And then the Ricoh 35 EFS was a huge pain in the ass (needed parts from multiple donors) so I gave it low-quality synthetic orange leatherette from Daiso. But it's done.

I forgot to post on here because Mastodon is kind of stagnant, but the Minolta Hi-Matic F came out great in the end!

That Ricoh is on hold for now and I've been swept up in the crazy world of the Minolta Hi-Matic F. I also set up a wiki to write notes on these cameras where there is no service manual available.

And I've learned how to copper-plate and nickel-plate metal parts and use acid for de-rusting brass... Things are busy around here.
