the black permanent marker is definitely not the way to go. it's not permanent enough, not opaque and thick enough, likely to be a weird blue-purple tone, and will rub off on hands.

What do you recommend to use that’s better? 3:13

@@carolynquirke5342 brush on something that more closely resembles the original black lacquer, on a well cleaned and maybe primed surface. I've never lacquered metal, but I've heard of zapon lacquer as an old standard lacquer for metal. but there probably are many others. you can buy colours for mixing into lacquers, and I think also fine powdery products that you can mix into lacquers if you want them to dry matte (by making the surface rough). at least there are lacquers that already have that stuff in them. for non-transparent black lacquer, an insoluble pigment such as lamp black or bone black would be good (the original lacquer on metal definitely was non-transparent, it looks a bit odd to see shiny metal reflecting through a black lacquer).

youd want at least a paint marker

Not a regular sharpie

I preferred the black leather but a good restoration each to there own on which colour to go for 👍🏻.

01:00 to be fair, that blade was probably put there to ensure that the resulting images are razor sharp.

Thanks a lot for Sharing my work !

The restored camera looks amazing. Thank you for the update, Insider..!!

better than some dude destroyed a perfectly good condition item then restored it badly

yeah. worse than doing nothing.

I'm not a fan of the sharpy and the brown skin. Nevertheless, good restoration.

That was an extraordinary restoration!! Magical!!!

Nice work! That custom skin you found really makes everything look new. Did you know about the availability of the a custom skin before you started? It seems all that work wasn't worth it if you didn't know about the custom skin.

my local camera repairman charges around USD50-100 for a camera/lens repair and restoration job, depending on conditions.

Nice job! A beautiful camera

Good morning, I have a question. I have an EDIXA REFLEX MAT L/Z camera I'm having trouble restoring it. In my copy, there is dirt in the viewfinder (in the center of the prism). Is there any way to clean the prism inside

I had one as a kid in the 70s, but I didn't know back then they were rare, so I believe it got dumped with a load of other stuff when I moved out...

Can't wait to see how he uses it with his weird lens collection.

i liked the black way better i feel like it looks like a very 2013 hipster tumblr blog would post about it w the brown. at least it's still functional right?

Wonderful camera. When i First saw a video of her, i decided to buy One.

Fun project. Old-is-new, cool for the millenials, not for those of us who were around when there were no other options. Not a fan of paying big bucks for film and developing either.

The view finder is amazing 😮

Gorgeous!

Does the camera work, or just look good ?

Nice work.

Great job.

Everything photography is excellent

I feel like I’ve seen this video on another channel without a voice over?

Perfect ❤❤❤❤

Brilliant stuff

why?

I wouldn't call this a restoration, but a clean up. I mean he could have gone a step further in REALLY restoring it, like taking it apart completely, cleaning everything, replacing ALL of foam (resoldering the wires and replacing capacitors if any), repainting the whole thing properly, not just going over with a sharpie lmao

Interesting

Grimmy 1960s camera restored
