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]]> uwittehh@oxle.com http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=3724&REPLY_ID=22404 Collectors and Users Open Forum Tue, 30 Jun 2026 14:03:51 +0200 http://USSRPhoto.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3724 Quote:
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.

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.

Isaak was a prominent figure in the Soviet photographic world. He authored numerous articles for Soviet photography magazines, books on camera repair and was a renowned camera repairman in both the Soviet Union and the United States. He was also one of the pioneers of Soviet camera collecting and restoration, helping to shape the hobby and preserve its history for future generations.

After the show, Greg and I continued communicating and agreed that it would be a great idea to write an article about Isaak. The article below was written by Greg and is accompanied by an article from Shutterbug magazine. Together, they serve as a tribute to Isaak's life, his contributions to photography, and the lasting impression he made on those who knew him. I believe this site would be a perfect place to host this article. Thank you @Greg Prior!
