Hey guys, I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. My Zenit B has developed a problem with the shutter. It just doesn't work. It was fine when I was using it the other night but then it stopped. When the problem happened, the shutter didn't fuly close and then the film advance went a bit stiff. I rewound the film and then the camera would wind on, with the first 75% of the stroke would be very easy, to the point of it feeling like it was freewheeling in the mechanism, then the last 25% becomes quite stiff.

Seeing as the Zenit B machanism is very similar to the Zorki, I thought someone here could point me in the right direction with ideas of fixing it, or maybe sending it off to be repaired and CLA'ed.

Thanks in advance.

Heath
