Was annoyed at the lack of a shoe mount meter that could clear the weird bump on the Fed-2 so I made my first 3D print design to make a new mount for the Keks KM-Q. #believeinfilm

Trying to figure out what speeds my F-1’s shutter is sticking at. Already had it CLA’d and I’m hesitant to drop more money on repairs unless I can consistently replicate the sticking. Otherwise, another body is probably cheaper. #filmphotography #believeinfilm
