I just packed the camera to send to Mark Hama.  He seems like the right person for this repair.

Thank-you for the help everyone.  I just boxed up the camera to send to Mark Hama in Marietta Georgia.  It will receive a meter repair and a CLA.  I should have it back in about a month, just in ...

Whenever I go on vacation it rains.

If I can get the meter repaired I'll have a CLA done at the same time and have the timing checked.

I know that you are right but I'm a stickler for detail.  I do historical re-enactment and it would be like turning out for a Revolutionary War encampment with a solar panel.  This camera was made ...

Thank-you for the good advice.  I'll google the name.

Thank-you for the recommendations.  I'll contact them this week.  Going down the rabbit hole is much of the fun for me.   This is the first TLR I've had in my hands so it is a learning ...

I'm a history buff and enjoy using old equipment.  For me, it would be more enjoyable to use the camera as it was originally intended.  I have an assortment of antique, vintage and modern digital ...

I recently picked up a Yashica-Mat EM TLR camera at a local estate sale to use as my first foray into medium film format.  The camera is in beautiful cosmetic condition and just needed a light ...

I got outbid on the M8 but managed to get some great deals on a tripod, light stand and background.  This was the first digital M I've seen in person so it was a learning experience getting to ...

Thank-you for letting me know.  Since my R lens does not have electrical connections I'll look at the cheaper adapters online.    Joe

I just looked at a M8 at a local auction house with a 90mm 2.5 Summarit lens attached.  I liked the body and the easy to see rangefinder patch however the frame lines for the 90mm were too close ...

Thank-you for letting me know.  I will keep an eye on it when it sells.

A small auction house near my home has a Leica M3 double stroke they are going to sell in a few weeks.  It appears to be in average good used condition with a small piece of vulcanite missing.  ...

I really like your framing.  Do you have the first photo in color?

Very nice photos.  Is the third photo of an art installation?

Thanks for the interesting article.  I have one of these lens currently sent out for a CLA.
