C with Jupiiter-8 lens - Russian
rangefinder camera for 35-mm film.
KMZ optical factory, Krasnogorsk, Soviet Union.
1956 year.
"excellent-" general condition. Please, see detailed photos.
As always, restoring the camera requires lubrication of the shutter
mechanism, including lubrication of the shutter springs.
It’s interesting, that this camera previously had a curtain replacement service.
This was apparently done a long time ago, and quite skillfully.
However, even then, obviously in the workshop conditions, the shutter springs were not lubricated;
I provide a separate photo.
As you can see, in this state the lubricant blocks the operation of the shutter, even if the air temperature is quite summer.
Even a tension of 2-3 times more will not give an effect, not to mention the obvious harm from the critical load on the parts of the shutter and the deformation of the springs.
Therefore, both - the camera and the lens - must be completely disassembled and subsequently serviced.
Cosmetical condition - please, see detailed photos.
Lens glass condition - few scratches on the front glass, few little marks on the rear glass.
Please, see detailed photos and ask questions before bidding.
Serial number 5618619.

The case is not in good shape, as shown in the photo.
