Some DIY Repair links

[Alex Bishop-Thorpe]

I just thought I'd share some of the links I've come across in my recent tinkering. Keep in mind I haven't repaired much myself, but I am an inquisitive sort, so you might find some of this handy.

Lens Collimation:
Building an Auto collimator, By Mark Overton, 2000
Collimation with an SLR

Russian Rangefinders/FSU Stuff:
FED and Zorki Survival Site, Jay Javier
Kiev Survival Site, lots of excellent general information too
Disassembly notes on many Russian RF lenses, general rangefinder repairs

Tools, General:
Basic Sound Card Shutter Tester
More Advanced Shutter Tester
Rick Oleson's Camera Tech Notes
Daniel Mitchell's notes (Lots on leaf shutters)
KYPhoto, Lots of good general information
Microtools - if you need it to fix a camera, they probably sell it.
Lens wrench, by SK Grimes

Each of these have a lot of useful information, and most have their own pages of links to investigate too.
