 Next on the repair bench. I actually ran a test roll with this one, just for kicks.  Laser beam butt. It's a beautiful camera, but I think it needs new curtains.... |

Ooh nasty... and that's indoors, imagine what would happen outside! I started dabbing paint on the pinholes in my Pentacon F curtains the other night before I realised there were too many, so I snapped & did a replacement (#2 - the material I used the first time was sub-standard, doh!).

Yes Wayne, it's pretty much sunshine and blue sky coming through that curtain. It's a beautiful camera though. Just needs a CLA and the curtain and it'll be ready for another half century. I hope it gets used when it goes back to it's home. Quite the machine.

That's a shutter curtain?????
There's somebody on ebay selling Japanese electrical tape for fixing light leaks in Holgas. 6.50 a roll, plus shipping. You might want to look into that. At 6.50+, it's gotta be good stuff. HAR!

Maybe it's just me, but I like "Laser beam butt". I think the highlighting is what makes that picture.

Looks so easy when you do it! J Ake :twisted: Well, I haven't got to the hard part yet, Jorn. Eventually it has to look like a camera, (and even work like a camera) again . The cool part is I get to shoot 'em before I send them back. Joy. |
