Yes, I really am. Not only at work, in this forum as well  .

So I guess with a growing queue you will soon be able to give technical assistance based on experience. |
If I keep progressing as by now, maybe I could give a hand someday.
I've just started this funny activity... that is highly rewarding!.
Best regards,

Thanks, Larry!.
I think fixing it would be easy as soon as I get the wrench. The shutter works smoothly as it does the lens and the diaphragm.
To be really shure of the shutter status I have to finish the shutter speed meter I'm building, based on a phototransistor and connected to the serial port of th PC (by now), although I'm thinking on an autonomous device based on a PIC microcontroller and a LCD display...
I'm really about to finish it, just I need days of 36 or 48 hours (at least).
Best regards.
Jes.

Nice camera, the lens is a Cooke triplet type so you ought to get quite decent photos. Never mind the shutter accuracy -- modern negative films have so much latitude that it doesn't make much difference if the speeds are one stop off. Remember, these cameras were intended for casual photography and they are most fun that way. Get used to zone focusing, preselect the zone according to the situation you are in, and the zero delay non-focusing will beat most digicam AF systems, which just keep hunting all over the place and finally focus on some random spot well after the critical moment is way past. Correctly used zone focusing never produces those hopelessly out of focus photos which are the bane of the slow AF digicams. ZF photos aren't very often extremely sharp, but at least the people in them are recognizable, and there may even be a little bit more immediacy in these not so perfect photos. Just learn the attitude, this kind of photography can be very relaxing after all the stiff lip pixel pushing - and often strangely even more rewarding

Thanks for the info, Veijo. I fully agree with you in the Zonerangers. My Minox 35ML and the Konica C35V are such of, and I love them, (even if the lens is not outstanding). Living in a sunny place like this, it's easy to pick a wide DOF to get clear pictures... .

Nice one as well!. I see only a difference in the font type (in the engraved lettering on the front side)...
Yours seems to be the 'Kodak AG Retinette IA (type 035/7)'.

I came across a site which showed how to check shutter speeds with a monitor screen. <googles>

Not sure about the refresh rate and the persistence on them, to be honest. I don't use one at all, so can't test it.

You're a lucky chap Jes. Good luck with the repairs. I love the icons on the lens for zone focussing.

Thanks Peter!.
It's the most pretty camera I currently own... (letting aside the Yashicamat and maybe the Argus...).
