My Zorki 4 is now working

[colyn]

A few weeks ago I picked up a nice condition and working Zorki 4. The one with engraved shutter speed numbers.

The only issue was I was unable to adjust the vertical alignment. After removing the top plate I found the 2 bearings that the rf small mirror arm pivots on were missing.

After a few posts here on the forum wolves3012 was kind enough to send me the bearings. After getting the rf vertical and horizontal adjusted the camera is now fully working and after a test roll of HP5 no light leaks were detected

Thanks again to wolves3012

The help that is readily forthcoming is what is good about this forum.

payasam, pakeha, I'll wholeheartedly second that!
Only been here for a short time but I've been really pleasantly surprised how helpful and friendly people are here, I've said it before but I do think this is the best photography forum going. In a lot of other forums you have to be one of the 'in crowd' to get anywhere but I dont get that feeling here at all.
Its very refreshing!

Now all we need is a working camera for Steve M.

Glad to have been of help! Legend is, perhaps, stretching things a bit 😱
