Pair of Contax II's and a Contax IIIa to Eddy Smolov, A Leotax D-IV to Youxin. The Leotax was a complete disaster, looks like new now.

Lenses, I pretty much do myself. Including soaking the 5cm f1.5 Simlar focus mount for three days in Ronsonol to get the gunk out. It was frozen solid.

I have worked on a few lenses...one was the Vivitar Series 1 135mm 2.3...the aperture blades were a bit slow...it turned out that the linkage for the blades was a bit bent and binding..I was able to get that one going...another one was a Bausch & Lomb "Tessar" mounted in an Ilex #4 Universal shutter...The shutter was a tad slow and I was having problems with the "B" setting...the shutter mechanical works just need to be cleaned, the grease was old and hard and a few burrs needed filing...
I have a Nikon 135mm 2.8 lens that needs attention...The aperture isn't as snappy as the other lenses I have...it's like the spring isn't tight enough when closing down the blades...that one's sitting on the shelf for now...as I don't use it much...I might get it fixed later-no big hurry...

Just had my Nikon 105 2.5 in S mount cleaned and re-lubed by I Stan Nycz of International Camera here in Toronto.
Had two Nikon FMs which were recently given to me CLA ed as well as having broken DOF lever on one replaced by Mr. Fung at Winball here in Toronto.
Finally, installed Nikon F2 advance lever plastic tip on my SP rangefinder. This one I did myself, (as I already did on my two S3s).
