Easiest Way to Remove the Backing from our Premium Foam
Michael found an easy way for anyone to remove the back from our premium black open cell foam. I've been a film camera technician since the late '70s, did I really say that? Yes, the years go by fast when you always find your job interesting, and you learn new techniques. I hope this video helps anyone using our foam. It is the finest foam made, with very high pore count per inch. You will find it in all Japanese, and German cameras. Please note, neoprene is one of the worst products you can install in your film camera. It is a type synthetic rubber, not foam. It does not compress properly, and can distort the back cover. Not one camera manufacturer ever used it their cameras. Ask yourself, do you want to seal your camera from light leaks with black/grayish rubber bands or foam. Thanks for watching this video. Let me know if you have questions. Jerry

Thank you so much
Great video! I tried to repair a Vivitar 200mm f3.5 M42. The aperture is stuck. I decided to remove autofocus mechanism but (I think..) some spring is not tight anymore so the aperture is wide open. The aperture blades start closing at f8 or f11. When I have time, I will continue trying to fix my lens! Thanks for your videos.
This video is pure gold. You are a champion.
Yea. Maybe you might have not shot this in total darkness, wearing black. Cannot see anything to do with top removal.
More videos on foam installation would be great!

Very informative video, clear explanation and tips ,i have the same FE i havent use for years now it is stucked up ,planning to clean it and lubricate ,i am looking for videos on how to ,thanks for your nice video
I rarely comment on UA-cam videos, but damn, I needed this specific info - took the spool thing out to check the light meter adjustment dial and couldn't figure out how to put it back in. Thanks for taking the time to show us this trick!
thanks alot , you saved me
do rewind knob from pentax sp, mx or something is suitable for k1000?
Yes all Pentax Spotmatic cameras and use that rewind shaft on the first style of the K1000 camera. First style K1000 cameras have 3 screws retaining the bottom cover.
This helped a ton, thank you!
Thank you. The Spotmatic I just got came with the cap missing and then the shaft kinda just fell in when I opened the door and pulled on it a little and then would not push up again. I didn't want to take the cover off.
jerry thanks so much! wanted to check this out to make sure i didnt mess anything up on my light seal replacement. thanks!!
