Hi all.

More new about this, the same day the mirror and the beam splitter arrived (1 month it took) a friend brought to me an auction I won for completing my Makina II set, the seller didn't want to send to Moscow so I used my friends at UK.

Here are some photos and how I installed everything and dismounted this time the focusing mechanism.


Gadgets for Makina II.



Two tabs to take out and get in.



Martin Seelig's amazing work.



New mirror on spot!



Where is the Wide Orthar aperture mark?



1 hour later.



All clean and back to business.


Camera is ready!

Thank you for watching.
Alex

That is really great that you can do all that.
Where did you get the tiny mirror?
Thanks,
Robert

Hello, Robert and thank you.

For mirrors and such things Martin Seelig, I used his services three times I think, great job and he knows what is he doing. I can send a pm with his contact info if you want.

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Yes, contact information for martin Seelig would be great.
I see that you worked on the rangefinder, but why were you removing the viewfinder glass?

Hi, Robert.

I send his email on pm, less spam
About the viewfinder, I removed it because the one it came with my camera had a very nasty dent in the middle of the crossline, not allowing the composing very nicely, I was lucky enough to get the second lot in an extra viewfinder
