My Dad has given me a his Contax 139.
The camera shutter jams intermittently and I wondered if any members knew someone who could refurbish/fix the camera.
I have put in new batteries so this is not the problem.
I live In Essex and can go to London so I would be grateful if anyone could recommend someone who could get it back to working order.
Cheers

Open the back and hit the shutter with some Ballistol to loosen it up.
Should work fine after that.
Ballistol is a German product invented during WWI and still used today for emergency treatment of burns or cleaning of wounds and in camera and gun shops/clubs all over Central Europe.
It is the national drink of Slovakia. Also available in non alcoholic versions

Can confirm, Ballistol is the absolute shit. It does smell like, well I can't really describe it but I think it's disgusting.
Pentax as a brand is the epitome of uncoolness and irrelevance, the kind of name that slapped on anything makes it look and feel 10x cheaper than it actually is.
Why wouldn't Ricoh just get rid of this burden and start its camera business afresh?
>>3139879
The Pentax kr was my first camera, I really enjoyed it. I used that baby for years until the shuttebox died at 25k snaps
the K1 is the best full frame digital camera available right now
prove me wrong
>>3139912
Nikon D850 is better.

I think about the philosophy/art of photography all the time and I want to talk about it with a friend but he just says "shoot whatever you want" and "who cares" and I want to talk about it with /p/ but you guys probably get shit like this all the time.

thanks for supporting an untalented moron by immediately spreading every bullshit which lefts his rotten mouth. could you not just find it rediculous in private? you are the reason that those idiots get attention just for the sake of being idiots.

>photographer is the reason the photo sucks
but we already knew that
>>3141967
He's literally calling out gearfags in this video yet you still don't care because you're on the fro hate bandwagon. Whether you like it or not he's done more for the photography industry than you ever will. Watch the video before spouting out bullshit.
Looking for Canon 4K cameras for cinematography in the $1.5-2.5k range. Is it true the 5d mark III can be hacked to produce 4K video similar in quality to the Mark IV? If so that's a $1000 savings.
>still using Canon for video in current year
get an a7R II or GH5 already
>>3141667
Is the GH5 better for video than the A7SII?
>>3141801
No, there are very few cameras that will produce better 4k than the a7s2. Even the canon 5dmk4 has shit 4k compared to even the sony a6300

It's the photos you didn't intend to take that sometimes come out to be the best ones.

Is the withering also unintentional

if that counts as one of the best ones then you should sell your camera asap

Use a manual lens that doesn't communicate with the body.

So im about to buy a new DSLR in a year or so,
budget is ~700$ for body only,
So far ive decided on eos 200d, what are other options? Tell me cons and pros pls.
>>3140573
I'm sure this could have been asked in the gear general
DSLR, your choice is pretty much Canon or Nikon, coke or pepsi, ect. They are the same and if you ask the sales person they will sell you whatever has the biggest sales intensive (makes them the most money).
you could pentax a shit, but then no one would ever care and your photos will be bad
well actually i thought of pentax cause one of my friends shoots a pentax k7 and the photos are actually good
Which one should i get?

Is it just me or does micro four thirds actually look like film?
>>3139269
yes, it's the only sensor size that can accurately replicate film
>>3139269
It os the combination of heavy grain in low iso, beightly lit pictures that does it for you.
Take a picture at ISO 6400 in daylight with a fullframe camera and then apply chronatic noise reduction and you get a similar image.
I saved for over a year and I'm 40 dollars away from affording one.
Talk me out of getting this. What's a better camera that I can get for $1000?
I'm using it strictly for video. I only really want to make shorts and music videos with it. So photos are not really in my interest with it.
I'm aware of the m43 meme but for my budget, it seems like the best bang for my buck.
>>3139188
>seems like the best bang for my buck.
It is, but consider Fuji t-20 and Sony a6300. I'd still go g85 purely for video.
>>3139188
m43 is fine for video though, go for it.
>>3139188
>four thirds
You can get any DSLR with APS-C sensor and it will be much better than getting a four thirds. Just get a D3400
>video
Just get yourself vlogging cameras like RX100 that can record 4k video
