I'm looking for spare Kiev4am body to drop the shutter in, a 4m would also be fine but the whole point is is kind of the get rid of the original selenium meter.]]>

New curtains source for zorki cainiao_2020@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=3726&REPLY_ID=22406 Collectors and Users Open Forum Tue, 30 Jun 2026 17:00:38 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3726 Quote:
thanks, moving the curtain 1mm unfortunately dosen't work on 0,15mm curtains because the shutter wouldn't fully close while cocking the shutter.
didn't knew 0.05mm in thickness would make such a huge difference at 1/1000 because the etone curtains seems to work ok for 1/500.

i will look into the curtains from nobbysparrow for my next CLA]]>

Jacques,
thanks for showing your beautiful "Leicas" :-)
The last one looks really nice, specially the engravings on the lens front ring.
For the first one I have no idea what the source for this could have been. I looked in "Leica Copies by HPR" but have not found a camera with such a rewind lever.

Rare lens Industar-61 with distance scale in FEET Yuriy Lozinsky@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3725 Collectors and Users Open Forum Sat, 27 Jun 2026 17:32:30 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3725 The export version of the Industar-61 lens with a distance scale in feet is very rare.
I know of only a few examples:
I-61 #6591212 (1965)
I-61 #8519490 (1973)
I-61 #8697161 (1974)
I-61 #8715502 (1975)
I-61 #8864961 (1965)
Does anyone have this lens or camera with documentation?
I'd like to know which countries they were exported to?

Interesting!
On the postwar British and French submarines, the cameras were adapted from the production (Reid and Sigrist I; different Foca models). I wonder why a special camera on Soviet ones, whereas it could certainly have been easy to adapt some Feds...Amitiés. Jacques.
