Here's another couple of Medalist questions for those in the know.
I have a recently purchased a Medalist II. It lacks a lens cap. Originals don't seem easy to find. Does anyone else have this problem? How would you go about getting an original, or what have you used as a substitute (other than sticking a skylight on there)?
My camera focuses well enough, but it would be nice if I could improve things. I want to lubricate the coils myself. For now my shutter seems to behave itself. I would rather handle this DIY than send it out for a CLA at this point. Have you tried this yourself? Did it work, and not cause other damage? If so, what oil did you use?
Many thanks!
Sion, I'm glad you got to the bottom of it. Something to watch out for if I ever get around to using mine again (it's a Mark 1 model):
