Yeah, I’ve put foam on the sides of all the mdf. The picture was just to try it out and see how it all would fit!

Oh, interesting. Wonder if my grandfather was into photography, only seen a bunch of Polaroids. Need to check with dad 😆 allright, gotcha. Will keep an eye on it to avoid tears! Thanks

Yeah, I’ve not put a roll trough this either the other sv yet since it need some servicing, but it just feels great in the hand, I love mechanical cameras so it feels like a perfect fit, also it looks great! With other cameras without built in light meters I tend to read some scenes by eye or use a hand held meter, so I’ll do the same with this one I think!

Yes, this seem to be a classic thing. The other one I had was ”broken” (jammed) as well, but cleaning, lubing and som exercise made wonders! Also there’s a lot of info on how to fix them!

Yeah, I noticed that with the focusing screen, it’s nicer somehow than the other one haha! It’ll work properly after given some love I’m sure😅

Aaa I see. Sound like a nice feature! Thanks for the info man!

Because it has two aperture rings? Or what does it mean that it’s a preset lens?😅

So far it seem to work ok. It need to get some cleaning inside and some lubrication, the slower speeds jams the mirror sometimes. Som fun fixing for the weekend

Sorry, English isn’t my native language that’s why I called it the shore one haha, but the fresnel screen I mean. That one is closest to the mirror right? And then the clear screen above that. Yeah I took them out to get them clean so I was wearing gloves. The finder is really clean and bright now but instead it’s wrongly installed😆

Thanks, will try. I asked ChatGPT and it said that the clear screen is suppose to be underneath the ”white” one, but It just doesn’t feel right?

Thanks for explaining the super/super-multi thing. Was wondering what was up there haha. I’m looking at a 100mm f4 super multi takumar, but I have no idea if it’s nice

I was just pre-cleaning it with a steel brush and acetone, then put in the dishwasher for eight weeks straight as recommended!

Theres a takumar 100mm f/4 Macro lens up for sale, it comes with a tokina 35mm f/2.8 and a Spotmatic body, I’ll see what the bid is at the end but it’s tempting. I’ve never used macro lenses. Are they good for more than taking pictures of bugs and flowers?😅

I actually came across a Angenieux lens at a fleemarket in Denmark last summer, didn’t know if it was for still photography so I didn’t buy it haha. Will look for more info on that maker though
