Zorki 10

[Sully27]

Hi everyone.

The lens on my Zorki 10 is jamming up with either dirt/or it has come off its threads.

I've just been quoted £99 for a repair, which I def cannot afford, as well considering the worth of the camera.

Could anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can learn to take off the lens/access it to try and repair it myself?

Regards,
Ben

But if you have no camera repair experience, it might be a bit of a challenge.

Thanks! It looks like from these photos the front of the camera comes off around the lens? From there I should be able to get the dirt out/put it back on thread.

I may as well try it, I'd rather try and fail than spend £100 on a repair which in essentially a clean, no doubt.

If not I can just pick another one up from eBay for a 10th of the repair cost.
