I have a canon P myself. Just got it a few days ago. I am really excited because its such a pretty camera. I tested it with a shutter curtain and sadly it's a bit slow overall. Especially in the higher speeds. Now I really hope i can get them up within the canon tolerances but I am still fairly new to fixing cameras so I still need to learn a lot. Anyway, I was looking for information about the repair and as you are saying the repair manual is basically just exploded views and part lists. after searching and searching I stumbled upon the manual of the canon IV-S2. It's a rangefinder that's a bit older than the canon p. This manual has a lot more information and guides. In case you ever need more info.

Phenomenal video. Thank you for recording and posting this kind of content. It's a shame that it couldn't be repaired because they are such beautiful cameras.

Thanks for posting this video, it will be very helpful to me as I am thinking of painting a canon p

Hey I really like your videos and recently tried to fix a lens myself, but as I cleaned the glass parts from fungus (as you do it in your other videos) white dots appeared everywhere on the glass. I can't post a link here but it looks like the Hydrogenperoxide (3%) ruined it completely I am pretty sad and wanted to ask if you have ever experienced something like this before. I can't send you a message via youtube but I'd like to share some info with you. Greetings Dario

Hey man I love your videos and have a very urgent question! I got myself a Mamiya 180mm KL 4.5 and it has a lot of dust in it and one hair and I am not sure if this will make my image quality worse (contrast, sharpness) could I send you pictures of it somewhere and do you have a clue how to open that lens? Is it the same way like the mamiya z lenses? Greetings Samuel

Thanks for the video, really helpful! The shuttle curtain of my canon is broken, could you help advise how to repair it? Thanks

Sad camera. What do you do with the camera? Save it for parts?

The actual issue causing the damage with the camera is the self-timer was not in the correct charged position when an attempt at reassembly has been carried out. The self-timer MUST be in the 'armed' state with and the shutter charged to enable correct reassembly. You have not got it in the correct state when you are reassembling it. I could repair the damage and have this camera working in about an hour.

Здравствуйте! Мне очень нравятся ваши видео. Я их нашел, когда искал для себя, как юстировать объектив leica-m elmarit 90. К сожалению видео не нашел. И вообще не нашел в интернете ни одного ролика, как отъюстировать оптику leica-m. Может я плохо искал. Если у Вас есть опыт, или ссылки на видео, прошу поделитесь. Т.к. leica camera russia официально перестала существовать. А я хочу снимать на свой 90мм. Пожалуйста не оставьте без ответа, каким бы он не был.

Mike, thank you for the video. This was interesting. Do you still work on cameras? I've got a canon vi-l that's not advancing the film correctly. This is a video of what the problem looks like: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/is-gpKR1r8ubcnk.html
