Repair & Spare Parts

Analog cameras last a lifetime — if the right parts are available. Battery doors, film spools, shutter latches, and eyecups: everything needed for repairs and restorations, made in-house in Germany.

Film Spools & Film Transport

No film runs without a take-up spool. Originals are rare, expensive, and often bent. Our spools are exact reproductions — fits perfectly, holds securely, transports safely.

Leica Barnack: Quick Load vs. Standard

The standard spool works but is fiddlier to load. The quick-load version (like Leica SPOOM / 14021) has a slotted core that holds the film start without trimming. If you regularly shoot with a Barnack, you save 30 seconds of frustration per roll.

Covers

Hot shoe covers and focusing screen covers protect sensitive contacts and glass surfaces. Small but critical for preserving value.

Olympus OM: Four hot shoe types

Olympus used four different hot shoe designs across the OM series. The covers are not interchangeable. Type 1 fits the OM-1 and OM-1 MD, Type 4 fits the OM-1n and OM-2n. Look closely before ordering — or send a photo.
