Rare Zorki-3M with Jupiter-8 lens M39 camera.Exc+,repaired №5547806

Description: Welcome to my little photo shop!Almost all my things are Soviet photographic equipment and optics and, as a rule, things that have received my service and are suitable for use as intended.However, this is a specific technique. The Soviet industry and photographic equipment, in particular, did not differ in reliability.Almost all cameras had problems already during the warranty period. Some models simply did not work, they were constantly being repaired andeventually the user returned them. By the way, this procedure in the Soviet Union was very difficult.I can name a few such models - Almaz-103, Kiev-17-20, Zenit-4-5-6-7-19, Elikon-AF...It may be hard to believe if not living in the USSR at that time, but this is a fact!That is, on average, 5-7 percent of the equipment needed service during the warranty period, then maintenance was also required.Of course, we are talking about used cameras. Cameras that were not used and stored in factory condition, preserved in their original form.Such things can still be purchased, although rarely. However, they are guaranteed not to work correctly. I can draw an analogy with the car, which stood 20 years in the garage and then began to be used. How much, do you think, he will drive after leaving?Thus, I sell the photo equipment after the repair and directly indicate - whether it is suitable or not suitable for use.I do not use evasive language and thus take responsibility.However, the buyer must also understand the reality.This is not a new thing, even a state - this thing is simply not used,however, it was released many years ago and should be brought to working condition.I have experience, knowledge and spare parts, but even in this case, I cannot work perfectly.Mistakes happen, unforeseen problems also, damage in transit ...In each case, the response is necessary - the buyer paid the money and also understand my situation.If there is a problem, then contact me directly, I will always help.As you can see from my fedbaks, I try to do it effectively.Soviet cameras and lenses are interesting things, a lot of my customers use them for shooting, not only for the collection.I try to give a second life to these things. Help me on this. About the condition. I use the following scale state of things:New - Like new - Mint(+,-) - Excellent(+, - ) - Good working - As is. A separate listing of technical condition. As a rule, I sell things in working order. Description.Up for the auction Zorki-3M with Jupiter-8 lens - Russian rangefinder camera for 35-mm film.KMZ optical factory, Krasnogorsk, Soviet Union.1955 year of manufacture."Excellent" general condition.Few little abrasions on the chrome, very good condition for a camera, that is almost 70 years old.The camera was not on the shelf, it was used, but carefully and correctly. Another positive point is, that the camera was not in amateur repair. The lens was lubricated, the rotation was acceptable. However, these cameras are quite rare these days, so I performed a full service of the camera and lens. This is the most complete service with disassembly of all camera units. First of all, disassembly is necessary for quality cleaning and lubrication. In principle, cameras of the Zorki series can be brought into working condition in about an hour, and they will work acceptably. But only acceptably, not for a very long time and not at low temperatures. I did what they do at the factory during assembly and after which the camera works for decades. The last photos show the stages of the cleaning process and the assembled shutter. The lens underwent the same full service. Cosmetical condition - please, see detailed photos. Lens glass condition - some little scratches on the front glass. Please, see detailed photos and ask questions before bidding. Serial number 5547806.Comes with lens cap, take-up film spool and leather case. The case is not original, unfortunately. It is from a Zorki-4 camera manufactured in 1956 and is a complete copy of the original, except for the inscription. Shipping and payment. Send within 3 days after clear payment.
