This beauty SV remind me my S1. Have a look:





Fully working S1 with Leica's Metraphot lightmeter sitting on top. Meter is working, but reads about 2-3 EVs lower, so its more for show, than for real need of metering.

Yes, ME F gives beep and focus confirmation even with manual lenses.

Here is my one (with working AF 35-70) compared with black ME siting on the winder. Autofocus in this lens is terribly slow these days, but its nice to see (and hear) how it works: vrvrvrvrvrvr vrvrvr vr vr. VR! vrvrvr vrvrvrvrvrvrvr vrvrvr vr vr vr vr vrvrvr vr. VR! Beep! :)

First of all, I try to remove dust and tiny particles with a strong jet of air from a rubber bulb (the bulb has to be free of powder). Also, the simple wiping with soft and repeatedly washed cotton T-shirt will do no harm to the front lens, and after that any tiny leavings are easy to blow out.


And when the front element is very dirty and blowing or wiping doesnt work, I figured, that good result gives the very gentle wiping the front lens with a soft sponge dampened with diluted, not aggressive detergent, then sponge off a possible foam with a damp cloth, aid then wipe the lens dry. Of course, be careful that no water gets inside, the sponge should be damp but not dripping.

To all of you talking about my photographs - thanks so much for your kind words!






And answering - my secret about the lack of dust: this is because I cleaned the cameras (and the base) with good old Mr Proper mixed with a decent dose of heavy water bought on black market. The dust has no chance!

Kidding of course! Dont try to do it at home... The secret is so simple, that I'm ashamed that I came to this so late. Thus - before the session I thoroughly cleaned the cameras, and then during the session I blow to the 'scene' with a rubber bulb every minute, or so... This is why there is no dust or spesks, and they look like kept in dustproof box. These cameras were bought on ebay mostly and they do have abrasions, scratches, paint loss, etc - as every common used items. I am really glad to know, that they look like being new to you - because this was my work to clean them and make them shine and glitter.

And it was my work to light them up and take a picture. :)







You know - the heavy water often add sharpness to the reflection.

It is not my last word in that matter, I've got some more - but they're just waiting for taking portraits.

Oh, and thanks to both of you for your kind words about my photographs.
