Any ideas for an ersatz or genuine replacement? Camera is fine otherwise. Am still shooting with the self-timer.
 
Whereabouts are you? I have a spare I could send you. How on earth did you come to lose it? It should be held in place by a set-screw, without which the button and possibly a few other bits are liable to come flying out - are you sure you've lost only the button? Have a look inside where it fits, do you see a spring? Don't turn the camera upside down while the button is missing!
 
Thanks for you reply! I'm in New York city. The button came unscrewed. Happened a few times and I just tightened it back on. I guess the set screw came off at some point, but I don't remember seeing one. I think it came off in my bag. Here's what it looks like now:

If you PM me your address and tell me exactly which parts are missing, I can send them to you. Have a look in the Zorki 4/4K CLA sticky to see photos of what should be there!
