[pure-silver] Re: (Slightly) OT: mirror and OM4

DEAR COR,
        The position of the mirror is CRITICAL regarding focus.  Further, if
it is a beam splitter (what you called a half pass through mirror) anything
you get on it will influence its transmission.  This is a job for a pro
repair person if you want your camera to work properly.
        I empathize with your concerns about cost and shipping for repair.
Living in Barbados I have to send my cameras to the US or Europe to get
anything beyond basic cleaning and maintenance done which makes it VERY
expensive.  Though I still shoot mostly film, I shoot medium format and
larger but I LOVE my Leica M-3.  The shutter has drastically failed and I
have no choice but to ship it overseas.  I do not make any money with this
camera so it will be a sacrifice of love to pay for this.    
                CHEERS!
                        BOB

Hi,I have this nice Olympus OM4 of which the mirror came loose from its
metal holder (whatever you call it). Luckily it did not break, but I would
like to have some advice which glue to use to stick it back. Should I remove
the remains of the old glue, which looks a bit tricky.

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Cor

  Indeed you are right. The first such "middleware" or "hybrid"
products are coming to market.

I am just in the process of testing a new film by Rollei, called
Rollei Scanfilm CN 400 Pro. Its a 400 ASA film, especially "designed
for easy scanning" according to Rollei. Its a colour negative film
without the orange base (i.e. unlike the Kodak 400 CN, IIRC). This
should make scanning simpler (like a slide film) but it also allows
colour AND b/w prints. So you get easy access to the d :-)
world with the good archival properties of film.

BTW they are also introducing Rollei SD - Slide Direct which is a
direct black and white slide film like AGFA Scala. I will try this as
soon as I can get my hands on it. Apparently its also easy to develop
it at home (unlike Scala which needed special machine processors).

Love,
Snoopy
