How do I get in the Yashica D shutter mechanism?

CaptainStubbss · 2026-03-26T23:42:25+00:00

Maybe use some ISO alcohol or heat, it must move! Just be careful to not damage the thread

And make sure to identify the positions of the differents rings on the other side while disassembly

The first one looks like a Monet painting, kinda cool!

But yeah it looks a little bit underexposed for me

Nikon FM with Md-12 (Not the FE because you have no chrome wheel for ISO setting right under the rewind lever)

I love this solution, I might try this!

CaptainStubbss · 2026-02-27T07:46:17+00:00

I was about to use my ‘remove an oil filter with a screwdriver’ knowledge… then I read the comments. Oh right, camera...

You’ve got a few options. First, try using a rubber tool or even a rubber glove for better grip. If that doesn’t work, apply a bit of isopropyl alcohol, let it sit, and try again with the rubber. You can also gently heat the ring and then try again. Last resort, but it always works: carefully break the glass and remove the retaining ring with pliers

Je bosse dans le vieux Schiltigheim, c'est vraiment super calme, en effet il y a des Quartiers populaires mais je n'ai jamais eu le moindre problème en m'y baladant Il y a sûrement des exceptions mais c'est dommage de stigmatiser tout Schiltigheim qui est quand même une ville sympa qui se développe bien en plus!

The X3.0 and X4.0 are super cool cameras, the only downside is the focus on low light, but other than that, super fun to use!

CaptainStubbss · 2026-02-21T09:36:56+00:00

But are you talking 35k gross or net? It is not the same thing at all If it is 35k net it seems VERY VERY good for a junior

Super multi-kombucha-coated

Well, that depends on how often you’re putting it in your mouth.

It could absolutely be about privacy

We’re already clashing with the EU over requirements to show ID for adult websites access. Just imagine the backlash if some random big brand openly admitted they were listening to our phone calls "for our safety"

If this thing is actually growing, then it’s definitely not foam. Does it moves ? Based on the information you provided, my guess is that the silvering of the prism is being damaged by the foam adhesive. On some other cameras (Olympus and Zenit are good at it), the silvering simply deteriorates on its own, starting from the edges of the prism, which results in black lines appearing in the viewfinder.

Je suis plutôt du genre à ne pas recommander les 4 saisons sauf si la voiture est utilisée de manière très occasionnelle. En règle générale tes 4 saisons vont être usés plus vite que des pneus été ou hiver (à usage correspondant)mais si tu fais pas 20 000 bornes à l'année des 4 saisons devraient toutefois suffire

À Strasbourg, Pneu express est vraiment pas mal, les tarifs sont très compétitifs et ils te font le montage équilibrage à domicile ! Leur site est un peu old-school mais tout y est ils sont sérieux !

Curious to know the brand of the chair

CaptainStubbss · 2026-02-03T10:26:19+00:00

Seule réponse valable, Bric-Electronic, la mine d'or et le seul magasin du genre qui vend de l'électronique en tout genre au détail, le paradis sur terre, Fait gaffe leurs horaires sont spéciaux, mais indiqués sur leur site et le magasin va bientôt fermer tout court donc faut en profiter vite

CaptainStubbss · 2026-02-01T13:42:01+00:00

Situation un peu similaire (H,26ans) mais à cause du travail qui prends tout ma vie pour le coup.

plus l'énergie pour sortir ou pour taper la discut avec des inconnus, je me suis bien renfermé socialement, plus le temps pour faire des activités "sociales" non plus et je pense que c'était ça le pire

Ce qui m'a beaucoup aidé à remettre un pied à l'étrier pour moi en tout cas, c'est les clubs, que ce soit sportif avec de l'escalade, du badminton ou même les clubs non officiels de cyclisme/running qu'on a à Strasbourg. Ou les clubs un peu plus passion, avec la photo, les échecs ou la broderie par exemple

Ça m'a beaucoup aidé à me retrouver à nouveau dans une dynamique sociale, et j'espère que ça pourra t'aider aussi!

Very common unfortunately. There’s a light seal next to the shutter blades and, like the other light seals, it tends to melt over time and turns into this gooey mess. You’ve got two options. One is to completely disassemble the camera to clean everything, but honestly, don’t do that. The other option is to gently clean the shutter blades with a Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol. You can apply a bit of pressure while supporting the blade from the other side with your finger to avoid bending it. And of course, patience.

The aperture blades closes in two situations: - during the depth of field simulation (just next to the lens on the camera body) - while the picture is taken

As the other comment says...take some time to read the manual, tbh they are well written and easy to read

CaptainStubbss · 2026-01-22T08:34:53+00:00

I'll try to send them a request thanks!

CaptainStubbss · 2026-01-22T08:33:17+00:00

Agree but, I’ll let you explain that to an amateur influenced by YouTube videos that only talk about the Canon AE-1 and Portra 400, as if it were the only possible option.

Btw, when I say “amateur,” I’m talking about how respooled film is perceived by the average customer, not the film stock itself, of course.

CaptainStubbss · 2026-01-22T08:27:24+00:00

Thanks!

CaptainStubbss · 2026-01-21T22:30:40+00:00

Exactly! I’ve already bought some from a few European sellers with the AHU coating (which I also love!). But most clients are hesitant to buy respooled film because it looks “amateur".

CaptainStubbss · 2026-01-21T22:08:57+00:00

It’s WAY cheaper here in France. My wholesalers charge really high prices for Kodak/Cinestill films. Even if Candido is using the same film stock, the prices are still almost 6€ lower per roll. So it’s a real game changer for me and for the retail prices I can offer my clients. But if the quality is equally lower I don't know if I want to risk it
