http://fotos.cconin.de]]> Zenit B Global uwittehh@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3713 Collectors and Users Open Forum Thu, 12 Mar 2026 16:06:27 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3713
I have found this rare Zenit B Global. It is in very good condition, inside it looks as if it was never used.
The shutter was stuck, it won't run after releasing, but with a litte bit force I was able to let the first curtain run :-) Now it works smooth.

Unfortunately the lens is not the original one, a silver-black Helios with white digits would be the right one.

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:
