This fix requires a lot of discipline and patience ⬇️

The shutter’s leading cable needs to be tensioned, or the closing curtain doesn’t kicks-in on slow times.

It’s a frequent issue with unserviced Pentax MX-es, but not documented anywhere.

#pentax #camerarepair #analogphotography #vintagecamera
I took a picture of a Pentax MX I disassembled because the shutter remains open. The MX is a all-mechanical camera, as time passes, the thin, strong, cable that activates the shutter must be re-tensioned. It’s a hello of a job that induce a lot of respect for those who once worked on the assembly line putting these miniaturisation marvels together.

How can we blame the algorithm, given the content of that site.
The image shows that Bluesky considers a link to whitehouse.gov a source of disinformation. How can we blame the algorithm?

A real-life Cheshire Cat patiently waiting for the door of a store in Haarlem to open. Haarlem is a cat-friendly city; I have seen many of them around with that attitude like: “I am the boss here”

The usual route to repairing a Pentax camera post K-series.
Almost all the ME, ME Super I encounter have the same issue (gummy washers in the mirror box). It takes me four to six hours to resurrect one ✌️

A Pentax ME stripped down to her chassis and mirror box The mechanism of mirror return in the Pentax M series Usually this washer gets gummy and blocks the mirror lock. The mirror stays up and the camera is useless. What remains of the TPU washer after 50 years of service. 🪦

A bellied man stares at a group of Egyptian geese that are apparently unperturbed by his presence. The man is the guardian of an open air museum in Antwerpen, where many wild animals make their home/nest. One can see the symbiosis between animals and humans in this picture.
