Do you have your own workshop, a corner in your room or do you work as a guest in the kitchen, like me?
I find shooting good photographs difficult enough for me, without trying to be a camera mechanic as well.
Both are fun - and you get to know your camera even better while repairing it.
If it gives you pleasure to attempt to repair your equipment, fair enough but I prefer not to.
Well, main work area. The most important things being the cookie sheet with rubber sheet in bottom to keep parts from bouncing or rolling away, and the carpet that stops bouncing and keeps dropped parts on the surface.
This is its own room these days. Small room, maybe 7x8 feet. There are shelves around the walls for storage, test devices, etc. And I have part of a closet for dead parts, mailing, etc. Maybe 125 square feet total. It's nice to not have to move everything to eat, etc. (the source of the cookie sheet system, by the way- can pick up a whole job as a unit and put it on a shelf in the pantry!).
My workbench photographed with a 75mm Hypergon on 8x10 film.
Not a very good 'scan' it is a photograph of the 8x10 negative hanging to dry. I have not printed it yet.
