Инструкция ремонт камера Зоркий ФЭД Лейка English Manual for Repair Zorki C 2 FED Leica Camera
VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL RF (RangeFinder) Image Adjustment:
Before
starting to horizontal and vertical adjustment
RF you should know that cameras Zorki, FED have
a working piece 28,80mm
+/-0,02мм. As the film in a personnel
window is curved inside of the camera, the
working distance of the camera is established on
0,03-0,005 mm more, than working distance of an
objective (28,84 mm).
During the installation of a working distance it
is not necessary to assort the camera. The
working distance of the camera is adjusted by
correct installation of a flange (20)Pic.7.
It is necessary to adjust paper linings (21)Pic.7
between the camera and a flange (20) to receive
working distance . To measure working distance
it is necessary to have the special device which
you do not have. That is why I'll not begin to
explain how it is necessary to do. Before
starting adjustment of horizontal and vertical
adjustment RF it is necessary to have pliers, a
hour tweezers (certainly it is better to have
for this purpose a special key, but if you want
you can make the key for vertical adjustment by
yourself), 2 screw-drivers with width of an edge 1,2 and
2,5 mm. As the
beginning I offer you to make the vertical
adjustment.
Pic.1
VERTICALVertical
adjustment of RF is made by a wedge (2)
look Pic.1
and Pic.2.
It is necessary for you to make the following
steps:
1) unscrew
chrome plated rim (1)
look Pic.1
and Pic.4
which is screwed on the holder (3)
very important remark: after having removed
chromic rim (1)
screw up against the stop a holder (3).2)
Having inserted the ends of a tweezers or a key
in the apertures of a frame, a wedge (2)is turned, while both images
will not coincide on a vertical one with another.
For this purpose it is possible to use drawn on
a sheet of a white paper a cross located on
distance of 1-2 m
from the camera, or a
roof of a building on the opposite side of
street.
Pic.2
HORIZONTALHorizontal
adjustment of RF is made by the screw (4)
look Pic.1,
Pic.2
and Pic.15.
It is necessary for you to make the following
steps:
1) establish
a lens in position ∞.
2) unscrew with a wide screw-driver
the lateral screw (38)Pic.3
and insert a thin screw-driver into a jack for
the screw. Easily rotating it, you are to hit in
spline of the figured screw (4).
Usually screw is being rotated in this or that
side depending on position of the second mobile
image. If the image does not reach the
indefinitely, the screw is screwed up, if passes
- unscrewed. It is made until images (motionless
and mobile) of the infinite far subject are
combined. 3)
Check of RF on distance of
2-4 m. For this purpose it is necessary
to take a roulette and to measure from a back
side of the camera 1,
2 and
4 m and to draw a
cross on a sheet of a white paper. After that
direct on RF on this sign and check the
indications of a scale of distances on a lens.
If they are not truthful, RF is not adjusted. In
this case it is necessary to unscrew a lens and
to continue adjustment of RF, turning a cam
(14)Pic.2
no more than on 3-5 °.
If value on a scale of distances is more than
exact, it is necessary to turn a cam upwards. If
it is less - downwards. Pic.2 Having
turned a cam in the necessary direction on
3-5 °, adjust RF
again, directing on infinity of the removed
subject and on 1 m.
It is made until indications of RF on infinity
and on 1,
2,
4 m will not
accurately coincide with a scale of distances of
a lens. Deviations on a scale in
0,5-1mm are
supposed at distance up to object of
1,
2 and
4 m, at infinity
there should be an absolute coincidence.

The partial disassembly of the camera.The partial
disassembly of the camera. Partial disassembly
of the camera is made in medial, and sometimes
and fine repair of the mechanism of the gate, RF
and at adjustment of the lenses. It is desirable
to remember arrangements of all details at
partial disassembly Pic.3. A flange
with screws Pic.7 is put in the turned
upside down position, because under him paper
adjustment linings are situated, and you
shouldn't change their position not to break
adjustment. Screws of a lens of a flange pass in
body and they are screwed up in apertures of
linings of top figured (18) and lower (19)Pic.7.
After that unscrew facing screws, and other
details which are shown on Pic.3.
Pic.5
Pic.6
Extraction RF from the body. To take RF from the
body it is necessary for you to unscrew screws
(7, 8, 9, 15)Pic.6. RF may have a little difference
from each other in different models Zorki and
FED. Sometimes earlier RF consist of two parts
as in our case (29)
and (30) on
Pic.10.
