By the way, the stereoscopic images this camera produces are fascinating! I really like this camera!

The fog in one of the lenses is not so much of a problem but you do notice it when photographing against some bright light. I think i wouldnt care if it wasnt stereo. But having one more foggy frame infront of only one eye, the other being clear, creates an impression like you had some milky...

A quick update on the repair: The Belplasca is reassembled since some weeks ago and everything works like a charm now! I was able to adjust the shutter speeds and they are now perfectly correct, except for 1/10s which is too fast and more like 1/15 or 1/18 but thats not too much of a problem...

The escapement is in benzine now and everything seems to work perfectly. I cleaned the viewfinder today which was very hazy and the rear lenses of the objectives. I am unable to open the front of the objectives so far, in order to clean the front lens elements from the inside where there is...

Nice to hear that. But I still have absolutely no idea how somebody scratched this so badly

This is nasty! I found some scratches inside the lenses! For fucks sake who scratched them so much! Its between the front and rear lens but the objective doesnt seem to have been opened before. I guess it wont affect image quality too much but maybe thats wishful thinking😬

The lens unit with the sync for focus, aperture and with the mechanism for parallax correction in the viewfinder

Here you can see the paper discs

Hi, I wanted to update you all. I opened the Belplasca today and apart from the leatherette (removing it I guess always sucks) it was a pleasure to work on it. Everyting is perfectly self-contained! There was not a single part jumping out or anything like that and as far as I can see right now...

Yes, you are right about the shutter mechanism

I wouldnt be too affraid of that. Other Belplasca users described the inside of the camera as very well organized and self-contained. To my knowledge belplascas are very repair-friendly. But lets see...

Yes, you are right, thats the thread I ment (where 3DJack is involved) which I mentioned in the beginning. But: It wasnt explained how to enter the front part, as far as I can recall. I as well think that there should be (four) screws behind the leatherette according to the photos. My original...

Thank you all! The lenses are Zeiss Tessar 37,5 mm 3,5. They are said to be really nice but I didnt test them so far. Yes the shutters are behind the lenses. I´m afraid of putting lighter-fluid there to be honest, because the lenses are coated and i cant exclude that organic solvent will harm...
