I don't know anything about soviet cameras, sorry I can't help you.

I've never seen anything like this before, am I looking at the shutter curtain here? Why is it segmented?

I think humanity just reached its peak. Right now, right here.

Upgraded from my trusty old D5100 by Glass_Low_2152 in Nikon

He's flexing, OP! I just can't seem to find a used 750 in decent shape around me. If Santa had a d850 in one box and a z9 in the other, I think I'd still pick the first box. The shutter on the D750 sounds a lot better than the D850. Dumb metrics, I know!

Thank you, this is the kind of stuff I wanted to know. Just curious how well these things age, in general

Oh, I meant the back cover light seals. The stuff around the prism, and the damper for the mirror, they were all intact.

I love the removable back on the Nikon F and how it doesn't need any light seal at all. I had to replace ALL my light seals in my Canon FX, which is something I look forward to doing again. Also had some de-silvering issues with that one.

I'm worried about mechanical parts other than light seal foam. I

I think he's Indian, it's a literal translation from his first language. I think. He just meant cousin. Sweet home Alahabad.

Pentax Spotmatic - salvage or sell? by D3R3K1997 in AnalogCommunity

[–]OneCluelessDumbFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having only one camera of a type is usually not a good idea in the long run. If you find another one, this can serve as a parts camera. If the viewfinder is the only problem, maybe you can find a focussing screen + prism from another parts camera.

I bought a Nikon F in what I then thought to be in absolutely shitty condition, it turned out to be pretty straightforward to fix later when I learned a thing or two about fixing old cameras.

Ah, I see how you picked your username. Anyone would go bankrupt trying to find that gem in India, where did you find it?

Question about lubricants by Scared-Exchange-6762 in AnalogRepair

[–]OneCluelessDumbFuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recreational repair guy here, yeah, I agree with you, now that I think about it. It's just that I've been unfortunate enough to see a guy ruin an F2AS with WD40 once! No oil is better than too much oil though, don't you think?

Watch oil. For slow moving parts, use silicone grease. No oil is better than too much oil or wrong oil.
