He is very highly regarded on the Russian & Ukranian Camera Users' Forum. This is obviously much more than a replacement would cost, but now I have a smoothly operating 45 year old camera rather than an unrepaired replacement that might not function well for very long. I had originally bought the camera at a flea market for $40 for it's Elmar-clone 50 mm Industrar, intending it for occasional use on my IIIa. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit that body, although it works fine on my IIIf--so much for the precision of Soviet LTM lens mounts. I'm thinking of dedicating the body exclusively to a Voightländer/Cosina 15 mm. Heliar where the odd triangular Zorki RF cam shouldn't be a drawback. The only downside is that the Leica cassettes I normally use don't fit. Bob Marvin
