Actually, you have to ask yourself another question first: Why should I repair my historical camera at all?
Well, I'm not primarily a collector, I also want to use my old cameras. That's the only way I can understand the essence of a camera. So I have to at least repair them, but it would be better to restore them as well. What do you think?
One example is my Mamiya Super 16, which I enjoyed restoring over several weeks. In the end, it's deeply satisfying to have brought it back to life. If you would like to see pictures and videos of my project, you can find them here:
