Today, I was invited at some friends place near Paris, and there happened to
be a big collectors of photographic items swap meeting in that town.
I couldn't resist to pay it a visit... and couldn't resist a good looking pen
EES-2 bargain at 15€, complete with lens cap and pouch. Happy !
Looked closer on my way home : aperture stuck. Not happy. But well, not a big
lost and nice item anyway, so... mixed feelings.
Back home, fire up internet, find tutorial labeled "the easyest photo
tinkering : cleaning a pen EES-2's aperture" ; Very Happy !!!
Tried it, and first thing I do is an enormous mistake : I ripped off the 2
wires coming out of the CdS cell while lifting the lens assembly, just after
firing it once showing that it was indeed working 1 second before.
Really distressed at the moment. I will attempt to solder it back, but I'm a
bit clumsy in this departement, and I'm not tooled for electronic tinkering.
Snif. I hate being at the root of a worsening situation. At least it takes
pictures in manual, but that's really limited (only on speed of 1/30 instead
of 1/30 and 1/200).
