I'm surprised that Frank recommended that. He's a member of the Learn Camera Repair group on Facebook, and he discourages that in the group. The problem is that you're just moving the gunk elsewhere in the camera, and leaving parts with no lubricant, which causes increased wear.

Its still available.

I'm selling it because i need the money; plus I'm nearly deaf, so a guitar is of no use to me. :(

For sale is a beautiful Canadian-made Leica M4-2. Except for a small piece of Vulcanite missing under the lens mount, it is almost new looking. Functionally it is flawless. Shutter speeds are correct, the rangefinder is aligned and accurate, and the finder has no fungus, haze, or scratches...

Leica 90mm Summarit-M with original box, original cloth storage bag, original Leica lens hood and the lens hood's dedicated front cap and box. Also includes the often-missing front ring on the lens (it has to be unscrewed to fit the hood) and the original Leica rear cap. I do not have the front...

Nice. Is the grip rubber like the originals?

I use my Surface Pro tablet for that; it has a good screen that is, like most people's monitors, too bright. It gives a good view of what an average non-photographer's monitor will show.

NEC discontinued the Spectraview line a couple years ago. I am as disappointed as you are; they were incredibly good and a lot less expensive than the Eizo Coloredge screens. I had to replace my old Spectraview, the fourth one I have owned, last year. I ended up with a Benq; it works well and it...

You didn't read carefully. I actually DO use a calibrated screen, one made for graphics work that is internally calibrated and covers the Adobe RGB color space. My reason for using it is not to ensure other people see my images correctly, because it wouldn't, since I cannot control their...

I don't use a good self-calibrating graphics monitor so my pictures will look good on random people's monitors. I do it so when they buy. print, the print will match the editing I did on my screen.

When its broken and there are no replacement parts available, it becomes junk. I drive a $50,000 Cadillac; it was a VERY nice car when it was new, and it is still a nice car, but eventually it will wear out, will start to rust, will start costing more to service than it is worth. Then it will be...

The screw on the back is NOT a calibration screw; the meter needs serviced. It may not be serviceable. Gossen will not work on it; they do not support meters that old anymore. It likely has a bad metering cell and they're no longer available unless you can find a shop that has some old ones...

I am selling one of the Light Lens Lab copies of the old Leica SBLOO 35mm brightline viewfinder. I bought it earlier this year and I have have decided to stick to the Leica VIOOH finder for my Barnacks. I have trouble seeing the entire image area with this in once glance because the framelines...
