I just bought a 1977 breech lock 50mm 1.4 fd just like this. The blades won't work with the adaptor. and the glass has slight fungus. The lens came in the original box and looks new. I also have the nfd version of the lens dated 1981 and it works great and has really nice color and sharpness. I just can't leave the ssc without trying to fix it. Thanks for this video !

Is this Radioactive Thorium glass?

Excellent study on the top end of this camera

any idea how to remove front lenspack if it stuck? mine was never removed from factory and does not go by hand. just wanted to clean up dust between them

Thank You. Super helpful

hi! 1:42 Can you tell me what that is? I can't see it because it's out of focus. It looks like a bead, right?

Hi really good video on dismantling ISO. I have the Zenit TTL camera can you help to show me how to put the ISO mechanism back together please. There is a bearing and a spring I can’t see where they need to go. Would you know anything about the TTL body please?

Hi

Hey , just wanted to say thanks for this vid. Got me through relubing mine! Even managed to do it without removing the alignment key. Cheers.

Which is the song? Shazam is not founding it and can not found in Google writing the lyrics

Genius with the rubber band..

That awful “music” has got to go.....

I have a big problem, I can't open the first ring 😢

If you have a stuck winding dial, like the one on my camera. Then, you can put the camera securely in a padded vice and use a pin or O-ring pick and a hammer to gently persuade it to twist clockwise. If you took apart the bottom like me, you would have to wedge the gear with a small screwdriver. Good luck. It will take more force than you are comfortable with, but the camera will be fine the gears are metal.

How did you twist the front off? I just cant get mine twisted free.

Hi, very good vid I was wondering what kind of screwdriver you're using? Some people said it must be a JIS screwdriver? Could you please tell me what screwdriver you use and if it possible where to buy it online. Keep up sharing your knowledge ❤. Thanks

Thank you for this interesting video , great work .

Thank you for the video, but I have already lubricated, refurbed and polished my Helios-40, looks fabulous! Also I cleaned and lub aperture ring, had a lot of fan with it)) Also ive made custom fine tuning spacer ring to have infinity focus. Although I have an issue: 2 tiny pieces of dust inside a lens block, should it bother me or not since they have no influence on photo?

Hey man, I have the canon a-1 camera and I'm wondering if you know how to replace the sprocket that advances the film forward?? Can't see to find any video on it.

Really helpful! Thanks ❤

Thank you for this!

What lubricant did you use?

You like to see to take the other part apart lol

My doubt: who is the best? Canon FD 50 or the 9th?

C'est un lubrifiant pour bicyclette?!

Bien travail! Excuse moi, mais je n'ai vu quelle grasse tu utilises?

Dude…. I have a beautiful 55mm 1.8 super multi coated but the range finder is loose and spins freely, it’s still useable but I’d like it to work as intended. This looks like I have to do a complete deconstruction just to analyze the issue, and I’m not even sure if I’m skilled enough to analyze the issue let alone take it apart. Want to trade? Can I mail it to you? Or better to cut losses and but another and hope it’s as good as the one I have? Maybe just ignore the range finder issue and love the Takumar I have?

I was able to disassemble my industar 50-2 lens following this video, however, when i put it back together, together, it was a different lens, it couldnt focus properly anymore. I wish there was a voice over instead of just video, so as to warn us what to look out for. I couldnt put it back together in a way that it is working properly again. Not for newbie diy'ers

Thanks for the helpful video! One of the few really useful ones.

The lower light of my Lightmeter is always on… I’m using 2x LR43 batteries 1.5V.. is there a way to fix this?

Is there a way to make it a fully functional manual lens? Have you considered using a separately bought diaphram/aperture control off Ebay or elsewhere?

Learning French repairing cameras :D Thanks!

excelente , metodico y sin egoisma, gracias por tu conocimiento y tiempo

the rubberband lesncap trick is so good thank you!

You have to mark the helical to get the focus right

Thanks for your video, informative. I used it to disassemble the iso dial (the crank and the top plates, to the same stage that you did on this video). Doing that i realiserad that my iso dial is probably put together 180 degrees wrong. when i set my iso to 400, as you did, the little "stop" (the metal one when all the top plates is gone) thing points at 11 a clock not at 5 a clock as on your camera. This means that i need to disassemble it even more and i don't have a qlue on how to do that, and I cant seem to find any instructions online to help me. Any ideas on how to do this? Or do you know any sours of information/instructions online describing this? /regards

What is this tool which you use in 2:54 to unscrew left-threaded screw on frame counter?

my shutter speed dial has come off and im not sure what the default setting is. can anyone help?

Hi Didier. I have such a lens. Just bought it. Although it looks pretty ok from the outside it can not focus. The ring turns, but the picture is never sharp. I suppose it has been assembled in a bad way, maybe... Could I please hire you to repair the lens? Would that make sense? kind regards and Thank you for considering

Hey what kind of tool do you use to open the thumb dial at 2:28? :)

Bonjour à toi Didier, merci pour tes contenus, j'ai une question comment s'appelle le sorte de spanner circulaire rouge que vous utiliser? Merci pour votre réponse

What's the thing inside the ISO dial, that you pick up with the screw magnet?

Как я понял, какое масло использовалось для смазки - секрет! Для всех секрет).

Hello, thanks for the very useful video! Do you happen to have a service manual for it?
