I bought a Voightlander Brilliant with 1-300th Compur & 75mm Skopar lens.
The shutter needs a CLA because it only seems to fire at a fast speed, the speed setting makes no difference. The lenses could also do with a clean internally.
I am well aware that the cost of said service will probably exceed the value of the camera.
Having said that, they are wonderfully compact cameras.
If the shutter is knackered perhaps I could make a Frankenstein camera with a 75mm lens in shutter from another maker.
Has anyone any ideas about UK repairers or offers of alternative 75mm lenses? _________________ Leica IIIa c/w 50/3.5 Elmar and several Soviet lenses: J12, J8, Ind 22 & Ind 61LD
