I've been reading it with amazed enthusiasm for weeks. Now, I have a question. I just bought a Ricoh 519 rangefinder that appears to be in excellent condition except the focus doesn't move. It's frozen beyond the point of reasonable force. It wouldn't surprise me to learn there's some kind of lock, or other trick to making it move. I thought I'd start with this resourceful group. My experience with camera repair shops hasn't been too great. I'm very handy, so I'm determined to repair it myself. Any input is gratefully appreciated. thank you, Michael
