| Hello:
Thank you for the great reference.
I have a Jupiter 8 lens variant which is
not in your list.
It is a late PT3110 from a Zorki 4k with
7 digit serial number 7633192. The name
marking is in Cyrillic characters, scale
markings are in green. There is no
"MADE IN USSR" markings on body.
I can send you a photo if you like.

| The Fotokor-1 are built for a very
robust usage. It's true,that they are
not totally at the state of the best
german cameras. Indeed - my two Fotokors
were more or less working, when I got
them, while they were in a very sad
looking outer state. I've seen famous
german cameras, which were in a much
better looking state - but with totally
stuck mechanics.
But the bellows of the Fotokor is of a
pretty formidable hardiness. One of them
was grey, white and totally moldy,
really a health risk in that state. I
thought of throwing him away, but gave
him a chance. At first I washed the
leather side intensively under the water
tap, dried him, washed the inner side
somewhat less aggressive, dried it - it
was still smelling moldy. After
appending 30% vinegar and drying this
smell was gone, and then I used a lot of
leather care.
The bellows is surviving, he's black
without further coloring, is in a very
good fashion, and has obviously no light
leak.
Believe it or not - I was also not
believing such a success before this
crazy procedure. I wouldn't dare to
append 5% of such a procedure on another
bellows.
I've seen some bellows, for which I had
to use even leather oil with ultralarge
care just to avoid further damage.

| Im owning two Fotokor-1, a PK0245(9150**
with Ortagoz 9667**) and a PK0235(6640**
with Ortagoz 6744**). The stops on both
were bad, so I wanted to repare them and
had less success:
Some blades were broken, and one
shutterblade of the 245 also - the very
unusual material for them is celluloid -
like non safety films - tending to be
brittle and to selfignition increasingly
with the years. Burning match - parts
are immediately burned down.
Too, the GOMZ shutter housing / lens
mounts are internally very different for
the two lenses (looks like war
restrictions for the 245) - housings are
very different to open. The 6744** with
4 housing threads, the 9667** 3).
You should store the Fotokor at 30°C or
lower, avoid it to put them in a fire
dangerous area! |

| When You get a old camera, I hope, You
check, if there should be an old film in
it, and get it processed!
Just take a look at my website - the
site is ONLY in danish - I'm sorry... |

| Very nice webpage!
I have got a Vilia Auto from my mom. She
bought it in Moscow in 1980. After some
repairs, it is still in perfect shape. I
love it! |
