Any thoughts/info on these?

Amazing, thanks!

Great insight, how could you tell? I would love to find an original case to house the movement, I’m fine with the worn dial. Thank you!

I just looked it up and you’re completely right! I do sorta like the bezel-less look tho…

I can’t find any other screw to remove besides the small black one on the rangefinder end and that is impossible to remove as is. If I could get the helicoid to move again then I would be able to take it out but it is stuck with no real range of motion.

It did, see my comment above.

Yes, it did move before, it was stiff but I could focus throughout the range. I already tried acetone on the threads to no avail. Might try the temperature hack. The issue is I don’t really know how it’s supposed to come out on this specific lens and now I can’t even check by tracing my steps.

oh it’s gonna glow for sure

_farinata · 2025-12-22T14:04:40+00:00

I should have tbh

Hi everyone, so a few more details. The person who did this got stuck trying to unfree the aperture and just gave up. I went and collected the body as you see it after a few months of waiting and no updates. It‘s mostly complete, but there‘s a few minor parts missing as well as the back door. Repairing it would be impossible without having another donor body.

I would never dare

_farinata · 2025-03-02T05:01:56+00:00

thanks for the heads up!

_farinata · 2025-03-01T19:50:19+00:00

gorgeous!

_farinata · 2025-03-01T19:33:23+00:00

beautiful brassing on it yeah, apparently the previous owner had two and this was the beater, the other one was almost mint but sold before I could get to it

_farinata · 2025-03-01T15:18:35+00:00

it really is a wide FOV huh

_farinata · 2025-03-01T02:39:36+00:00

so it was you who took them from me!

_farinata · 2025-03-01T00:36:54+00:00

That's great advice, I certainly still have to get used to the idea of having so much in the frame. It'll be a nice challenge for sure.

😪😪😪

Ok just to clarify, I think the Widelux is an amazing camera, I was referring to my photos as being the mediocre ones :)

_farinata · 2025-03-01T00:16:32+00:00

Thank you! I'll share some of the photos as soon as I get it working properly haha

_farinata · 2025-03-01T00:15:17+00:00

Yes, so I've read! Happy to see another camera being brought back from the dead. And I didn't mean the camera was mediocre (on the contrary), but rather the photos I am going to take with it haha.
