Came across someone selling a Russian Zenit f2.0 58mm lens in mint condition and he was throwing in a Zenit 412 for free because he claims that there was a problem with the mirror. The mirror was stuck at the down position. I took the risk and bought it for only S$50 (about US$35) … hoping that I can resurrect it (despite knowing that I ain’t trained in these stuffs) and amazingly … I did!<\/p>\n

So what did I do? Hahaha! I don’t believe it myself. After trying to fire the shutter a few times, looking into the camera for a few minutes … I saw a piece of metal thingie beside the mirror in the cam. Not knowing what on earth it is for, I put in my fat finger and tried to push it a little … to figure out how the logic works. Hmm. Push and push … look and look … cock the shutter … and … tada!!!! The mirror now works perfectly and the shutter speed seems (to sound) okay! Yipeee!!!<\/p>\n

The camera came with an ugly blue bag\/pouch that reminds me of the one that came with my Horizon camera.<\/em><\/p>\n

The camera is in very very good condition except for a little patch at the back. I’ll go find some batteries for it and hopefully do some test shots this coming weekend. Hope it will stay in good health and be a happy cammie in my dry cabi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
