Lost RF window Zorki 1

[hidejoshi]

Help, I lost RF window from front right side. Has this glass any color or is dioptric? Or can I use clear tihin glass to cover hole?

I don't know, but if it hasn't changed your view through the viewfinder; focus at known distances, frame lines (if it has any), it should be replaceable with plain thin glass.

I have what you need, and no it shouldn't be dioptric. Do you still have the bezel? It will be extremely difficult to cut glass this small. Chrome or Brass, I have a trove of early Zorki/FED parts. I've actually got FED front bezels and rear VF diopter on my Leica III (along with a shutter speed dial).

Shoot me a PM

I need with chrome bezel. Now I glue short pipe with transparent diafilm in. Seems functional but not optical OK. Thank you boys for your time.
