Newfound love, Zorki 3C + J8

[bradbrok]

First post here on RFF, over at APUG mostly. But I had recently picked up an excellent specimen of a Zorki 3C, and instantly fell in love with it's temperamental attitude.

Following shot with the J8 lens + Portra 400 VC (Running around Truckee just looking for bright and saturated natural colors to test the cameras capabilities)

I think you have a well-registered kit there ...

Love the 3c. Mine has light leaks in the back, trying to gear up the patience and time to do it. Or just pay someone.

You could try glueing some black wool in the groove where the back meets the body which wouldn't take a minute and might solve the problem.

Thanks, that's what I've been meaning to get around to trying ...

Mine too has a tiny bit of light leak when I press on the back, only fogs just before the frame, and not too troublesome (yet). I think I'm going to try that black wool trick as well.
