Everything you say about the Super-B’s beauty and quality is spot-on. But the lubricant for its unusual double-leaf shutter had a tendency to stiffen with age. Mine did, and I tried an equally unusual way to clean the gummed mechanisms WITHIN the camera. The shutter still works 1.5 years later, and the method is described in this 35mmc article-- 35mmc.com/24/01/2024/shoot… -- along with a discovery about the camera’s ability to take super-macros without using Zeiss-Ikon’s expensive macro lens. I hope the article (and its two following installments) prove helpful and interesting!
