Dropped a Yashica Mat 124G on concrete last Tuesday and cant stop kicking myself
Was working on a Yashica Mat 124G for a customer, had it on my bench getting the winding mechanism sorted. Phone rang, I spun around and my elbow caught it. Hit the floor lens first. Smashed the taking lens, bent the front plate a little. After I finished swearing I pulled the whole thing apart to see if the body itself was straight. Its fine, but now I gotta find a replacement taking lens assembly for a Yashinon 80mm f/3.5. Anyone know a good source for parts cameras or lens groups that might work?

Seems like a lot of drama for a repair job.

Three different neighbors called the cops over a leaky pipe, and now someone's asking if it's "drama." Guess I'll just let my faucet flood the whole block next time.
