After a break in the workshop, I want to start working with a screwdriver again in the fall at the latest.

Until then, I will continue to improve my electronics knowledge so that I can learn more about the circuits in cameras. A topic that interests me very much.

As before, I don't want to do this on my own, but rather in the company of interested people

My boxes of photo equipment (analogue SLR systems) as potential repair project are well filled, so I would like to ask what topics you would be interested in.

Suggestions are welcome!

IMO, Electronic flash is an important and interesting topic but also dangerous. Old flash or high power flashes have high voltage capacitor inside. Without proper electronic knowledge and skills , any attempts by first-time DIYers are unwise.

Absolutely right! That's why I'm glad that no one has chosen this topic until now.
