Just got this camera yesterday, and did some quick repairs on it to get it operating again. I still need to do the seals, and the filter ring is not quite done yet as I don't have the proper size one to check the round. But it's looking better. The meter isn't working properly, with just the Under light coming on, so that is a problem with the wipers in the lens barrel. After checking Mike Feuerbacher's site, I decided I didn't want to mess with that at the moment since I can operate the camera manually, and have a really nice Vivitar shoe-mount meter I can take with me if I am unsure about my Sunny-16 calculations.
This is the link to the Flickr series on the repairs.

Ran the first roll of film through the Lynx today, and I'm happy.

Great stuff. I have two (used one for parts) and it really does take good pictures. Have to take the old one apart to see if I can unstick the shutter. |

Incredibly sharp lens! I get my first roll back from my GNS tomorrow, hope they are as sharp as yours. |
