Your channel is the best and has helped me a lot. I was always scared about putting my hands on a camera that expensive, but with your help i can fix my rangefinder wich should be adjusted in the "portrait distance". I always worked with the numbers on the lenses, not so good in portrais-mode! Greetings from Vienna to Denmark
Dear Kenneth, thank you for this video, it was really fantastic and well prepared. I only wish I had seen this a few months ago before I did the adjustment! Thank you!
How hard is it to move the vertical adjustment wheel? I have removed the hot shoe cover, but the wheel doesn't seem like it wants to spin. If I try, it just deflects the entire assembly.
I have a 35mm FD f2, and the rear cap get incredibly stuck. I've carved away most it with side cutters, at this point there is just a thin plastic ring left, and I am not sure how to approach it next if you have any advice.
Dear Kenneth, I successfully followed your manual to remove the XPan top plate. I discovered that the mode selector is worn out. do you know where I can find a good mode selector for the xpan? Kind regards, Temmerman Patrick Belgium.
Thanks Patrick Sorry, but I have no idea where to find spare parts for the Xpan. I was also looking for a service manual or a parts manual, but there is nothing (O) about that camera. Maybe you will need to buy a worn out donor camera and takes the part from that.
