All CLA'd and ready to go! Rehydrated the leather on the SX-70 and both cases and it made a world of difference in appearance. Also got the focus ring freed up of the Hollywood and cleaned up the viewfinder. The lens has a little fungus on it, but it's a two element lens glued into the aluminum holder so it will be a little difficult to get them out. I'll run a test roll and see if it makes that big of an impact on the film. Completely cleaned and lubed both cameras and oiled/rehydrated the leather cases. The exposed film in the Hollywood turned out it was just spun through and never exposed, so a bust on that. Now for some test shots! #craftexhollywood #polaroidsx70 #polaroidsearsspecial #polaroid #sx70 #trl #instantfilm #instantcamera #twinlensreflex #vintagecamera #620filmcamera #620film #620rollfilm #camerarescue #camerarestoration #classiccamerarevival #alysvintagecameraalley #oldcamera #rustoration #restoration #shootfilmstaybroke #shootfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotographyproject #filmphotography #filmcamera #waistlevelviewfinder #landcamera (at Wayne County, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKxqS99seZj/?igshid=f6r8az8red05

Carrying the torch - in my explorations, I have come to realize that analog camera repair is a dying art. There are just a handful of experts left in the world that have intimate knowledge on keeping particular models running. It feels like archeology digging up old websites and forum posts to follow their footsteps. #camerarestoration #analogphotography #projects #rollei #rolleiflex (at Berkeley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/By_76Ooj0wB/?igshid=1mpzfjlq6t7j5

Started replacing the moldy leatherette on my #rolleicord. It looks much nicer and smells fresher already. #vintagecamera #camerarepair #oldcameras #ishootfilm #filmisnotdead #tlr #camerarestoration

Just like the lenses, I gave the camera a thorough clean and restore. Got a lot of practice polishing chrome and removing rust on various metals. #camerarestoration #vintagecamera #graflexcrowngraphic #graflex (at Berkeley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-rpqXlMI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xppdfstvs8s1
