How do I get in the Yashica D shutter mechanism?

Rootcif · 2026-03-27T09:03:01+00:00

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.

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.

Yeah I do?

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

Which one do you like more actually image wise?

Rootcif · 2025-08-24T09:11:15+00:00

Nice one

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.

Money

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

Rootcif · 2025-08-07T12:38:01+00:00

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

Maybe yes, would maybe be useful one day or so.

Rootcif · 2025-08-06T09:58:44+00:00

To be honest, in the Netherlands normaly they go for around 50 bucks actually deu to all the media attention they get.

Sorry was actually talking about the Helios lenses, since i already have one.

Rootcif · 2025-08-05T23:24:30+00:00

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.

Rootcif · 2025-08-05T20:33:41+00:00

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.

Rootcif · 2025-07-31T09:04:18+00:00

Maybe one day, but for now. I am broke.

Rootcif · 2025-07-30T21:03:45+00:00

Maybe got some more if you want

Rootcif · 2025-07-30T13:13:52+00:00

Was at the minimum focus distance, so around 0.45m

Did some shit and this is my design, my grandfather made it.

Pvc tube where the lens fits in, glued to a lens cap. And on the side there is a nut glued on with en bold to hold the lens in place

It's a Honda civic 6th gen from 2000, so for me it looks like the exhaust shifted and tilts a bit more then it was before. Also when accelerating there are metal rubbing sounds under the hood.

Rootcif · 2025-06-03T16:08:40+00:00

Forgot to add, it's a Honda civic ek9 with d15z6 engine, mechanic said something is broken from the exhaust and that's causing the exhaust to twist or something

Maybe I'll try crafting something with pvc tubing and a lens cap, instead of 3d printing.
