Thank you Luiz for posting these links.
I am surprised by the roughness of that mechanism connection. In Massarki's Leningrad enclosure he mentions that the spring motor is wound by connecting a valve on top of the box via a metal(!!) spring inside the box with bent out ending that just sits on top of the wind crank of Leningrad and winds it by simple friction.. There is no mention of any kind of rubberized medium in between. Wouldn't it scratch the heck out of the wind crank? Maybe it's more elegant than that, but by looking at illustration and the description it sounds quite clunky.

Yes!
He gives also drafts and dimensions of how it works. I found much more interesting the firing mechanism with trigger. See that this box is a Kind of "universal" receives Leningrad all types of Zorkis, FEDs and Kievs with proper connection.
The spring will never scratch the knob no rubber needed. When you go winding the camera, the spring tights around the knob without any scapement In the reverse sense it naturally looses becoming idle. Very intelligent! Try a spring around your finger. You will be surprised! |

Luiz,
Nice old way to do it! When I was younger, living on Long Island, near New York City, I have seen people do something similar with clear heavy-duty plastic freezer bags and using a haze filter to go over the lens and seal the hole cut on the side of the plastic!
Regards, Bill

Would it be OK to put this beauty to Wiki? It must be there!  |

Alain, term "wiki" is used when you describe collaborative web sites like this one where anyone can add and edit the catalog of entries. What Okynek meant is whether you would be kind enough to create an entry in the catalog for this camera in the Movie Cameras section.