Pic.7
Cleaning and lubrication of details and nodes of
the mechanism.Cleaning
and lubrication of details and nodes of the
mechanism. Through the certain time intervals
the camera demands survey, cleaning and
lubrication. Rubbed surfaces of the mechanism
are subjects to lubrication: cartridges and axes
of all cones (27);
a spring of a brake; axes of sleeves (25), (26) and a reel
of shutters; the cartridge where the clutch with
a finger rotates; the cartridge of a driving
element of return of a film; an axis of a reel
of the reception coil. Mechanisms are greased
with watch oil. For
cleaning it is necessary for you to have a rigid
brush, gasoline and if it is possible vacuum
cleaner with a small nozzle. It is necessary for
you to clean the old thickened greasing and the
rests of film. The special attention should be
paid to lubrication of axes of sleeves
(11),
(12) and a
reel (10) Pic.5,6. On
Pic.8 after removal
of RF you can see axes of these sleeves
(25),
(26)
reel. There is no necessity to remove RF for
lubrication of axes, it can be made with the
help of a syringe Pic.5.
Pic.8
Pic.9
For
adjustment of density of landing of the coil on
a reel special springs (28)Pic.9 are made. It is
necessary to raise a little springs with the
help of an edge of a knife to sit a spool more
densely. If spool sits too densely and it is
difficult to take it from the camera by the hand,
springs should be pressed inside.

Malfunctions of a brake latch and failure of
shutter speeds "B".Malfunctions of a brake latch (23)Pic.8,11,12,13 and failure of shutter
speeds "B" have close interrelation. The
endurance "B" (manual) may have any size and is
equal to time of pushing the trigger button (39).
At all automatic shutter speeds the brake latch (23)
releases the second curtains with the help of
the lever of an exposition (38).
At shutter speeds "B" the lever of an exposition
does not any influence on a brake latch (23).
The brake latch (23)
goes upwards and downwards because of action of
2 springs top (24)Pic.11,12 and low (34)Pic.13 While pressing the trigger button (39)
lower spring (34)
moves down and detains the second curtains.
Shutter is open, the personnel window is
completely covered. Having lowered the trigger
button (39),
the lower spring is released (34)
which squeezes out a brake latch (23)
and releases the second curtains. In other words
at speeds "B" braking knuckle (33)Pic.11,12 should get in dredging of a
latch and delay here, otherwise it is necessary
to take out a brake latch and to cut a core a
little. There is one more reason of failure "B".
The finger of the lever (38)
of exposition operates on a brake latch (23)at all speeds, except for "B". This
problem appears in inexact glueing of the
shutters. It is very difficult to re-stick
shutters and not every amateur photographer is
able to do this, it is possible (38)Pic.12 to make the finger of the lever of
an exposition little bit more thin from lateral
aspect. For this purpose it is necessary to take
off the lever of an exposition (38)
and to cut a finger Pic.12 a little with
a needle file.

The most typical breakages of the
shutters.
1.The
slowed down movement of
the curtains is
defined by the dark overdone negatives. If you
will unscrew a lens you will find out the slowed
down movement of the curtains. This problem appears
because the mechanism has become soiled or
because old oil has dried up and condensed. In
the most cases such problems are observed in
those cameras which were not used for many years.
In this case the mechanism demands cleaning and
lubrication. 2.The second
shutter of the curtains at some endurances does not
come back in a starting position. It is
caused by the same reason, as the slowed down
movement of the shutters. Except cleaning and
lubrication of the mechanism, it is necessary to
pull on 0,5-1 revolution springs of the curtains
1а and
2а. For
adjustment of the first
1а and the
second 2а
shutter it is necessary to unscrew 2 screws
36(Pic. 15)
and to start a tension or easing.Often sellers
make an inadmissible tension of springs of
sleeves to keep the camera working, that causes
misoperation and very hard platoon of the gate.
Not so many skilled sellers are able to remove
fine malfunctions in the best quality. That is
why very frequently after lubrication with the
watch oil on the necessary points, the camera
works absolutely in other way. In this case it
is necessary for you to weaken springs of
sleeves and to adjust your gate by yourself.
Film Loading
Pic.17
Pic.18
Pic.19
Before
loading of the film it is very important to
check up landing of your coil
(42)
on a reel look Pic.8. It is necessary to
adjust correct landing of the reception coil
which is responsible for normal work of the
camera. I offer you two ways of loading of a
film.
The first way. It is necessary for you to
make the following steps:
1) Make a cut (I
do without this procedure) on film and insert
its end into the reception coil
(42) as shown
in Pic.17. 2)
On the camera put shutter speeds in position "B"
and make release of the shutter and push the
button of release (39)
until the lever (40)
will not be switched in a mode of rewind. As a
result of these actions the shutter becomes
completely open and you can easily supervise
loading of film in the camera. 3) Take the coil
in the left hand and charged magazine in the
right, and enter film into a cuts as shown in
Pic.18, while lowering them in jacks in
regular intervals. If magazine does not reach a
place, turn the handle of return rewind. That
film should be laid on cone, if necessary you
can easily correct it by a hand.
4) Put on
the lower cover. 5)
Return the lever of rewind in the former
position, the second curtains should close. If
curtains don't move it's enough an easy contact
of the work head and it will there and then be
closed. 6)
Start the mechanism two times, pressing the
trigger button (39)
after each starting, look whether the mechanism
pulls a film smoothly and whether the head of
return rewind rotates. If the head does not
rotate, it is necessary to check up correctness
of the loading a film in a camera.
