I did start posting on here some time ago, but life as always threw me some amazing curves. (Left partner, found partner, etc!).
Anyway, the reason for coming back to the obvious place for trusted advise is as follows...
I recently had the great fortune to buy a job lot of equipment. And tucked away in a box was this rather intriguing metal case. I was curious! I knew I had to be gentle as I knew not how these catches allowed the box to open. After a little teasing she allowed me in! If you could have seen my face. Truly a kid at Christmas! I could not believe my eyes! When I finally got it set up and extended, and saw that first crisp image on the ground glass focussing screen I very nearly cried! This old girl has to be used! This is where (hopefully) you kind people come in!
Right. After doing a little research, I have an MPP Micro Technical Mk Vii... Fitted with a Scneider Xenar 4.7/135 And it all seems to work. I have no darkslide but am trying to acquire one as we speak.
So, where do I start? Can anyone point me to a good place to learn all the movements? Have looked on MPPUSERS.yadda but can't seem to find any sought of instructions on use. Are the lightseals on the darkslide, as there seem to be none on the back of camera? What is Copal N0.0? I am under the impression it is something to do with the style of shutter? I could go on... Any advice would be gratefully received. I just don't know where to start!
I figured if anyone knows how to get this old bird flying, they'd be here!
Thanks for reading...
