• get the pneumatic shutter professionally serviced
  
• or, get the 101mm lens / shutter assembly off of a Kodak 620 and try that.

Maybe I'll just do both!

We went over to Guildford (about 10 miles away from me) to pick it up. Total cost £nil. Now that's my kind of camera; but I'd never heard of Beauty cameras and I don't think they're exactly a well-known make, so this is my take on these 'unknown' cameras. This camera dates from the ...

I'd wanted a Leica for many, many years and I finally got one. But it was just the body, no lens; for the lens I had to raid my FED-2 camera and Jupiter-26 50mm lens - at least until Feb '08 when I managed to get the funds together for a Red Scale Elmar 5cm f3.5. Since that time, I've loved using the camera and I'd built up an expectation of what it would be like to use a Leica. I wasn't disappointed. The separate ...

The seller assured me it had been serviced, and although I've no reason to suspect anything otherwise, it surely could not have it's internal O-rings changed. The only place I know that can do this is Southern Nikonos over in the US, and they didn't recognise the serial number as one they had serviced. It's in great condition ...
