I have just moved here in paris a month ago from the philippines to do a small but long project (1 year) here.
My basic gear for the shoot is a DVX100a as main cam and a 3 yr old battered DVX100 as backup/2nd camera. Problem is that my older cam is in a desperate need of servicing and i can cant find anyone here who can at least provide me a parts list with more details or photos than the one found in the Pana parts site.
here's the parts i really need to replace which i cannot be certain with the very limited description in the panasonic list:
1. Focus ring--there is no visible damage but wont hurt me much to replace.
2. plastic with 3 screws where front glass of the lens assembly is attached, i believe it also has the grooves where the focus ring gears rotate. it doesnt do that anymore so i dont have manual focus, i think ive lost (or broken)some locking pin or pins from its frequent disattachments. The screw heads are also busted because of layers and layers of superglue i have applied to attach the no 3 part.
3. part that hold filters, attach the lens hood/shade and the where lens' specs are written: "10x optical Zoom", 72mm, focal length etc. This is a non-moving part but very important.
4. I would also like to replace the front glass if its possible to order it separate from the rest of the lens assembly. it has this annoying clouding and 'rainbow' on the upper right side, i suppose caused by chemical reaction from the superglue. i dont want to touch it fearing i might do more damage. although it doesnt affect much the captured image, i have to be more careful with it handling glare than my other DVX; i got used to it though.
Bought the unit at B & H and i cannot afford to send it to a repair center in the US at this stage of the project.
Im just hoping that there is someone here who can ID the parts for me so that i can order them from the parts center and assemble them myself.
Thanks and more power!
