Wow - that's amazing!😮 Incredible work - now you can say that is old new camera! Thank you for showing! P. S.: I wonder which was the very first camera you ever fixed?
Oh that is too cool. I had one for my first real camera. I bought it in 1983. I kept it for 2 years and then traded it in for and a - 1. I still have my A1.
This is incredibly impressive for sure. The skills, knowledge, patience required! But in practical terms, is it really worth it when you can find Canon AE-1s on Ebay, in pretty good condition, for less than $100? I even just saw one for $35.
Yes. That’s right. Economy wise, it is better to buy mint condition one. I did it as a reference video for someone who what to know more about Canon AV-1, even though my video could not cover all the CLA process.
Hello from Brazil! I follow your channel a short time ago and I am amazed when I see your restoration work! Very rich in detail! Congratulations! Could you help me with a situation? I have a silver AV-1 that I bought in an antique shop and that I am taking care of gradually. When I select the self-time function, it doesn't count alone when I press the shooter. She only ends the count by holding the shooter. What could it be? Would it be something simple to solve? I have some knowledge in electronics. I would be very grateful if I could help myself with this. See you!
You don’t need macro lens. Just use the normal lens but not wide angle lens. The longer the lens the better you can see the sharpness. IMO the true collimator use 150 or 200mm equivalent lens I think.
We need more people to be able to restore old cameras. Mind boggling the amount of small parts involved. Great videos
Man... I never comment but... THIS IS F*** ART! 🤯🤯🤯 Your work should be on a museum.
Follow. ❤❤❤
Beautiful restoration-truly a labor of love, but unfortunately the time spent is way more than its value.
I have a black one and a 1982 World Cup edition chrome one. These are very underrated cameras, I just ❤ mine
No stone unturned, well done!
Finally a real and professional restoration channel! Great work!
That was mind-blowing. You are truly talented! Beautiful work!
Insanely professional and beautifully filmed. Looking forward to more from you VR.

What glue was that used for the leatherette? I have a couple of pieces that came off a Nikon F2, and I'd like to glue them back on.

So any lens will work for testing infinity focus or just macro? And thanks for that tip!

👏👏👏
Any plans with Minolta A2? :(
I will definitely do the Minolta A2.
A lot of work for a camera on which you can't even set the shutter speed.
This look like digital
