Was it when he changed the shutter speeds before cocking the shutter, he actually put it on the wrong speed? If I recall correctly the shutter speed dial rotates when the shutter is fired and finishes up at a different place on the dial, so when you wind on the film it brings the dial into the correct position to change the shutter speed against the engraved marks? I would shoot a roll at least and see how it exposes and make a decision from there. I think I've read conflicting reports if it means automatic borking or it can accumulate to an ultimate bork eventually. Now I think the shutter speed dial sequence has the potential of borking you if done incorrectly, but.

It just needs to have been built right originally. I will continue to gamble with the lenses but the bodies are too much of a crap shoot for my tastes and I LIKE buying old camera stuff. I dont have a fsu screwmount but I do have a Kiev/Contax and I learned the hard way. You just need to be honest and talk to him about it. Luckily for you, if you feel the camera speeds were out when you received it from Yuri, he will take care of you. It's just inviting trouble, even from a so called repair guy at a shop THESE days which probably means dslr training at most.

I NEVER have had my Barnack "borked" becuase I would never hand it to anyone that I dont trust to be a manual camera freak like most of us here are. How many of you have had people nearly screw up your FSU Rangefinder or Barnack Leica?

Also: I'd love to hear your similar experiences.

Are erratic shutter speeds typical of shutter misuse? (That's what I've read, and I've also read they can go back to normal after 2-3 shots, but you guys would know better.).

Is my camera borkedand how can I tell?.

:/ I like the owner of that shop and I like the first guy, but this second guy was not careful at all. I was mad enough to fight so I jut picked the path of least resistance and got out of there. I took my camera back, checked the shutter 20 times to check if he broke it (didn't see any shutter separation), said good day, and screamed outside. What the hell? Of course, he had a Leica III he was willing to sell meengraved with someone's else's name in it. He told me to send it back, save some money, and buy a Leica III. I said, "But you just changed the shutter before you cocked the shutter!" As he continued to show me problem, I noticed: he changed the shutter speed before he cocked the shutter. one of the times I cocked the shutter, the two curtains were 1/8th of an inch apart!" I hadn't noticed any of that the 100 times I cocked the shutter the night before. The second guy ran it through the machine himself and turned up with a different attitude, "So this shutter is 3/4ths of a stop off and erratic!" He showed me the back and continued to explain, "See how the shutter slides back. He, however, wanted a second opinionso he brought in another guy.

these are so-so speed timings, but they're usable." He was very careful to follow my instructions. One guy ran it through their machine and turned up with "Eh. I made it very clear to them that they shouldn't change shutter speeds without cocking the shutter first. Today, I decided to take it to local camera shop to get its shutter speeds checked out. Yesterday I received a MIR, the Zorki 4 with fewer shutter speeds, from.
