To clear some space for new products (no longer a problem with our new host), we removed Lubricating Camera Mechanisms, Cleaning Optics and Testing Shutter Speeds from the General Articles. We still provide these articles on CD along with some new materials. See, Infotech CD's.
Most of the tools and supplies mentioned in the articles are available from Fargo Enterprises (see our Links page).
We'd like to hear from you. Please let us know by email what you like or dislike—and especially what subjects you'd like to see covered. Your comments will help us in writing more tutorials for your use.
Note: If you're using the tutorials online, you'll notice that some figure-number references, parts references, or illustration references are links. Clicking on a link brings up the appropriate illustration. In some cases, the text refers to a figure that would otherwise require scrolling back in the text.
