Thanks, guys. I have had pretty good luck with J8's & J12's. A few years back, Brian Sweeney reset a J8 to ltm standards to use on a Bessa R2A. That worked out well. I know the Zorki 3 has a rep for problems, but this one has been gone thru by E. Smolov, and the J8 was CLA'd by B. Sweeney. Brian said that it had the original Zeiss glass, which the Russians used until they ran out. It is a stunner to look at, the nicest FSU that I have seen. Just don't use the slow speeds!
I'll post a shot of it soon.
