Great video again. I don’t know how you manage to keep up with operation of all the different models. Thank you!

Perfect timing. I believe I have exactly this problem with a recent AF35ML charity shop find.

What a beauty! Great to see you are repairing plastic Fantastics! 👌🏾

Try putting in a screen from the zx-m or mz-m. They fit and are very good, I found a broken zx-m for less than half a replacement screen alone cost. I do not know how much it changes metering.

I love to see your videos! Big shout out here! I love to work on film cameras myself… mostly old Exaktas or other cameras from eastern Germany. Keep up with your work buddy!

You are right… this is a very relaxing video of camera repair and it’s still interesting to watch!

$4 😮😳😁 that's less than the price of a roll of film.... I'm old enough to remember when these were new and way out of my apprentice wage budget...😲😳 I'd be looking at them through the local Dixons electronics store, nose pressed up.against the window, dreaming about owning one, along with the philips laser disc players...pre audio CD, video on a disc the size of a vinyl LP record....😎

Mine is broken I bought it used for 20 bucks cuz the door is broken I bought a second broken one for 15 bucks to take the door and flash unit from it

I know this is a long shot but do you happen to have any Topcon Super D or Super DM bodies for sale? I'm in the EU and I've been searching for one of those for a while now and it seems that they weren't really sold here... I'd be willing to import one given the price is right for me. The ones of Ebay seem insanely overpriced for such an unknown camera. Much love from a fellow Pentaxian!

Been shooting on my MX for almost 3 years now and I really love it. It definitely made me a better Photographer by being so "basic". The only trouble I've had is in cold weather, where the mirror likes to get stuck. Also, the light meter is starting to give out, but you honestly don't really need it. It's more to confirm.

Minolta all the way

The most pretty Pentax is the Pentax K The most robust is the K-1000 The best small Pentax SLR is the auto 110 super The best manual Pentax is the LX The best picture quality slr is the 6x7 So it's hard to make one for all cases

Part of the allure of shooting film is to be able to meter with your own eye and the light meter in the camera is merely for confirmation.

Oh dear, think you should get a different hobby 😵 if POSSIBLE actions taken by Fuji affects you this badly….

I really like the Super Program It's just a bigger ME Super. I'll have to keep a eye out for a ME Super I was lucky to find two K1000 paid $35 for the both of them, one was loved and the other is mint even has the 1:2 lens 49mm lens on it.

Have you noticed that me super light meter can go haywire if there are spot lights or direct light into the lens? I've seen it happen few times. Results in huge under exposure. I'm thinking maybe there is some surface where the light can bounce around inside?

I find the MX focusing screen to be quite a bit dimmer than the ME Super one. Could just be my cameras.

The only impact with Fuji is the color film, the only two major players in color film is Kodak and Fuji. There was a story a few days about a private equity firm and Kodak, so who knows with Kodak. I rarely buy Fuji film unless I need it in a pinch and buy it locally. Kodak Image Plus 100 is my general color film stock. Nowadays, I shoot less and less color film, mostly use Tri-X and Kentmere 100. With 4x5, I only shoot black and white and haven’t shot color 4x5 in years since it’s about 6.00 a sheet.

Lucky had several invited tour to their factory, and announced they will bring back colour film

Have you heard anything about Ilford Ilfocolor 400 Vintage Tone film?

Do you still do repairs? I need to send mine to you ASAP

I have one. I bought it for $10 or less at a monthly camera show by me. I bought a Nikon N90s body for $25 at my local photolab Sunday. I have an Em. I used it once but still have film in it. Looking for a video how to on it as we speak.

Hey, I'm trying to repair my girlfriend's AE-1. The shutter was stuck, same for the winding lever, I opened it and manage to get the shutter and winder unstuck, however the mirror would not move when i fire and the curtains won't move either when I wind. For some weird reason after some fiddling, the mirror comes up when I fire it, but it won't come down. I need to manually push the advance stopper down. Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks

All you did was take some covers off and clean stuff that nobody could see. What was the point of this?

Have Cosina reintroduce the CT-1 and it's derivatives (Bessa R/Bessa L/Bessa TM/Nikon FM-10/FE-10/T-60/OM2000/TC-X/FX-3).

It's funny, we never called it Fujifilm until they started making digital cameras. It was all just Kodak or Fuji. Fuji should drop the film if they're not going to make it. They undercut Kodak for years and made them barely make film, and I guess it was just to kill it. We don't have Kodachrome because of Velvia.

