Dante, I dropped my RF on the floor last week and the Vertical alignment is way off, I saved your post from 2003 for the inevitable day this would happen and...
Don't panic. Put on your peril-sensitive sunglasses on. If you are looking throgh the cap, you should see a toothed wheel. The small wheel is stuck with...
Hi Dante, I cannot afford to panic, as the prospect of finding a good Konica service agent now is bleak. One of the last posts on this forum was from Joop...
Simon: I'll pull my book out of its hiding place, scan the diagrams and instructions, and email them to you. Not much about the disassembly/ reassembly, but...
Dante I still have my peril sensitive sunglasses on and am of the opinion that I might as well have a go myself. I did however read in the latest edition of...
Wow...nice to see a little life in the group! :-) Simon â€" For what it's worth: http://www.webercamera.com/ They do a lot of Konica stuff here in the...
Simon, the last repairs I had done involved my RF lens being sent to Germany for repair. First off they sent back my lens exactly as it was sent, with metal...
Ouch! I was trying to kid myself that the reason Joop had to wait months for his camera was that it was an electronic problem that required a difficult to...
As you know, I sent my HRF off for repair in the end of September, i got it back in March. The internal frame had been broken due to a drop on the ground it...
Well I am going to send mine off as it is clearly not just a matter of re-alignment (it rattles!) At least I have a Leica M7 to fall back on, but as an...

I really enjoyed the commentary in this yahoo group, what happened to everyone? Also I have to tell everyone that I have a Hexar RF and a 28mm Hexanon Lens for...
I sent mine off in June and still have heard nothing. If you are reading this and you have a Hexar RF, it is a great camera, please do not drop it! Simon...
I'm sorry to hear that, Simon. Tomorrow is the first anniversary of my repair..... In the summer I got to use a Leica M6 from my photo store for some weeks. It...
Yeah, but let's get real for a second. Dropping a camera onto a hard surface is always a non-warranty, write-off type of adventure. In early 2000, I dropped...
No activity on this site since September? This must mean that, either nobody is taking pictures any longer OR every body has gone out and purchased the latest...
Until I saw this entry, I forgot I belonged to this list. Still own my Hexar film camera. I had a "rangefinder" urge and went out and took pictures with it....
I miss this list! What little photography I've done in the 2 1/2 years since having a child has been largely family snaps; I caved in this year and bought a...
Thanks for your input Jim. I would be interested to see some of your wedding photos on the Leica and Hexar cameras, I assume you have had no problems swapping...
Thanks for the reply Steve, It is interesting to see people still using the hexar gear to shoot weddings. There seems a lot of interest in seeing the...
Hi Guy, The T3 is a wonderful little camera -- the best point-and-shoot I've used. I almost ended up with a Minilux too. Many of the shots in my short...
Steve, The photos on the link are great. I really like the one that has the mosquito or horsefly or whatever that is flying around. I don't have a Hexar RF any...
I check in once in a while. Busy with assorted stuff, including working on a couple of portfolios to show a curator (anything can happen...). Have a few...
Steve, Wonderful work, and great to hear from you! I had shot a wedding (reluctantly...too nerve-racking for me, but the couple insisted;-) with both Hexars...

I think I've given up all hope of getting my HRF repaired after dropping it all that time ago. Can't imagine that any repair centre still exists that would...
Mine went to Germany for repair in June and I am still waiting, they claim that they have now got the part but I have to wait for a specialist repairer to deal...
That is the kind of story I have heard and why I was asking. As I said earlier, Greg said he could repair them but parts might be a problem. I have not talked...
Ouch. Hope my hexar does not break. However, I'm mostly shooting medium format these days. If I'm going to bother doing the developing stuff, might as well...
I was puttering around with a magnifier for my Kodak 14n and discovered that unleashing a 1.2x on a full-size 35mm. medium- eyepoint, viewfinder was not such a...
