Just came across with this channel and it's content is pure gold

Thanks. I’m glad you like it. :)

🇨🇦 Most Canadian moment of your channel. 10:10

Thanks for sharing this. I might try this myself. One question, maybe you said this but is the glue for dampening the aperture ring? Someone on a forum suggested to glue in a piece of PTFE sheet in there, but I don't know what's recommended.

I’m using a grease made specifically for optical helicoids. Other greases can cause hazing over time. Replacing the metal clip with a piece of PTFE sounds like a great option.

Really nice rounded set, I’m looking for a 24 f2.8, 28 f2.8, 35 f2.8, 50 f2 and 100 f2.5

Yeah. I’m pretty happy with that. I’d like to grab the 28mm, not because it fills a gap, but that I understand it’s a total banger or a lens. Also… happy new year!

@@gearheadchannel It's IMHO the best vintage 28mm, a friend has it and tested it with a borrowed Leica R 28mm V2, it was as good and outperformed the Leica.

@@gearheadchannel Gotcha, found a bunch now from Vessel and Wera (German brand, I think, I'm in Europe). Someone (on the internet) said that 1.4mm, 1.7mm and 2mm are essential for camera repair. Only found 2mm and a bunch of others but not those particular sizes. I'll keep looking.

I'm going to take apart a lens that I sank in a river to see it I can doctor it up. The electronics are toast but I rarely use autofocus anyway.

I sent a few lenses and a 7D into the river at the same time.I submitted an insurance claim to cover it all. FYI. Don't buy a soft Lowepro waterproof bag.

Oof! Probably would’ve had better luck with zip-locs.
