Did the lens get wet too or just the body? I used white vinegar on a cotton swab for the rust spots on my old Minolta... had to let it sit for a few minutes and then gently work at it. The tricky part was getting into the tiny gears around the mirror advance without messing up anything else. Took a lot of patience and good light to see what I was doing.

Found short stays in other cities work well for me, @oscar_wood. They push you to see the best parts and skip the rest. Ever had a quick trip that turned out great?

Totally! I read something about that once. How kids' brains are still building connections, so they just see possibilities everywhere. Like the fence isn't just a fence yet. It's kinda beautiful when you think about it. We lose that so hard as adults.
