[Spleenrippa]

Just came across this on APUG... I wish I had any useful skills at all, let alone this guy's repertoire!

wow now that is dedication to a craft.

I just read that from start to finish and I'm gobsmacked at the guy's diligence and patience. The end result of his labours is absolutely brilliant!

That was so good I'm going to read it again later! 😀

Thanks for posting. 🙂

Holy handgrenade!

i would love to have that level of technical ability, the rangefinder he is working on is very interesting too.

i'd love to be able to make a 'Leica Standard' type camera, no RF and SLR mechanism - scale focus will do 🙂

There's a link at the end for his new project, homemade RF camera.

When he makes his own lenses, then he'll have something.

I'm just getting started on mine. It's gunna be a beaut!

Miroslav Tichy went to far less trouble ... not much machining involved here! 😀

And no discussions about serial numbers!

Dang, that's impressive. Guess he has a lot of free time on his hands...

Or maybe just one of those people who replace sleep with a hobby ... they are around! 😛

I read this some time ago. I liked the design, reminiscent of pre-war "flex" cameras such as the Agiflex and Reflex Korelle (Kilfitt). Amazingly well done. I´ve put together some parts which may be called a camera and can take pictures, but this is on another level altogether.

That's absolutely amazing! What a set of skills that guy has. I need to get a machining course from my grand dad soon. Might come in handy one day...

This is quite darn awesome! 🙂 Thanks for the link. My mate is a professional metal worker, that is highly skilled in working with metal and a master with the lathe and he was truly impressed when I showed him this project. He knows how difficult this is. It requires years and years of experience and training to make parts with this kind tolerance. Not to mention, making it fit together too 😉
