When you buy one thing but receive something else.

So I bought a FED 3 (type b) for £40 but when I opened the parcel what do I find?

A Zorki 4

I have contacted the seller but TBH I'd be rather happy to keep this camera, it's in excellent condition and a Zorki was on my list anyway. Well a 4K but this will do nicely.

It's the even rarer variant for the Australasian market

Well looks like I've busted it already [emoji21]

I don't remember changing the shutter before winding on but I must have as can no longer change the shutter speed. The sail will not lift up.

Unless it's something else?

Thanks Peter, that didn't help though. My issue is I cannot lift the dial to change the shutter speed. The dial still moves when I press the shutter.
