[Leica] IMGs - camera problems

[Douglas Barry]

Baseplate for Pentax MX taking a dip in vinegar with a bit of help 
waiting from Italy and Hungary. Fuji X100S.

My son wanted to use a film camera when he went to Berlin last weekend, 
but my two Pentax ME Supers turned out to have wind on issues and needed 
attention. They're not going to get any until the cooler shorter 
evenings draw in over the winter, so I dug out a Pentax MX which used to 
work fine the last time I used it. Sadly the battery cover was stuck - 
hence the vinegar bath. I freed it after a good soak, and ran a film 
through it, but discovered the shutter curtains were capping at the 
higher speeds. It's another job for the winter. I gave him one of my 
Spotmatics which thankfully worked. On the MX shutter capping, does 
anyone have a link to photos of the brake lube point?

Industar 50 - Given this lens along with a few old film cameras and 
lenses by a friend of mine a few weeks ago. The lens had been picked up 
by him in Dresden in 1990 a few months after the Berlin wall fell and 
has a rough (badly hand made) leather case with the initials VP in 
Cyrillic on it. However, when the lens is held up to the light, it tells 
a sad story of living with a fungal infection for far too many years, 
and has reached paperweight status. Sony A7ii with a 28-70 macro zoom - 
I think.
