Lucky find! As long as the digital works, it sounds like someone is/was very lucky....? I have never owned an Olmpus camera but many friend have had and used them for years, both film and digital versions. There is a new interest in Nikon cameras and the prices are increasing on the...

Thank you for your response. Film photography is still fun, I have my favorite cameras... some of which most people have never heard of: Exakta, Topcon, Leotax. Others that are more commomly known: Nikon F, Nikkormat and my beloved Leica IIIc. Over the years I became a bit of a collector while...

Photographing work in progress is my reason to ask about cameras. I have to figure how to post scanned images on ths site??? So far I have not had much luck, Maybe the digital format will be easier? David C

Are there any film camera owners who have delt with KEH to buy or sell cameras and equipment? Just wondering how your experience was and were they honest in value and pricing. The camera market has shifted to digital and it is becoming difficult to find film and get development. I don't...

Does anyone linked to this forum have a Hobbymat MD-65 series lathe? Thanks in advance for any response... David C

I am considering the Fusion Cool 2240 cutting fluid. It is a general application coolant and reports a low odor. Has anyone used this product? The price range is also good and it is sold by the gallon which is a plus for a trial period.

Does anyone know of a low odor coolant to use with my Greymill 5 gallon pump system? A general type coolant for use with assorted metals is prefered. Odor is my concern at this point. I get comments about the smell drifting into the house?

I have found a product called Rustlick 631 it seems to work well for tool protection from ambient moisture and tool use. Just passing it along as a helpful hit. David

I recently obtained a Greenfield 4700 tap and die set but it is missing the #7 tap wrench. Does anyone in this forum have one for sale? David

The two times I sealed or painted an interior of a block wall garage I used my LP gas heater for my prep. Yes, I know walls can sweat but if you dry them with a room temp value 68 to 70 over a full day or 2 the interior walls will dry enough for the paint or sealant to adhere much better...

From my experience if you have a space heater that can warm and dry the interior area of the garage...(24 hours), do that first. Then, take a stiff brush/push broom and go over all the interior walls to knock of any loose materials. After the garage is cleaned out and as dust free as...

What is with Amazon??? They ask for your rating of the purchase then deny the posting of comment. They deny posting if you including anything to do with the shipping process. Example: I received a vintage book on Thursday the order arrived a week early was packaged in an outstanding manner and...

Last June, I purchased a Buck Tools belt/disc sander, I used Amazon. The tool arrived in tact but was missing assembly parts. Two machine screws were not in the packaging. I contacted the manufacture by the posted email and phone number with no results or reply of any kind. I then went to...

I am sure some of you readers will know what I am talking about. I have a hobby in vintage film cameras. I also have another lathe which I associate with that hobby. My Peerless-Marshall (watch makers lathe) is used for making the small camera related parts as needed. This unit has the 12...
