And you have the maturity to admit your mistakes and laugh (I hope) over them. Welcome to the world of senior citizens. Best of luck enjoying your "new found hobby". Another senior citizen with his share of mistakes.

I have an M3 that the frame counter has recently quit resetting when I remove the take-up spool. Is this a DIY repair or best left to others? The camera is a double stroke converted to single stroke by Leitz NY 30 years ago. I have owned the camera for 50+ years. Thank-you.

As a licensed Master Electrician, I would refer to the National Electric Code, table 310.4(1), conductors rated for under 600 volts. I would be looking for a conductor that has a maximum temperature rating GREATER than the highest setting of the thermostat. Maximum conductor operating...

The R4 and Intenscreen are spoken for.

All remaining items FREE. I would appreciate the courtesy of shipping costs. US shipping only.

Sometimes the direct route works best. I was looking for "Compur Shutter Repair", instead of mechanical camera repair. Thank-you for taking the time.

I have a 90 f:8 Super Angulon- with a Synchro Compur shutter. The B function is not releasing after an exposure. I need to re-cock the shutter to get it to close. All of the other speeds sound okay. Who in the United States works on these? Any rough idea what the repair would run? I...

Mike: Thank you for posting this. I recently acquired a 45MXT and it was missing the scale. This allowed me to make and calibrate a replacement. Your pictures with the tape measure made it easy to calibrate. The SAE and Metric tape was the most helpful. Mark J.

I would weigh in on the fixer being depleted. In general the negatives show less damage near the sprocket holes. I have negatives I processed 55 years ago and do not have any problems with them. They are stored in Print File sheets in binders in a closet. The temperature is kept at a...

I was unable to upload the jpg file. Please take a look at the .pdf with the dimensions. Mark J.

According to most the wrong item. Gentle application of a pencil eraser. Good luck. Mark J.

Leica R4, black, FREE, claimed Good condition. Shutter functions with a battery MOST of the time. After multiple cycles of the shutter, the shutter fails to operate. It appears to be a heavy battery drain. The shutter speed indication in the viewfinder window does not match the set...

I have a pair of M6's. Both classic, one a 0.85. Both late production. One of the bodies, the meter quit working on. I swapped the batteries between the bodies and the original still did not function. The ultimate culprit was oxidation on the battery contacts in the battery compartment...

The attached pictures show the holder I made for the 1c. It mounts below the lens and is made of 1/8" (3mm) aluminum and painted flat black. It does not swing out, but the Kodak Variable Contrast filters slide on with the lip of the filter holding it in place. If desired I can provide...

I built a custom plate to hold the filter under the lens. It allows standard Kodak filters to rest on it. It was made with a small aluminum plate, a hole saw to cut the opening and mounted with a 6x1x20 metric bolt. Painted with flat black paint, I do not have issues with reflections. I can...
