In fact, kiev4a from 1959 to 1964 or latest to 1967, is also in good quality, which is even better than cyrilic kiev 2. Your kiev4 is in bad quality (I guess it is produced after 1975)

A couple of months ago I purchased an M1. Ironically, it is part of the "1050" - 1962 batch. I find that most of my pictures are taken at 10 feet or greater, so I do not have to worry too much about focus. I own several other cameras including the Bessa L which does not include a viewfinder. Over time you get used to calculating distance. Higher ISO film does help but is not necessary. I have three lenses, a 50mm, 35mm and 28mm (with its own rangefinder). I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the camera and the quality of my photos. I also own a first edition Leicaflex and share the lenses between the cameras. Thank you for providing the introduction to the Leica M1.

Your meter switch is out of adjustment. The meter is not supposed to turn on with the shutter button locked. My version 2 does not do that. But the release button for the exposure compensation dial (the button inside the prism release lever) will turn on the meter for about half a minute when it is pressed.

All K1000s have a split-image rangefinder... the SE screen is special because it's a 45º angle split. And the Fujica has a lock pin to enable full-aperture metering with their EBC Fujinon lenses, a feature that was expected by the early '70s. That's basically why Pentax moved to the K-mount.

The only problem I had with a Fuji 645 is a sticky rangefinder on my GS645S. Nothing you have to worry about ;o] The MTL 5 unfortunately needs a mercury battery PX625 or a Wine Cell. With LR or SR batteries, the meter will give you false readings. You probably know that already. The Bessa TM is a dream! I don't think actually replacing the mirror will be much of a problem. However, adjusting it precisely will be difficult. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing whether it worked or not. This camera definitely deserves to be repaired! Never had a T90. I really like the design by Luigi Colani. (The only FD Camera I've ever had was a AE1 Program that I've lent to a friend in the 90's. She went on a backpacking trip in Ireland, and one day, she left the camera in her tent, unattended, while going for a hike. When she got back, it was gone. Thechnically, she still owes me a camera and 28, 50 and 135 mm lenses.)

@wei2shoot79 4 ай бұрын

I think my friend's had the same issue. Sticky rangefinder. I don't know what he did for fixing it. Next time I see him, I will ask him. Yes, I know about the battery issue. For these manual mechanical cameras, I just use the light meter app on my phone. I agree, adjusting mirror will need some precise work. I think as long as the angle of the mirror is not changed, the focusing accuracy will be fine. On the Olympus parts camera, I will ask the repairman to double check the position of the mirror before removing it. I think the mirror on the Bessaflex will be at the same location. The T90 is pretty cool, at least I think so. The actually camera is thinner than the EOS-1. I think it's probably the most advanced camera for the FD mount. I also have a Canon F-1 original. That camera is pretty solid but I think the T90 has better focusing accuracy. I'm sorry about your Canon AE-1, you may have to ask him to get you the replacement :)

@OriginalTLab3000 4 ай бұрын

@@wei2shoot79 The sticky rangefinder is easy to fix. Only three screws and the winder knob hold the camera's top. One slider on the left hand side has to be cleaned and maybe oiled. The rangefinder can then be adjusted vertically and horizontally with two screws. But I brought my GS645S to the repair shop anyway, because it is somehow my most important camera and I prefer the pros to work on it. Not because I use it that much or because it so good (which it is). Well, I haven't been on a proper vacation since 1999. And one day I thought: If I could only take one camera an a vacation with me, which one would it be? I chose the GS645S and every time I hold it, it's like a promise that one day I will see Japan or the Carpathian Mountains or the Scottish North Coast. And when I finally go there, that camera has to be ready.

I've had an SP1000 since I first got into photography, and I still love to use it. A seriously underrated camera. Great quality, feel, looks, dependability, simplicity, and lens selection. It is challenging, and you have to really know photography to use it to full advantage, because it doesn't do anything for you, but what it does, it does very well. When you get a keeper shot with an SP1000, you've created something.

Made during 21 years, 9 variations, with the same name ??? I never understood (back "then") why it was so little known ! So now with that I understandv even less. (Minolta XM I finally got the (right?) hint that they suffered week shutter curtain) (I was pro with Nikon F2, F3, F4,F5, After they had stopped production, I was amazed by Canon's F1 (overF1n) feel of it, so impressive, yet also was quite "unknown". I also thought sometimes Olympus OM 3 Ti should really have been on my radar then, with (however only) some 3-4 specific lenses), but it never occurred to me. Pentax however had such many openly aficionados, but never with this one. Because of untidy-looking (casted) numbers on the dial? Next to Leica R, Contax (Yashica) was the one looking like overtaking for the 'lonely serious' out-of-the-box photographers...
