Thanks for the video! I 3D printed something similar size with TPU (flexible filament) and it works great! The hardest part is gluing it to the plate. I got it half way in then used a tiny screwdriver with shoe glue (really strong black adhesive) on the tip and pushed the pad and glue into place. It is on real good now :).

...my Hasselblad Carl Zeiss 80/2.8 C T* Planar lens is marked in metres not feet. From what I can determine, it looks like the 50ft mark on this 80/2.8 corresponds roughly to the 20m mark on my lens. Sounds like some experimentation will be required to determine the correct marks for IR photography. Great video. Thanks.

Hello, excellent video! I have a specific issue with my Yashica Electro 35 GSN: the red and yellow lights are working properly, but when I take a shot, the shutter always fires at the same speed, even when the lighting conditions change. It seems like the light meter is functioning, but it's not communicating the correct shutter speed to the camera. Do you have any idea where the problem might be occurring? Thank you.

I have the same exact issue, very frustrating. Mine seems to be firing around 1/30 which is weird because the default is supposed to be 1/500

A year too late, but you have to remove (or loosen) a 5th screw below film advance sprocket. You can access this screw from the hole where film rewind release button normally attaches to the sprocket. Then casing will slide downwards and clear the topside.

Thanks for this explainer, particularly the view of what's happening inside the bottom of the camera: That was key for me understanding this. And your repair method is so much more practical than people recommending taking the lens off. To get in over the top of the case, after removing the top, I put the replacement pad on the end of a sewing needle. Once I had the pad almost in place, with the needle still in, I pushed it the rest of the way in with a straightened paperclip. When the glue was set, I just pulled the needle out, leaving the pad in place. A piece of replacement toilet flush valve (Korky brand, from Home Depot) turned out to be exactly the right thickness. Fixed my POD issue.

What I don't understand if this:. The act of pressing the shutter is supposed to catch the lever. Winding releases it. So, when you are ready to take a picture, the lever should be released already. How does the catching the lever after the shutter is pressed affect the exposure system before it is pressed? The lever is free under all circumstances as pictures are being exposed? I know it is supposed to work, but I can't understand how it possibly does.
@phoslurperr3 жыл бұрын
And... So I tried a fix someone proposed of unscrewing the rod at the bottom of the camera such that the lever catches. That did work to catch the lever, and the think was there - but it made the electronics even wackier. So the conclusion from the fact that the catch is after the exposure and that catching the lever doesn't fix the problem must mean that there is some internal element that is also triggered by adding the pad. It must reset the metering system as the current exposure is taken and loading the shutter does not affect it.

The only reason I care to understand if that u am having trouble placing a new pad. Mean it is hard to get something in there and leave it in the right place
@phoslurperr3 жыл бұрын
And... Yashica must have been horrible engineers. What a convoluted system. Working perfectly, it thinks when the shutter is charged. They made this convoluted prices depend on a pad. Why? We're their measurements off a couple millimeters? Next they make this pad out of rubber foam which would obviously deteriorate. They put the foam where it is nearly in accessible. They don't make it possible to somehow release the part on which the pad is placed. And finally, they use the same freaking design and system for over a decade and on 3or four generations of this camera as well as several derivative cameras. Why? No other cameras need this second rod and a makeup pad. It's not like the system was so great. By the 2nd gen they should have replaced the lights with an honest to goodness meter, but no. The only change they made was switching from circles in the viewfinder to arrows. Why? Rant over. Just frustrated because I cant get my pad in place and I keep feeding them into the body of the camera. At this rate, before I am finished I will have filled the entire body with hundreds of foam pads! Why???

Wow, you got a FG-20? My first SLR as a 13 year old freshmen taking photography in 1983 was the FG which I bought new for $220. That was the bare bones "Honda Cvic" of the Nikon family. The clunky sound of the shutter was very indicative of the price.
