Olympus 35RD: Fully back together and testing well. Focus plane and rangefinder calibrated (best efforts). Photo of the “sticky shutters” teardown included.

Love the looks, the latest high-end $$ fixed focus digitals from Fujifilm try to replicate this.

Olympus 35RD Rangefinder: Waiting on some Walkman parts so I thought I would tackle this. It could be a bad idea but following a YouTube video for guidance. Shutters are sticky so the whole thing essentially needs to come apart. Disassembly only partly done….
