Hello,

I think this might be of interest to you all too, so I have put all my repair instructions, which were scattered all over my website, together on one page.
All pages are still in German, but I will translate them into English in the future.

If you are interested you can have a look: http://ritzelkiste.de/kameras/repair/index.htm

Have fun
Ulrich

Vlad,

thank you. I knew there was such a section somewhere, but I hadn't found it :-)

Thanks for all, Ulrich. No doubt it will help.
I will have a special look on the Kiev service.
And as for me, I appreciate the translation!

Amitiés. Jacques.

Jacques,

the Kiev service is more of a quick and dirty service, like the Zorki 4. I disassemble the Kievs and Contax quite extensively, but I have not yet disassembled the shutter itself.
Recently I had a broken Kiev shutter where the spring of the first curtain had no more strength. I then took it all apart. You can't get it back together again, everything is too small...
A FED or Zorki shutter looks crude and primitive in comparison ;-)
But have fun looking at it anyway.

Ulrich
