After I moved I took my oldest ZM-3b out of the case and discovered
that the rear optical elements had clouded. I contacted Arax photo
and he had the lens recoated at Arsenal. I am just pleased as punch
with the work, they actually multicoated it for around $150. I say
around because I also sent a Saluit C that I had purchased at a
camera show for $30. It was in exquisite shape but someone had
jammed the shutter. I knew the dealer and he sold it with the case,
waist level finder and 2 matching film backs. It was added to the
pile of projects to do. One day I got around to it and the shutter
had miraculously self healed. It was obvious that it needed a good
CLA. When I had to send the lens I also sent the camera. I decided
to have it converted to Pentacon mount and several other minor
modifications while I was at it. I just got it back too and can not
say too much about the good workmanship. It is almost as smooth as a
Hasselblad in operation.

I have to assume that the conversions that he sells are every bit as good as mine!
