Testing a Kiev 5 after some DIY repair (stuck frame counter, stripped nut in the winding arm). I spent years gathering Zeiss lenses, on and off, I'd like a platform to use these.

I hope it works, I really don't intend to do this regularly 😬

Last week-end I hauled home these lathes, at least 10kg of rusty steel...

1 WW pattern 8mm Boley
1 8mm Lorch, incomplete
2 older Lorch 6mm
+ lots of useful bits and pieces

Not critical for me as I have what I need already, but it makes me sad seeing these rust away.

I've been given a Nikon D810, it will replace my D800 which has focus problems. No more taking 5 close ups to have one sharp! Also, the mirror feels more damped. 😀

=> Pictures, yay! Vintage french thingies I got recently (glass cartridge #fountainpen, Gibbs adjustable razor)

Back to work last week, with among other things a balance staff swap.
1 remove hairspring & roller
2 machine off the broken staff from the balance itself (on the lathe)
3 mount the new staff with a punching stake
4 put back everything in the same place

After years waffling about my Hassy 500 (service it? get a 80 instead of the 100 I don't like much? get a C/M and be able to focus a shot in less than 2 minutes with a proper screen?)...

I got a SL66. 😅

Now, how many 'flexes are too many? I may sell the 500 and the 2.8C if the SL66 feels OK.

Preparing a small serie for an exhibition in September.

I think I got the order right?

Played around recently with old brass Leitz reloadable cassettes and compatible bulk loaders. It makes quick 10rolls tests much easier.
The foma 200 I used isn't bad at all!

Some cool 1940s watches (stainless steel/shockproof/waterproof, very advanced for the time) from the casemaker Schmitz frères

Sorting the projects drawer lately... at least a dozen things waiting to be necromanced. On top of my usual work, and my own watches waiting for service.

😅

For example : WW2 RAF Jaeger aircraft clock, Mark II Speedmaster, Benson/Cyma in sterling silver, KS45 Seiko hi-beat.
