Zorki 4k Problem!!??


Recommended Posts

The facts :

 

-When i my reeled my film when it was finished, i thought i had reeled completely, not sure, i went to my room

which has almost in the dark to check if the film was still there, to my horror it was still there....!

 

- I developed the color movie in tmax dev which was only intended for b&w movie (i didn't know)

 

The problem: ALL of my images are cut in half , means that i have one half that has a correctly exposed image ,

and the rest is completely white , The image is cut in half with a straight vertical line in the middle.

 

Camera : Zorki 4k

Film : Kodak Gold 100

 

what's the problem ? what can i do to fix it??

 

Thanks

<p>Have a camera repair person clean, lube, and adjust the shutter. The shutter is "capping", the second curtain (cloth) is catching up with the first one way too soon. Probably because the Soviet-era "lubrication" has turned into glue.<br>

Of course, depending on where you are and who does it, it may cost more than your Zorki, or more than a working Zorki.<br>

They didn't make Zorki's well in the first place, and they didn't use good materials or lubricants. But they met the "Five Year Plan", of course.</p>
