There's a new short GrumpyTim video - looking at a 1961 Soviet made KMZ "Start" camera with a 13 blade Helios 44 lens, and we make a 3D printed lens mount adapter to test the lens on a modern digital camera. https://t.co/WImNSLp5gN

There's a new GrumpyTim video out - this is a second look at a 1968 Nikkor-H 50mm f2 lens. In the video we'll replace the damaged rear element and then test the lens. https://t.co/8yZPzmuPqc

I was given Isle of Man Monopoly for Christmas - guess this the closest I'll get to actually being there at the moment. Hope all my #isleofman friends are having a great Christmas.

We have another GrumpyTim Vintage Lens Test video - this time we're looking at a Soviet made Jupiter-8M from the 1970s. Happy Christmas folks, see you in 2021. https://t.co/cc8JbLrHYV

The second GrumpyTim video looking at the 1964 Sumlock Comptometer 993s is now ready to watch on YouTube - this time we're demonstrating the machine, including how to do division on a key driven comptometer... https://t.co/x67o0Dr6LH

There's another GrumpyTim vintage lens test video to watch - this time it's a Vivitar 28mm f2.5 from the 1970s - and a bit of woodturning without a lathe too. https://t.co/t6LHlUhsNx

Patr two of the TAIR 3 Phs 300mm f4.5 Soviet Spy Lens is now out - this episode is shorter than the part one "repair" video. In part two we'll get to test the lens on a camera to see how it performs. https://t.co/pl6XIGPHip

[Tim Richmond @TimRichmondPIX]

The latest GrumpyTim video is here - a 1960s Soviet Spy Lens - the TAIR 3, 300mm f4.5. In the video we'll fix a number of issues including the aperture mechanism and cleaning the optics. https://t.co/Lw5C9p33FB @ReallyGrumpyTim

@MeurigReesJones Oooh, that looks so perfect, wish I was there.

Missed out on a trip to this place this year - Isle of Man Motor Museum, probably the best motor museum in the world. Maybe next year.... Hope everyone is doing ok over there - it rained quite a bit a couple of weeks after I last visited, how's everyone in Laxey? #isleofman

[Tim Richmond @TimRichmondPIX]

Struggling to keep up with the weekly videos at the moment but here's a new one - it's another vintage lens repair, complete with all the reasons why you shouldn't attempt to polish out a scratch on a camera lens https://t.co/enWHpC3Cu2

[Tim Richmond @TimRichmondPIX]

In the latest GrumpyTim video we're taking another look at the Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 lens and seeing how radioactive it is in relation to some other household objects.

@RJWCrafts Hahahahaha, no I'm not laughing, honest - done that, it's such fun!!!!!!

[Tim Richmond @TimRichmondPIX]

@RJWCrafts What a state!!! I never look like that........

[Tim Richmond @TimRichmondPIX]

We have another vintage lens repair video - this time it's the iconic Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 from around 1967. The lens had a damaged filter thread so we'll fix that and then test the lens. https://t.co/WP1V6LoWIr

[Tim Richmond @TimRichmondPIX]

The latest GrumpyTim video is out - this time fixing a vintage Makinon camera lens that had haze on the inner elements - the video shows the process as the lens is dismantled and cleaned, followed by a short lens test. https://t.co/GTm0sIsFNq

We have a new toy - a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super B from around 1964. It spent a couple of days on the workbench while I fixed an issue with the shutter and cleaned the optics. Now loaded with B&W film for some good old school photography. #filmphotography #35mmfilm

@RJWBlacksmith Haha, I know that feeling - wood chippings, cobwebs, whatever I've been working on - sometimes small creatures!!!
