Description: 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 andeventually 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-3 with Jupiter-8 lens - Russian rangefinder camera for 35-mm film.KMZ optical factory, Krasnogorsk, Soviet Union.1954 year of manufacture."Excellent - " general condition.Some wear to the chrome on the bottom cover. The camera was in use and apparently worked a lot. The camera had service and repeatedly, the last attempts were apparently unsuccessful, because the curtains lost their elasticity, but were not replaced. There were attempts in other ways to revive the mechanism. This has no effect without a radical repair. As a result, it was necessary to practically reassemble the camera with replacement of curtains, some parts and all fasteners. The camera is fully functional, but I want to warn the potential user. First of all, this is an initially capricious model, 100 percent due to the mechanism of long speeds. Almost all problems are associated with it. It does not give accurate and stable values of the shutter speed, this must be kept in mind. Due to the peculiarities of its inclusion, the shutter cocking must be done smoothly and not too quickly. All of the above applies to all such cameras, even new ones. Now, after 70 years, we must be understanding of the fact, that this model was quickly replaced by more tolerant ones. Cosmetical condition - please, see detailed photos. Lens glass condition - some little scratches on the front glass.On the back of the first glass along the perimeter there are small traces of mold, it itself is deactivated and removed, no problem. The lens is of old manufacture and gives an excellent picture, despite the condition not mint. Please, see detailed photos and ask questions before bidding. Serial number 5411676.Comes with lens cap, take-up film spool and leather case. Shipping and payment. Send within 3 days after clear payment. Combine shipping are possible, please, contact me.
