Cured it from all its diseases, no pitfalls at all, but I find cameras from the 60's a bit more complicated than those later 70's and 80's models: a lot more levers, discs and coupling rings. Fixed the defective shutter: one of the bades had somehow come off, blocking everything. Re-installed a broken pin to keep the shutter and exposure coupling disks in their place, repaired the fxcked-up winding mechanism, undented the body and cleaned and adjusted the RF. It is a fine camera, even the selenium meter still works perfectly. And it has no rotting light seals at all, but is so cleverly designed that stray light has no chance. (The downside of that is the huge body, you can't have everything.) One question is still open: it has a "Ricoh S-Kominar F:2 f=4,8 cm". I thought Kominar was a Mamiya brand name ?! (I have a Mamiya Super Deluxe with a 2/48 Kominar). Can anybody please help clarify the matter ? |
