What a great fix. Love these old rangefinders. A good one for you to do, would be the popular Canonet, selenium cell or cds models.

Really a great restoration! One minor remark. The ring that is disassembled at 1:05 you re-assemble in 19:18 in a 180deg turned position. That ring is intended to demped the spring loaded automatic aperture operation. Actually I don't know if it has an effect, but I always take notice to put in the right position.

Have my grandfathers old Asahi Pentax AP that tore a shutter ribbon and I have been trying to take it apart and always got stock at the mirror box now I finally see how to remove it because of this video. Maybe I can repair it now.

I loved the stop-motion at the end!

Thank you for preserving so much camera repair knowledge!! 🙏🏼❤️ another fantastic video

Amazing how you do this. I recently picked up a Miranda Sensomatic and wonder if you have ever repaired one? And make video about it.

💪👏

I’ve owned many slr cameras in the past but didn’t realise how incredibly complex they were internally. This undoubtedly the most skillful video I have ever watched. Thankyou.

1st class restoration, thankyou.

I did my XD-11 almost a year ago, bought on e-Bay spares or repair, not working, with hanging mirror and no shutter release. (It cost me £23 with a 135mm F1:1.35 lens also faulty, Aperture stuck which I repaired in about 30 minutes. Full shutter CLA it was the mirror release arm sticky grease causing mirror to stick and the shutter just needed a clean same as yours. When I ran a test roll the film was very overexposed, though shutter speeds were spot on. The cause was the ASA pot wiper had been misconnected on the flexiboard, and I had rewired according to my pre-strip photos. I downloaded the service manual and checked the wiring and found the wiper had been wrongly connected by a previous repair attempt gone wrong. I'm happy to say after a 25 hour repair and fault correction process I have a beautiful example of a camera I couldn't afford while working for Minolta service agents Photopia, in the UK when this camera was in production in the late '70's early '80's. Superb video, professional and highly competent repair skills, a pleasure to watch. Liked and Subbed, thank you.

What are all the tools needed to repair most cameras? Or at least the more important ones.

It's amazing! Seeing the inside of my favorite lens is such an exhilarating experience. Thank you!

I am entertained 😂

Hey! Could you give me link to buy the lens cleaning and fingerprint and dust cleaning solution at around 12:30

Stupidest video on the entire internet.It was clearly meant to be funny, but just isn't.

brilliant parody on many hilarious levels. Well done!

lol

Good video! And the first part was awesome!

Ahahahahahahha!!! Thanks!!!

This is pretty hilarious. Well done!

I guess is the script and voice the AI? sounds pretty good, no mistakes, good punctuation and orthography.

Oh nice, I just discovered this TH-cam chanel! I hope you will do a video on a Pancolar 50/1.8 zebra one day, as I need to fix mine and I can't do it myself :)

Really good. I wish I had a tenth of your dexterity. While I could do very well on my own with dismantling, it is in reassembling that I would never succeed. I would like to see from you the catering or even the simplest maintenance of an Olympus OM-1

Vers cool vidéo. Thanks for sharing this 😊

What kind of glue did you use for the leatherette? Pentax LX overhaul please?

It might be too much to ask, but will you also upload some videos without music? Basically 2 versions : with music and no music. Some of us like to hear the pure and satisfying sounds of you just fixing and tinkering with the lens and camera. Just a suggestion tho :)

Wow. Amazing job!

Would you consider flocking one of those lenses? Or maybe some other kind of soft upgrade.

Incredible!! Thank you again for such a helpful video. Could you do a NIKKOR 50mm restoration video if one ever comes your way??

I should send you mine 😭😫

great video!

So glad i stumbled onto your channel, keep up the amazing work! A question though, the tool that sort of resembles two screwdrivers attached to a bar that tightens/loosens the rings in the lens (at 3:11 for example) - what is this called? Thanks!

So cool!! Make me want to try and restore and old lens, but I'm sure its not a easy as you make it look

I loved all about this video!!! The sexy music, old Pentax lenses, please do more of these they're excellent tutorials too!

Incredible!! Love your restoration videos - helps us new repairmen/women out a lot!

This is actually the -M variant, which came out 2 years later and slightly more compact than the non -M variant of Pentax. This is also my favorite vintage lens, I appreciate your time and effort to restore it.

Sir I have an AE-1Program with the shutter issue. How much would you charge to repair it? 🙏🏻

do yashica electro 35 please

This is the camera restoration content that I have been looking for. because restoration content like this is very rare on TH-cam

Beauty😃

Absolutely incredible!! You are preserving so much knowledge. I can’t thank you enough. Just starting to get into film repair and its videos like these that give me confidence (and a lot of direction, haha.) If you have some time… What kind of clear grease do you use? Is it just a generic synthetic? How do you know what temperature to set the ultrasonic cleaner at? What solution do you drop into the water before putting gears into ultrasonic cleaner? Thank you again! You deserve millions of subs.

Do I have to take everything off to repair the aperture blades ?

I just love your channel. I discovered my passion for film cameras about 2-3 years ago. It just followed naturally from buying vintage lenses for my digital fuji. I mostly shot film now. Go figure 😂 I've learnt to fix old cameras from youtube and service manuals. I truly hope to see more cameras getting fixed. Maybe an Edixa mat? I got 5, and I managed to fix none LOL

👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for this awesome video, your skills are absolutely wonderful 👍🏻👍🏻

i have an MX and it just works, all mechanical. Also bought more simple and cheaper Ricoh XR500 just in case, which is also mechanical.

Fascinating! How do you recall which part goes where? There are so many! 😮

I once owned one from new. Excellent engineering with a quiet shutter. Moved on to the Olympus OM2n. Another amazing camera. Those were the days. I think more care and thought went into taking a picture then as with a roll of only 36 exposures, every shot had to count and carelessness cost money! Great video. Many thanks.

I just watched your canon AE1 video and was hoping that one day you would make a video about a Pentax me super. That was fast! although the me "super" has some extra components, such as the "pneumatic shock absorber". Did you enjoy refreshing this camera? Disassembling it is a fun and fairly easy process.

Can I contact you about getting a canon ae-1 deep cleaning and restoration? Do you also offer services?

Amazing work! Thanks for sharing.
