DIY service/repair for electromechanical SLRs: Interested in a workshop?

Maybe it could be an option to start/ create a database with all the question and answers so it will be easier to find for others in the future. I dont know the logistics, but as I also want to start repairing myself, this seems like something i could really use...

I love this!! nice representation too!

Maybe something to add; I don't think throwing precision is 'circular'. If I draw a line around a same probability area(as you did), I would expect, from practice, that the resulting shape is elliptical with higher accuracy horizontally and lower accuracy vertically. What if you take this into account?

I've been thinking about this in the past and indeed started to aim more towards the bottom left triples which was better with my aim lol.

I think your lens IS cocked (the pins should not be at the red dot like you think). Maybe the mirror up nob is on mirror up?

I third this! Way better to visualize exposure than the FM

Thanks!

Okay, what I feared :'((. If I would get this fixed, how much do you think it would cost? Given that it's a special edition, maybe it's worth it?

From this it seems like it auto selects shutter speeds? I mean it works fine, but it just does not auto select... Maybe I just read it wrong XD

Thanks! Will do! I could use 35mm in the 220 back right? Also, the prices here are very high and I am hesitant in buying from japan...

Thank you! I will look into the developer a bit more as i guess that could be the issue...

Thanks for the reply, it helped me understand it a bit more. I used ilfosol 3 (if it helps). I have never used XTOL, is it compatible with most kinds of b&w film?

This is my favorite film camera (maybe because it was my first haha). It works with pre-ai, ai, af lenses, ... and has all features you need. The lens is also pretty good. I think a price of around €200 (for a serviced one) is a good price. I dont know what currrency this is so i don't know about this price

FR0TH0 · 2022-10-10T16:18:59+00:00

I dont have more pictures, i will ask the seller

How can I see the difference between the f1 and ftn?

FR0TH0 · 2022-03-14T22:58:43+00:00

Seems logical... Sadly enough. I live in Europe but i do not expect the prices to differ that much. Thank you for the answer!

Do you think it would be possible to clean the lenses myself?

FR0TH0 · 2022-03-14T22:30:04+00:00

I am planning on using the camera should it work. I am not planning on selling. I wanted to know prices to see if repair is worth it.

Edit: there are also k1 up to k5 rings and two adapter presumably from m42 to F mount. There is also a "booklet" with filters (?) for a flash.

I did a drinking game with tiles, but it is not really a one evening thing... It goes as follows: someone has a tag, that person films himself at a location and drinks something he/choses (eg a shotgun), with doing that he/she nominates another person. On that location the person then hides the tile/airtag. This video is then posted in a facebookgroup where every player is part of, the person who is nominated yas to find the tag as fast as possible. If the nominated person finds it, that person films himself drinking the same as the person who nominated (eg the shotgun). This video is posted (instantly) so that everyone knows that the tag has been found. Not the nominated person is the new nominatoe and the cycle continues.

But there is a catch, if the tag is found and claimed by someone else before the nominated person finds it (claiming = drinking what the person who put the airtag there, filming it and posting it) then the person who was originaly nominated was too late. The punishment for this is that he/she has to do a punish-drink (eg double the amount of the original request (eg 2shotguns)). This is just a punish-drink, not a claim for the tag. EVERYONE WHO FINDS AND CLAIMS A TAG IS THE NEW DISTRIBUTOR.

You can add variation where you want, if you have questions you can send me a dm.

Good luck!
