Hello! I have acquired a the camera mentioned in the title for a very very cheap price. Unfortunately the shutter speeds don't seem to change. It's always very fast. I'm looking for some repair guidance or a manual for Copal Shutters. I have found disassembly guides but I don't really know...

I didn't post because I don't think it's salvageable. Here's the pictures. Looks like screw attached to the endcap of the advance lever broke inside the camera, so now it's not possible to screw it.

I ended up gluing it in place but as if my luck wasn't good enough, the screw broke in the advance lever and now I can't put it back together. Oh well, at least I learned something

I removed the condenser lens so I can have easier access to the small lens. Yes, I do think it's backwards in the shot, at least according to the picture in the manual. I'll try to snap it in like the first comment said, but I'd be surprised if it works, the lens seems much bigger than the...

Hey! I came across a working Electro 35 at a good price. When I got it I noticed that the rangefinder calibration was a bit off because it wasn't aligning at infinity. I opened up the camera to adjust the screw but I ended up making it even worse. This is what I see through the viewfinder I...

Hello! I bought a Yashica Electro which seems to be in good working condition except the focus scale is off center. The ring itself is quite loose, so I was wondering if this is common and an easy fix. I can still use it, I just have to adjust to it being one stop over what I expected from...

Thanks all! Should I avoid keeping 120 film loaded in the camera? I think I left fhe film in there for like a month, it's probably more susceptible to humidity there than inside the little plastic wrap

I used a DSLM camera (Canon M50II, Pentax FA 100mm f2.8) and the lab used a Fuji Frontier SP3000. Wouldn't that make it difficult for the blotches to be a digital artifact since they appear in two different scanning methods. As for the blotches looking digital, I kinda see what you mean but I...

These are two unedited shot of the negative I used, they have a bit of the border between frames. Unfortunately my scanning setup for 120 is still a bit barebones so I don't have pics of the edge markings, but Fomapan also doesn't have many. I find it very hard to discern detail using a negative...

Something that I forgot to answer, the lines are in a lot of the shoots but not all of them. It might just be that the highlights hide the lines I guess. The film was fomapan 200 and still within its expiration date. I bought some Kodak Gold and Ilford FP4, so I hope its not camera related...

Also if there's a better way to upload let me know. This websit limits files at 2mb so I used imgur

I can see the mottling in my own scans. I have used the lab before with good results for 35mm but not 120. They scanned at 3000x3000px. I find it a bit surprising that you're struggling to see it. Essentially I would expect the wall to be perfectly white, but in the shoys it looks textured...

That's strange. I've tried multiple devices and incognito mode. I see imgur embeds with the pictures

Hello! I recently bought a Bronica SQ-B and shot a roll of Fomapan 200 to test it. I got the scans back from the lab, and they are a bit strange to me. I scanned the negatives myself and see the same issues, so I'd like to ask for some insight on what could cause this. In the picture above...

Hello! I just bought a Konica Auto S2 from a second hand market. I gave it a wipe with a lens cloth, and noticed this weird circular haze in the center. Could anyone tell me if this can be cleaned or if this is permanent? It doesn't look like fungus to me. Thanks
