Some DIY Repair links

[Alex Bishop-Thorpe]

I just thought I'd share some of the links I've come across in my recent tinkering. Keep in mind I haven't repaired much myself, but I am an inquisitive sort, so you might find some of this handy.

Lens Collimation:
Building an Auto collimator, By Mark Overton, 2000
Collimation with an SLR

Russian Rangefinders/FSU Stuff:
FED and Zorki Survival Site, Jay Javier
Kiev Survival Site, lots of excellent general information too
Disassembly notes on many Russian RF lenses, general rangefinder repairs

Tools, General:
Dead Link Removed
More Advanced Shutter Tester
Rick Oleson's Camera Tech Notes
Daniel Mitchell's notes (Lots on leaf shutters)
KYPhoto, Lots of good general information
Dead Link Removed
Lens wrench, by SK Grimes

Each of these have a lot of useful information, and most have their own pages of links to investigate too.
