- Olympus ACE was introduced in 1958. It is a rangefinder style 35 mm format film camera. One thing to note is it can change lenses. But there are total of only four lenses were designed for the Ace. 35mm f2.8, 45mm f2.8, 80mm f4 and 80mm f5.6 I think. It used copal leaf shutter which can be fired up to 1/500s shutter speed.
I tired by best for this video. Hope you enjoy and get useful information from video. Thanks. Oh.. don't forget to sub :)

I loved the stop-motion at the end!
Thank you for preserving so much camera repair knowledge!! 🙏🏼❤️ another fantastic video
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.
what grease are you using?
Silicone lens grease of two type, smooth and normal friction.
Hello there, love your video, and came looking for help. I just got an Olympus Ace myself, and it was working recently until a couple days ago. The advance lever works fine, the counter works fine, but the shutter button seems to have stopped. It moves up and down, but when I move the lever it doesn't cuck the shutter mechanism, just advances the counter. Could you help me in any way? Any advice will be more than welcome, or if I could contact you I would really appreciate it.
I think you need to check Copal Shutter mechanism below the front lens unit. Sometime the main cocking rod inside the shutter unit stuck due to dust or rust and could not release the shutter. You don't need to disassembly the whole camera, just remove the front lens unit and you can access the main shutter mechanism.
@@VintageResurrection Just yesterday I dared open it following your video. After 3 hours of opening and watching, I got to the problem: One of the gears in the top part, right under the frame counter, the one responsible for ccking the shutter, stopped engaging the lever mechanism. It was a simple matter of moving the gear into the right position again, cleaning a little bit and greasing the area slightly. Worked like a charm! Unfortunately, the frame counter spring missaligned and now it's not coming back to the reset position. Fix for today, but the shutter working is a Win for me, thanks to your video! I'll update on the frame counter as soon as I open it again 👌🏻
