Canon A-1 broken lens release button

Canon A-1 broken lens release button

Canon a-1 broken lens release button, when trying to push the small metal tab in under where the button used to be, it doesn’t move at all. Lens seems to be mounted correctly. Also not sure if the dead battery has anything to do with it. Thanks

DP1 viewfinder fungus

Hey, so I just picked up a Nikon F2 that appears to be in really good condition. Upon further inspection I noticed that there is fungus behind the DP1 viewfinder glass. Does this mean that the whole camera is screwed or is it possible to get it professionally cleaned? Would it be cheaper to just buy a new DP1? Thanks.

Missing Screw

Hey friends! Hoping someone might know the size screw I need to replace here? Bonus points if you know where I can snag one. I believe this is a 3.5 MX extra extra bonus points if you correct me lol

Olympus Inner Lens

Used it one time pictures were clear, brought it to the philippines and when I got my pictures back they were very hazy. Anyone know if it's possible to clean that inner lens part? Not sure if it's condensation or fungus. It's an Olympus Infinity Stylus Zoom 70. Very much a beginner in regards to film cameras lol. Thanks!

Canon AE-1 Shutter not firing.

My camera was unused for sometime now, I changed the batteries and the shutter wasn't firing. I removed the base plate and the shutter fired when I nudged the spring a bit.

Pressing half shutter button oscillates the meter needle rapidly. I don't know if the batteries are weak or there's some issue with the camera.
