Hi folks,

I have uploaded a new repair guide, this time covering the complete disassembly of a Zorki 3.
Please also check whether the translation is OK (or whether I have described something incorrectly).
I had almost everything translated automatically using deepl.com, including this post :-)

Hello Connor,

Yes, the button for slow speeds can be very tight, I know that. I also removed the tiny grub screws first, but the button wouldn't come off (it can actually just be pulled off). It only worked with pliers and a lot of force.
Here I have completely disassembled a Zorki 3, maybe that will help a little:

http://fotos.cconin.de]]> Should i buy this prism for my 12xp? Valkir1987@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=3706&REPLY_ID=22266 Collectors and Users Open Forum Sun, 21 Sep 2025 11:24:12 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3706 Quote:
The prism does not have the usual corner stripe that appears in the middle of the finder. There are however some spots caused by the foam. Replace the foam with felt when you change the prism.

New prisms are hard to get (there was a good old stock for a while) and mirror coating companies willing to coat prisms are hard to find.

Squeak means dried out lubricants. As long as the second curtain closes swiftly you should not worry about the exposure too much. On higher speeds the curtains are linked to give exposure within a certain tolerance.

There is only one fix for the squeak and that's a full service and relubrication.

Like most E types the 12XP is a solid companion and shooter.]]> KIIV IIIa in a nice case Fred_L@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=3705&REPLY_ID=22265 Collectors and Users Open Forum Tue, 16 Sep 2025 08:47:44 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3705 Quote:

Juhani, or it's a film speed memo pocket


I was thinking that frame thing looks like a film reminder pocket, but that the space between the back of the frame and the back of the camera looks far deeper than any piece of paper or cardboard would be, unless it was folded over a couple of times, which would be a waste of paper or cardboard. Hmmm, Unless the film speed/type insert itself was made of metal so that any rain or bumps wouldn't damage it?]]>
