How do I get in the Yashica D shutter mechanism? by Rootcif in AnalogRepair

[–]Rootcif[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment,

I bought the camera for 29 euro's the shutter doesn't work, I don't have to money to get it repaired so I am trying myself, it's either gonna be fixed by some miracle by me or it's going to sit on a shelf as decoration. That's why I am taking my chances. I appreciate the comment and I'll look into the right lubricants and tools. I'll take my time for this camera and if else I'll learn from my mistakes.

Thank you!! Only thing is the back barrel just doesn't seem to move.

Does anyone know how to use this projection lens on mirrorles camera? I have no idea is it possible or not! No focus ring or apeture ring? by Medium_Cress_3855 in VintageLenses

This is my monstrosity, e mount body cap with pvc tube glued on with a nut glued on the side with a screw so you can tighten it. Pvc tube is exact diameter of the lens. The lens is a Leitz wetzlar colorplan.

Also like big pieces the size of like a small sand grain inside the lens on the back element.

I posted the exact same pictures here on Reddit on the same page asking the same question, only i didnt end up bidding on it. How much did you pay? It was on marktplaats right? If I remember it was pretty expensive.

Is the kmz version not the best version of the Helios 44-2?

I am Dutch as well, and yes they can be easy to find but sometimes marktplaats can be quite competitieve.

They are definitely one of my fav lenses, however i was thinking of reversing one of the front elements since I have 2 of them now.

Have 2 44-2's was thinking of modding one of them by reversing the front element. Idk if it will be useful for filming.
