Question about my Iskra

[optikhit]

The lens in my Iskra folder seems a little bit loose. It often tilts a bit when I focus the lens. Any idea about it? Thanks in advance.

That can happend if the two rivets that hold the shutter holder are a bit too loose. You can make sure they are set properly by making a "pincer" with your fingers and pressing them in after unfolding the camera...
One of my Iskra was doing that, and I ended up using a plier to /gently/ pre-set the rivet. Be VERY gentle, if you don't you might not be able to fold it again!

Thank you Buze. I will try to fix it myself but it seems little bit dangerous.
I have check your Flikr pages. Great photos i have ever seen, especially the photos taken with Iskra. I add the page into my favorites...

Thanks ! 😀

Yeah Iskra is probably my favourite camera too. Compact, quick and easy to use, and excellent image quality !
