Hello, thanks for a great video. We have failed on a Konica auto S3 by using the wrong solvent but will try again with something stronger tomorrow. We have noticed that the camera can be continuously winded without pressing the shutter release button. Does anyone know if this is a consequence of the sticky shutter blades ?

Hey! I recently bought a Pen S f/3.5 but it trips the shutter every time you wind it. The frame counter also spins a full rotation every time you wind it. Have you ever stumbled across this?

Many thanks! I just acquired an Auto S which had no focusing image. With this video I was able to disassemble the camera to determine that a mirror detached. I now have a focusing image but I’m afraid that the focusing distance is off. Oh well, an issue for another day.

Why do fixed lens rangefinders always have the shutter on the lens? Besides being cumbersome, it is extremely prone to breaking. I have owned several rangefinders like this from different brands and they have all broken. An SLR is much more reliable in my experience.

Hello, I have one of these cameras and watching your video I opened mine and had access to the film winding system, however, in my case the small horizontal bar does not remain in the "unlocked" position. When I use the screwdriver and move it, it moves smoothly, but if I release it, it returns to the "locked" position. Do you know of any other procedure to keep the small bar horizontal so that it does not block the film winder?

@japanvintagecamera886912 күн бұрын
It is possible to get in without a degree if you can verify you have 3 years of experience in a trade or skill. There are many foreigners in Japan working in resorts or restaurants, these jobs don't require degrees. You can also enroll at a Japanese language school, which will allow you to get a student visa. With this visa you can get a work permit which will allow you to work part time. In time you can find a better job with an employer who will sponsor, not all of them require degrees so long as you have some kind of skill they can use.

My timer stuck, what should i do? It wont go foward on the film, and wont shutter
@japanvintagecamera886912 күн бұрын
The self timer can stick for two reasons. It can stick if the shutter blades are stuck. If you remove the front or rear lens and add a drop or two of solvent to the shutter blades, that may cause the shutter to cycle, and unstick the self timer. If the self timer itself is stuck, you can add a few drops of solvent to the lever and let it run down into the mechanism. This sometimes doesn't work, if that is the case, try pushing the lever. This will often unlock the timer and shutter, the timer may break, but at least you can then use the shutter.

Hello, thanks for a great video. We have failed on a Konica auto S3 by using the wrong solvent but will try again with something stronger tomorrow. We have noticed that the camera can be continuously winded without pressing the shutter release button. Does anyone know if this is a consequence of the sticky shutter blades ?