7) Install "0"
on scales of the counter near the index.
The second way. It is necessary for you
to make the following steps:
1) Make a
scrap on film and insert its end into the
reception coil (42)
as shown in Pic.17 .
2) Insert a
plastic card no more than 0,4
mm width into a
crack of the camera. 3)
Take the coil in the left hand and charged
magazine in the right hand, and as shown in
Pic.19 enter
film into a cut before a plastic card (film will
not fall up on the board
(41)), in
regular intervals lowering them in jacks. If
magazine does not reach a place turn the handle
of return rewind. After that remove a card and
watch film to be laid on cones.
4) Put on lower
cover. 5)
Start the mechanism two times, pressing the
trigger button, correct the film if
necessary.Look whether the mechanism pulls a
film smoothly and whether the head of return
rewind rotates.If the head does not rotate, it
is necessary to check up correctness of the
loading a film in a camera
6) Install "0"
on scales of the counter near the index.
Malfunction
Reason of malfunction
Way of elimination
While pressing the trigger button smoothly
shutter speeds "B" slips.
1. The brake latch
23
is lifted too highly if to compare with a brake
cam 33.
2. The brake latch 23
has become soiled or covered by corrosion and
has lost mobility (on a vertical)
3. The spring 24
of a brake latch
23
has come off.
1а.
take a brake latch 23
and truncate a core.
2а. take a brake latch 23, grind its
core and grease with watch oil.
3а. Before establishing the come off spring 24
back, it is necessary to correct its form,
having prevented repeated coming off.
Shutter speed ''B" works as 1/20 s.
Long operation or wrong
assembly of the shutter. The result is the
increasing of course of the lever speeds
38,
and the lever in the end of a course touches a
brake latch 23
and allocates it.
At an insignificant contact it is enough to
file a finger 38.
in a place of a contact with a brake latch
23. If the
lever contacts a brake latch
23 strongly,
it is necessary to disassemble shutter for
elimination of malfunction.
Shutter speed ''B". Shutter is left opened, but
on other speeds it works normally.
1.
The brake latch
23 too is low
located if to compare with a brake cam
33.
2. The brake latch 23
shakes on a core.
3. The flat spring 34
has become weak or unscrewed on the part of the
low cover.
1а.
unbend a brake latch 23
to top.
2а. strengthen a brake latch 23,
having unriveted a core in a junction with a
latch.
3а. hold on screws that fix the flat spring
34,
and if it will not help, take off and strengthen
a flat spring
34.
Speeds can not be installed.
The
screw 46
that fixes speeds has been unscrewed.
To screw 46
up till the stop the screw.
Shutter is not started up to the end , the head
of speeds is not established in all positions.
The
brake latch 23
has skipped through an stop
45.
To return a brake latch
23 back on a place.
Shutter works on all speeds as on speed
''B".
The
finger 44
of the lever of speeds
38
has dropped out.
To find a dropped out finger
44 and rivet it
to the lever of speeds
38.
Shutter doesn't work on speeds 1/20, 1/30,
1/40, 1/60 s, and on short speeds works.
The
greasing has become soiled, thickened and dried
up.
Make cleaning and greasing of rubed details of
the shutter.
Curtains of the shutter are left in the started
mode. Shutter is not going down.
The
most probable reason of malfunction is hits of
the bits of the film in cones of the shutter.
Take off the body of the camera and remove from
the shutter bits of the film in all accessible
places.
The film flares by the exstraneous light. The
flare is limited by the size of frame of the
camera.
1. The tape of the
shutter has got stuck and between curtains the
crack was formed.
2. One of tapes has broken or stretched, and between curtains the crack
was formed.
3. Curtains have anguishes or cracks and miss light.
1а.
To untangle tapes it is necessary to take off
the case of the camera and lower protecting from
light shield.
2а. To glue torn off tape or to re-stick stretched one.
3а. Small apertures in curtains can be stuck or painted over by black
varnish. If curtains were wore out, it is
necessary to replace them.
Non-uniform exhibiting of the staff at
endurances 1/250-1/500 s.
As
a result of a non-uniform tension of curtains
during operation of shutter (long
2aPic.16)
curtains has time to catch up the first (short
1aPic.16).
Reduce
a tension of the second curtains or to
strengthen a tension of the first.
P.S.I
have included the most necessary material in
this article for repair of cameras FED, Zorki,
which can be realized by most of amateur
photographers. I purposely have not included in
this article difficult repairs, which only
skilled masters are able to make. My task is to
give information in the compressed and
accessible form to the reader in this article
without blocking up of this material . I hope
this article will be accessible to you and will
help you with the repair of your cameras FED,
Zorki. I'll be very grateful if you specify
mistakes in this article. (March 01th,
