idk anything about film photography but the shutter timing and light seals seem to be okay? idk, I'll get a roll of film and take it for a test drive
would've preferred a fully manual camera but it'll do for now

I've never understood why drill manufacturers use those dinky little LEDs that light up when you half press the trigger. ah yes, let's illuminate everything EXCEPT the thing we want 😭😭😭

even though I've fixed it for now, I can't actually use the lens because first I'll need to get 3mm tap to make new threads for it. after getting both the spring and new holes, it should be completely operational

there is something I can do to help the spring though. there's this pin at the back of the lens which probably interfaces with something in a native m42 mount camera. when the pin is pressed down it closes down the aperture. I can just put tape on it and it'll push on the aperture rod

I shortened the spring by taking it and wrapping the un-wound section around the silver pole a couple of times. the aperture still feels a bit sluggish at times but it feels usable at least

the black piece is connected to the aperture ring with a metal bracket. thus when you set the aperture ring to f/22, the spring pulls the silver piece back and the black piece doesn't impede its movement. when you set the ring to, for example, f/4, the black piece moves the silver piece back

"so what's the black piece doing?" you may ask. well that actually opens the aperture. it kind of acts like a brake - if it's all the way down, the aperture is *allowed* to go down to f/22, and if the spring is put to the other side to constantly pull the aperture closed, it works as intended

the beast has been conquered. their pillar drill had some damage so we couldn't use a 1-2mm bit on it because they were too small so we ended up just doing it with a hand drill. this metal stick with the spring controls the aperture, and if I move it by hand, it actually works fine!
