Analogue cameras last a long time when the right parts are available. Battery doors, film spools, shutter latches, and eyecups: everything needed for repairs and restorations, manufactured in-house in Germany.

Film Spools & Film Transport

Without a take-up spool, no film will run. Originals are rare, expensive, and often bent. Our spools are exact reproductions: they fit, sit securely, and transport the film.

Leica Barnack: Quick Load vs. Standard

The standard spool works, but it is fiddlier to load. The Quick-Load version (like Leica SPOOM / 14021) has a slotted core that accepts the film leader without trimming. Anyone who regularly shoots with a Barnack saves 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 compatible with one another. Type 1 fits the OM-1 and OM-1 MD; Type 4 fits the OM-1n and OM-2n. Check carefully before ordering, or send us a photo.
