I will make a separate post about this too. In general, i have already changed the gear from this camera to another, to fix the autofocus problem.Īnd i repaired the jammed gear and put it here, and it works great. there was enough such a short time for each tooth to crumple in it. this is the weakest part in these cameras. the sound of the framing motor at the end is just a coincidenceĪnd notice the focus motor gear as i requested earlier.ĭuring this short period of diagnosis, it was badly dented.

I thought what could be the problem, then I noticed that 3 other cameras have a trimming resistor on the focusing motor rotation sensor, which is wired separately.Īnd there is a free place for soldering the jumper on the same contact where the resistor is. Rewinding was working, and i decided that everything was fine with the film advancing / rewind motor.īut in fact rewinding worked only because gray wire touching the metal body of the camera and here was circuit in straight direction.īut for advancing film, power had to be supplied on the gray wire (reversed), which did not happen because the minus of motor was not connected to the board.Īfter complete assembly, I checked everything again.Īfter repairing of shutter leaf of 3rd protective curtain the shutter started to operate correctly without issues.Īt this moment i already repaired most of problems in this camera.īut focusing system still not respond on cpu commands and motor continuous jerks out the lens to the end, regardless of the selected focusing distance and can't find starting position and hits the gears when returns to start. The interesting thing is that when i diagnosed the camera after it started working, i didn't understand that the film advancing was not working. The next step was a shutter repair, for it i was needed to disassemble this camera to the endīy this time, i had already repaired two other cameras with other problems and completely disassembled them, so i immediately realized that this was the wire from the film advancing / rewind motor. I will write about them too in next posts I took a week break to repair others two contax g1. the only M RF with 21/25/28/35/50 frames.After assembly, it became clear that the camera had a broken shutter, screens, film advancing and autofocus - the motor jerked out the lens to the end, regardless of the selected focusing distance Though I would a new Bessa R4a from CameraQuest for $799. it could be adjusted only by design AFAIK) M6/7 are not hand built like the M2-M5 are (except the M4-2 made in Canada with some modular parts.the RF was no longer repaired on this model, just replaced. and the Nikon n-Ai and Ai lenses are fairly cheap also.īUT, Leica's do retain value, and are built very well. F2, FM2n, both sell at reasonable prices. And could be very possible!īut, I understand that $600 is a lot for a film camera.Why I chose Nikon SLRs as my Film cameras. but, it seems to be so with your price returns. Not sure if prices are lower Switzerland. The closed auctions with 1-50 bids results: a few sold at $900-1000 with similar bids placed.ġ sold for $209 as a parts camera, The most M6 ended auctions with bids were between $1100-1300 for the M6 Classic (not TTL) it would have to be an ugly/user to sell for that. $600 for an M6 is really low balling.(in the USA). not sure how eBay redirects for "Country Specific" sites. most averaged around $700-850 in the ended auctions.īTW, these are. There were only a few that sold in the $500 range that were not parts cameras. same as Bessa 2A or 3A without "A" modeĪutomatic versions: Voigtlander Bessa R2A R3Aī&H Bessa R3A $799 NEW!! 35mm Cameras | B&H Photo Video
