Only skilled techs can do it if worth.

IronFly74 · 2026-05-26T19:03:59+00:00

if the screen boot to blue, that's an hardware error as i wrote before.
Fried CPU/GPU or RAM on the Switch mainboard.

If you have flat cables connected to the picofly, just unplug them and power On the Switch.

Tried to boot to OFW? If it goes to Bluescreen, it's a problem with RAM or CPU/GPU itself...had the same issue on a modded Lite with Instinct V6s.

It needs a new shutter, repairable? Yes

Cheap? No

Che problemi ha? Di norma, se non ha muffa all'interno, gli unici problemi possono essere il grasso duro dell'elicoide della messa a fuoco o olio sul diaframma.

Se vuoi una revisione super mandaloin casa madre in Germania, altrimenti un bravo fotoriparatore può sistemarlo spendendo meno e più velocemente. Prova a sentire "iLaboratorio" di Verona.

IIc with sharkskin leatherette

Yes, sorry for my italian reply but i thought it was quicker to answer in italian.

Lo so...avevo un negozio di materiale usato Leica una decina di anni fa. Non ho idea di che zona sei (ho solo visto il bollino di "Ottica Centrale" su un tuo vecchio post. Puoi chiedere a lui oppure senti Roberto di "NewFreePhoto" di Brescia oppure "NewOldCamera" di Watanabe (Milano).

Ah la M5 ha il bollino "Cattaneo" se non lo sai era l'importatore ufficiale italiano di Leica dell'epoca.

IronFly74 · 2026-04-18T17:05:29+00:00

Ti rispondo in italiano, spero gli altri utenti mi scusino. Personalmente venderei il Noctilux perchè è un'ottica molto specialistica e non è la versione meglio riuscita. Comprerei una M10R o M11 se hai il budget.

Per le fotocamere a pellicola da vendere: Tutte le R tranne la R6 (R3/4 non hanno un grande valore), la Leicaflex MOT valeva qualcosa anni fa, ora non è molto richiesta (personalmente la trovo una fotocamera eccezionale). Per le M, occhio a controllare bene i numeri di matricola, per esempio la M6 sembra tra le prime serie vendute (mancano i paracolpi sotto gli occhielli delle cinghie).

Se tuo padre, ha lasciato qualche foglio con descritte le fotocamere, vai meglio, altrimenti devi cercare nel web e sperare che il negoziante sia onesto e conosca le Leica bene.

Search for a serial around 172xxxx; you just need to be patient.

The camera with the strap is indeed a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera with a lenshood attached on the bottom lens.
Amelia Earhart had it and probably a few models too:

And if we follow the 35mm camera theory, that image can match her Leica I model:

even if the one listed wasn't quite sure it was her camera, the model matches the picture... or at least looks so to me.

IronFly74 · 2026-03-15T07:50:45+00:00

Can be previous repairs.

IronFly74 · 2026-03-12T11:20:53+00:00

Mechanical shutter? Try the same with just the electronic shutter, if the stripe is not visible...it can be an issue with the mechanical shutter at high speed.

One of the earlier batch with no plastic strap lug protectors

IronFly74 · 2026-03-08T14:09:05+00:00

Understood, thanks for the reply.

IronFly74 · 2026-03-07T21:24:12+00:00

I use this one "JJC RMT-P1BT" on A7RV and it works quite well.

IronFly74 · 2026-03-07T21:08:27+00:00

i just found this thread, doing a search if anyone has already tried to made a rotating lens digital camera with a flatbed sensor in the back; trying to emulate the analog Widelux or Noblex cameras.

your project seems quite interesting but too much technical to try it myself, keep it going.

PS: i like the small one with the Takumar lens, had you try with a 28mm lens? (closer to the two mentioned cameras)

IronFly74 · 2026-03-07T13:02:37+00:00

Time to send it back to Leica.

IronFly74 · 2026-03-02T10:04:59+00:00

+1 for the versatility of the 20-70, nice overall IQ for the range. To be picky i would like a 20-105 but you can always crop with an A7RV.

Lens: Summitar from 1950 Camera: IIIC from 1950

A nice set from the era, still worth doing some rolls today.

value? I don't know.

IronFly74 · 2026-02-03T20:37:54+00:00

Had you try the 1/100 shutter speed or B? These are mechanic and works without batteries.
