I recently acquired an Olympus 35 S rangefinder camera that someone seems to have tried repairing. They did not do a very good job with it.
The film advance lever is not coupled to the Seikosha leaf shutter and doesn't advance the film.
The focus helical is not where it is supposed to be. The lens assembly sticks out too far.
As a result of the helical being mis-placed the rangefinder is no longer coupled properly.
The accessory shoe is missing.
The ring around the focus nearest to the camera body is loose.
The viewfinder window in the front has a glass panel that is loose.
The shutter probably needs a good cleaning as well as the whole camera.
I do not believe anything is broken or missing other than the accessory shoe and I would try putting things back in place myself but after having cataract surgery on my eyes I cannot see well enough to do this myself.
I asked my favorite shop V-Photo of Atlanta and William Matiz the owner said he no longer work on that model.
Any good names for repair on older rangefinder-viewfinder cameras? In the US preferably. _________________ Big Dawg |
