Hi Alain,
Why not....
But he could have used a real Zorki release button instead of the one of a Fed 1g...
I don't know why, but the vulcanite too looks to me from Fed and not Zorki...
Amitiés. Jacques. |

That time, the body is the one of a Zorki.
Congratulations for the two accessory clips! And for the work...
Jacques. |

The top is a Zorki original, The accessory shoes I had. I put the turrret viewfinder on and go shooting with my 35 jupiter. The hyper-focal focusing works great with the 35mm or wider. Don

| Don wow pretty cool! So did you just cut off the rangefinder housing? And what is it around the shutter release button? |

No I kept the rangefinder and housing for spare parts, baffled off the holes and filled then mounted accessory shoes. The shroud for the shutter pin-hole timer I made from a housing for an automotive flasher module. I then remounted the spring from the shutter arm. It was attached to the base for the original cover and accessory shoe screws. I allowed room to access shutter pivots on the top for lubing. I always thought the Leica 1A was sharp so now I almost have one. Just Zorki Chrome will stay for now...The camera is pretty easy to work on except for doing a shutter re-do, then I will send it to Yuri I don't have that much confidence in doing re gluing them . These cameras are such a bargain, I am going to purchase another for back-up. Don
