Hi all,
I received my Zorki 4 yesterday afternoon, and today, in preparation of shooting my first roll of film I was running through the instruction manual and testing things. Paying close attention to the cardinal rule of not changing shutter speed until after cocking the shutter I tested each of the speeds (1/2s hangs, but otherwise good shape).
When I went to "test" the rewind steps, I pushed down on the rewind ring and turned clockwise, then pulled up on the rewind knob and noted that it spun freely and the sprocket (?)(the part the inserts inside the film cannister and rewinds the film) also appeared to be working fine.
When I turned the rewind ring counterclockwise back to its start position - the shutter release didn't reset. I turned the film advance knob a few times and still the shutter didn't reset. If you have any thoughts, I would greatly appreciate hearing them.
Kind regards,
H.
