Did you consult your owners manual or check with your service advisor.

I am so impressed with the number of super intelligent people on this website. I include myself of course. The superior intellect here is just outstanding or instanding or even upstanding, possibly withstanding as well.It is an honer to be amongst you.

I found that when replacing the ISO bearings, it's better to stick to OEM parts and never with 3rd party. The cost for the replacement is substantial no matter which way you go. If you stick with higher ISOs, you'll find that replacement is often never needed IMHO.


Misstatement here Iblann. “. . the ISO bearings.” In every camera I have ever owned, film and digital, the was only a SINGLE ISO bearing. Thirty lashes, and all that dtuff, okay?

I was thinking about checking into having my ISO bearings replaced or at least checked. Does anyone know how many photons they can absorb before they need service? Can I just have them cleaned, or do I have to get new ones? Or is it the noise that primarily clogs them up?

I've always read that ISO has a bearing on noise, so it made me wonder even where these bearings are located? I've always assumed it was similar to dual pixel technology, where it is embedded in the sensor array. I know it has to do with the deep well capacity of the photosites, so the bearings must be at the bottom of the well? Do full frame cameras need the bearings changed less often because they have greater well capacity?

WTF. The iso Bearings are where the Nutrinos are ignored by the Gallium Oxide. Lubercate then with dilithium plasma.

In order to check for bearing damage you will need an Argyle Pump. A regular Plaid Pump or the hard to find Paisley Pump will not do the job. Hope this helps.


Not to mention a framistat and a skyhook, two of my father's favorite tools. When combined with your suggestions, it's a lock on the repair. I once removed the precision wheel bearings from my roller skates and tried them in my camera, but they were too big. OMG. He HAD to be joking. I applaud him. In these times, we all need a good laugh.

I love how the cookies for the keyword "bearing" prompted this ad right in the middle of these responses:

Babbitt Bearing Repair - Cleveland, Ohio
Cleveland Rebabbitting Services has been repairing and babbitting bearings for 55 years.


Now that's an almost lost art!

I found that the bearings in my 7Dmark ll are the same size as the old ASA bearings I had in my AE1 so I swapped them and have no problems at all.
