Vintage Zenit Camera … shutter stuck!?

I have a Zenith camera, approximately 50 years of age. I tried to find out which model it is, but can not find any pictures that look the same. I think it is around 1953-1958. However, I do not think it with the original lens I'ts got a prize as BRussells "1958 37 mm" is again open, so loads of films on the back. The shutter seems to have stuck, and it will not move at all and the wind, usually in the arm to move from time to time. There is a quiet click when you press the i button to take a picture. The shutter only very slightly shaken, I can not open, only Permantly closed. I live in the UK and was wondering if anyone out there know what might be wrong in any place and know you can repairing vintage cameras. I really want this fixed and wearable camera, was sentimental because my uncle gave me. Thanks for any help!

DO NOT WD40 place anywhere near the camera !!!!!!! It is totally wrong to use lubricant. After establishing the mechanism for the advancement of film or models old SLR shutter cocking are like dominoes, pressing the shutter button starts a chain of events. The first thing after you press the shutter is the mirror stands to one side, the mirror locking mechanism trips the lens aperture down, it trips the first curtain travel of the timer (if mechanical) that triggers the second curtain, which restores the mirror. As I just like dominoes. Its a chain of events that stops the chain is where his problem. If the mirror does not move (easily checked by simply unscrew the lens), probably due to its light seals have become a 'goo' and hit close. This is most likely that the cause of all their problems, trying to lift the mirror slightly upward (do not touch the mirror are bright silver surface coating and damage easily leading to an expensive repair). If the mechanism completes the sequence that I found the flaw, new light seals required, which is a common and easy to repair, its likely that the sequence stops and downstream. gunky sometimes the curtains (which are silk rubber) have been "too, there are repair kits out there, but is a much more surgical understand fully what it means to strip the camera down and recalibrate as of rebuilding, a job for a professional. If its just light seals need to be replaced then its simple repair, I have mine from Jon Goodman in Texas, is on eBay and has a website, bloke to deal with large. Heres Your eBay link – The http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/The-Truth-About-Camera-Light-Seal-Foam-Please-Read_W0QQitemZ110339949900QQihZ001QQcategoryZ30038QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is a pleasure to deal with, their materials are the best there is (usual disclaimer.) You also need some alcohol to burn and some lighter fluid (liquid lighters dissolves the old light seals and makes them easier to remove. Be very sparing even if you do not want this filth everywhere, especially in the mirror), some buds cotton and a roll of kitchen paper towels and you're going. Jon games come with instructions and a link to your site has specific information for the cameras. Chris

Making a Style Statement with vintage aviator Sunglasses

Make your own fashion style statement with vintage aviator sunglasses. You will surely turn heads and grab eyeballs with these new and never out of style sunglasses.

Wondering what vintage aviators are? The name is self explanatory. These shades were originally used by aviators when they are on duty. Typical of their job, these shades are hardy and designed to keep strong currents and wind out of the wearer’s eyes. The aviator sunglasses are dark colored to give the wearer ample protection from glaring light. Originally, these sunglasses were available with military gear only. These days, of course, aviator sunglasses have become a widely popular fashion statement.

Vintage aviator sunglasses were first made by Ray-Ban in 1932 for pilots. So, don’t be surprised by the typical ‘Ray-Ban’ look of these sunglasses. Their drooping teardrop shape is unique to vintage aviator sunglasses. Indeed, vintage aviator sunglasses have become an iconic fixture of eye wear not only for decades but even for a century!

Vintage aviators were very popular in the 70’s and 80’s and they are back in a big way. Your fashion statement is reflective of your own personality, your whims, your caprices and even your aspirations. Utilizing vintage aviator sunglasses to show off your own style simply indicates the boldness of your perception when it comes to fashion as you choose the undying style of sunglasses that have been a fashion fixture for several decades now and seem to be growing in fashion stature as years and styles go by.

You can make your presence felt with any of the brightly colored summer frames that vintage aviator sunglasses come in, starting from blue, yellow and shallow red to full metallic jacket frames or mirrored glasses.

Thus, making your own fashion statement using vintage aviator sunglasses is a truly imaginative way of showing the world your true colors and personality with a touch of history to boot. For men, donning dark brown colored leather jackets with loose khaki slacks would be a great way to show off with your vintage aviator sunglasses. For women, a trimly tailored trench coat to show off their hidden curves plus scarves around their necks will do well with any color of vintage aviator sunglasses. These kinds of fashion statements will surely draw the attention of men and women on the sidewalks and cafes you pass by.

It is suggested however, that when you do attempt to stamp your own style in fashion with these vintage aviator sunglasses, try to consult some fashion magazines first where models are in different moods and clothing wearing different kinds of vintage aviator sunglasses. Vintage aviator sunglasses are not your regular sunglasses and not everyone can carry them off with style. You need the right shade, the perfect clothing and the right accessories if you want to look dashing in them. Going through magazines will enable you to have an idea as to what kind of style of wardrobe or clothing you need to choose to go with these special sunglasses.
