I went out on saturday with the Z3 thinking I had everything fixed on it. What do they say about Mr. Murphy... Anyway, the shutter did this weird jamming thing about 3/4 through the first roll and I was too enthralled with where I was(junkyard of pre-70s american cars) to even notice. I did get some lucky mistakes😛 I offer these to you as proof of the Z3 and the J8 paired together.

Same 53 Buick, notice the date on the tag.

Every camera I had out that day suffered some sort of failure...🙁
I am planning on returning to the yard in a couple of weeks. I still haven't figured out the shutter failure on the Zorki 3. I took it apart last night and re-adjusted the tension on the shutter curtains. That seemed to fizx it. I am gonna hit it with some compressed air today. I think that it was just jamming with some crud in the shutter tracks. We will see.