This video is great, but hard to see the little silver thin piece at the end. I would say that the intricacies of the guts of a 35mm camera demand 4k video for sharpness.

Fuji has a lot of military contracts. The Japanese, Canadian and Uncle Sam all use their optics...with that, film is a secondary market.

Nothing new to mee. Overexposed convinced me about Fuji some time ago: ruclips.net/video/LIMPXELfcz8/видео.htmlsi=Ws6Jr2POTthfsbPw

Biggest worry now is what happens with Kodak now that theyve been sold to beancounters. Fuji has been kind of out of the game for a while now, so nothing new there. I do hope Harman and Inovis crank up their production for C41 if the big two leave a vacuum, otherwise get used to only shooting BW.

Isn't it Shanghai that uses the Orwo film?

I don't understand what's going on with Fuji, they seem to still be making slide film (at least given the expiration dates) but selling it only in Japan...

I’ve pretty much stopped buying anything Fuji since they have decided to produce everything in communist china. Pretty much trying to stop buying anything that is for a hobby and fun that is made in a communist china.

Rumors are rumors. It is hard to tell with Fuji, because like alot of other japanese companys, they dont really give out alot of information on stuff they release (just *very* bare bones info), so the only way we'll find out if its actual Fuji color stock or recanned Kodak film is when it's released and people get their hands on it test it.

I did a little research on japanese websites. not much info. it seems the Kodak rebranded film is just the beginning of the china based production operation, the reason of the whole thing being a move to reduce the costs of production. It's not clear but Fuji mentioned a rise in raw materials for film (Including Instax) production as the reason of this move. I feel the C200 operation is a "proof of concept" to test the chinese company production capacity on a product that is not too complex to finalise since the film itself is made by Kodak. The prices raises announced not so long ago may also correspond to a possible price range after the whole production has moved to China, we could see it as a test to verify that the end customer is ready to pay the new price even before actually moving the production to china.

ion trust fuji no mo

I think Seagull is making B&W.

Bummer. Really hoped Fuji would blow some life into film. After all, it's Fuji that still makes *a lot* of film, just: only for their Instax formats. That there are synergies bewteen producing those 2 is shown by Polaroid and ORWO in Germany. The new owners of Polaroid bought up a lot of old film coating plants in Europe. Amongst them they bought the production line in Wolfen. Since ORWO is back in the game for producing film they now share this facility. ORWO basically is renting it's old facility from Polaroid now. Interestingly: They do so only for several weeks a year. Machines and production gets changed from Polaroid to ORWO, they produce their batches for the coming year and then it's back to Polaroid. Just this example helped me keeping my hopes up. Especially since Fujifilm re-branded their ISO 200 and 400 color films to nameless products. I thought they consolidated their lineup and said: We produce what financially makes sense, but *we produce.* I know, that's not enough for artsy film shooters, but for me it would have been a sign that the one company in the world that has production of Instax film and regular photo film in it's own hand keeps on delivering. But what you say makes sense and it's making the rounds as such. I just wonder why Fuji made the move (this year?) recently to re-brand consumer film. Overall though, there might not be any hope, but likewise there is no reason for despair: ORWO is working on a Kodak Gold competitor for at least 2 years now. I've seen some test shots, not great yet, but definitely a ISO 200 color film that is different to their NC 500 (ISO 400). That film should come out this year or 2025 latest. Adox bought an old Agfa production line in Switzerland, probably for their color mission. Today's Agfaphoto is only a brand that sells stuff, they don't make anything themselves anymore. But their b/w films are cheap and good IMO. So, at least in the market of what I would call "indy producers" there is growth. They move and invest. Of course we all are fucked if the new Kodak overlords lose interest in film. But as of now, I think film looks better than at least 5 if not 10 years ago.

It takes an insane amount of technology and knowledge to produce half decent color film. Surprised to see all these companies making or at least planning to make c-41 film.

I'm so pissed. I loved Provia 100F

Well bummer. At least With every “allegedly” you said you morphed into the “apparently” kid that went to the fair with his grandpa 😂

You ever service Pentax ESII Cameras? Specifically shutter speed issues

I used to be sluggish like that in mornings. It turns out I had severe sleep apnea with blood oxygen saturation close to 60% with danger of brain damage. If you don’t feel repaired in the morning, talk to you doctor

Love the LM pickup. Worth the repair time as I'm not sure anyone will ever make a TLR again. With modern parts and materisls, proven lenses and mulri-format spools, you could build the most travelable TLR ever made.
