I ordered this one one week ago: http://www.ebay.de/itm/110751484606
The curtain is very good, thinner than the russian one and more flexible. And the seller is quick (less than a week from Japan!) and not expensive. For 15 US-Dollar you can make 6 pairs of curtains for FED, Zorki or Zenit. He also sells straps for just 1$ per meter.

By the way, it was the first time that I replaced the shutter curtains. I thought it was more complicated :-)

Jacques,

I have found the collars on his site. Really interesting, thanks for the information.

Alexander,

yes, that looks good too. But often there is no need to replace the straps, only the curtains are broken. And then it is less work :-)

By the way, I have replaced the curtains in 3 cameras now, two Zorki 1 and one Zorki 3M. It's a pleasure how low the tensioning of the springs can be if the curtains are new. The cameras (especially the 3M) cock now so smooth as a Leica and they release very quiet.

You can buy the full curtains repair set from Sergej Sibirjakov on Ebay (nic: blyatnikov)

I have bought a couple of them. Very nice, can recommend.

I already ordered from him some small parts, especially collars for shutter release.
Very useful, indeed.

Jacques.
