I’d like to ask the group if anyone has any literature on repairing and maintaining cameras and lenses.
I often come across lenses locally that I can buy cheaply, which, for example, have a bit of mould on the inside of the front element. There are also plenty of cameras being sold very cheaply because something isn’t working properly. It would be a nice challenge to try and get them working again.
If anyone knows of any books or websites on the subject, I’d be very grateful for a tip. You do occasionally find things in forums on very specific topics, but nothing fundamental.
Thanks and best regards
Tim

You never know how long these pages will remain online.
