What's the story on these Russian copies so far as shooting in the  

real world?

a suitable second ltm body?

or first body for that matter?

I have a light leaking IIIf that seems impossible to cure.

 

Hi ric,

I don't know about other like cameras but the FED I have works. I shot a
couple of rolls with it in Moscow and souped when I got home. Everything
looked OK at the time. But it's really been sitting in the gear cabinet for
a few years and only clicked  through the shutter speeds every once in
awhile to keep it loosened up.

 

I'm sure others on list have other stories.
