I just "bought" (having trouble getting the guy to send me an invoice with the correct shipping amount) the Zenitar in USA, but I live here.
BTW, my film transport just locked on my ME Super. I thought the camera wasn't working at all. So I managed in the dark to wind the film till it stripped off the sprockets. Thought I had it all, but the film had broken inside leaving about 5 frames around the take-up reel. Does anyone know why this happens? Happened with an MX once as well.
