Dear, you will never get a huge crowd of subscribers. But for us, the rarities, who deal with vintage cameras, your work is invaluable. Please keep going on!
What a great instructional video. This is by far the most professional, informative and detailed that I have seen. Only half way through the video and already subscribed.
Had one of these with an eveready case. Sold it earlier this year for 170CNY though. The meter was working perfectly and I now think I've probably set the price too low🤓
Hi, if you ever get a Yashica Minister D or similar camera in for repair, please do a video on it! I've taken the aperture and shutter apart and cleaned it, but now I can't seem to get the aperture to open and close correctly. It either opens from fully closed to half-open, or half-open to fully open, depending on how I place the screw-down plate that secures the aperture blades. I've taken apertures apart before on other rangefinders like the Canonet QL25 and Konica Auto S2, and it's the first time I've been stumped by the mechanism, so I'd be very interested to see what the trick is to get it to open correctly on the Yashica. Great video by the way!
Great video! What is the shutter speed measuring software you are using? Is it an open source Arduino project? I’m also interested in you mentioning the 1/3 to 1 stop differences when measuring leaf shutters: Why is it so and are there any online sources from where I could learn more? Anyway, awesome channel!
Yes, there is a shutter speed tester Arduino project by "hiroshootsfilm" on arduino porjecthub. I replaced the sensor with a laser diode and altered the code a little bit for my needs but you will be fine with the original code and sensor. You will get slower shutter speed results at higher speeds when testing because the leaf shutter renders the image progressively on the whole film plane. Think of the leaf shutter as the same as the aperture on lenses, a wider aperture makes the entire image brighter, and a narrow aperture makes the entire image darker. But the focal plane shutters in SLR such as Canon ae1 render the picture linearly from side to side.
@@VintageResurrection So if I understood correctly it’s more like the tool is calibrated for a focal plane shutter and for leaf shutter we need to ”calibrate” it on the fly in our head? In any case thanks for the info! I’ll have to take a look at the Arduino project.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I will definitely do the video about Yashica when I got one.

please do a video restoring a konica c35 pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
6:58 Wait...what?? 😮🤣
