When Gerry wasn't working on your M4-2, he was probabaly working on mine. They travelled an awful lot. I had two that had to have the rangefinders replaced with M4 finders, and then they were fine.</p>

If you take the column off the baseboard and refinish the baseboard, when you reassemble everything, the baseboard to lens distance should remain the same. If you refinish it with the column in place, then that will have an effect. If you could have the appropriate amount removed with a precision planer, then adding the Formica would still keep the same distance board to lens flange.

 

And I was under the impression that it was the individual lens and cam that were calibrated together.

Oxide - The G9 is indeed capable of shooting RAW, and will also shoot RAW + JPG.

Must be nice to live in Amerika.

Is it possible that the rewind shaft is the same as the Nikon F? The bodies, except for overall size because of the prism and mirror box, were identical in layout. If that is the case, then you can probably find a junker F and have the rewind transplanted.

Robert McCurly.....is that on Broadway, near Tootsie's, not too far from this one?<div></div>

There are, around the world, different "Zones" for DVDs. Is it possible that, as you recorded your DVD in Europe or Asia, it won't play back in North America, (if that is now where you are.) You may be able to change the Zone of your DVD to the area where you were, and then back again. I think you get 5 changes, then game over.

 

Just a wild guess.

I have the same thing happening on my laptop as you are having happen with yours. I keep the profile chooser open and minimized and just keep resetting it. Never had the resolution change. Really annoying. Doesn't happen on my desktop with XP.

I also received an invitation to post photos. Looks like I'd be one of just another 60,000 photographers on the site. Have not decided yet. But how many are there on P.N? A lot more than on Saatchi as far as I know, and we post here. It certainly is a significant and well known gallery, but whether you can sell work through it is the question. At least it is free, so nothing is lost in posting work with them.

Anyone who listens and understands listening to radio will understand the why of B&W photography.

Brad...you have gone from tedious to totally irrelevant. your comments don't connect to anything previously said, UNLESS....there has been some 'editing' on this thread that has been removed before I read your whatevers.

 

Bob Todrick does make some salient points...so many people taking 'professional' photos have no clue why the photos do or don't work, but PhotoShop will help them out, will save their arse in the crunch because they have no idea of how the hell to use a camera.

 

And Trevor...you are bordering on the irellevant also....I doubt if Gene Smith threw his batteries into the ocean, or bay, and even if he did, unless they were broken so that the Mercury was seeping out they would not have been a problem...but of course you do have a point....and the irony is well pointed out.

 

About cameras and Smith, it appears he used anything he could get. Canon, Minolta, Leica...(not sure I heard of him using Nikons though.) But, so what?

For a great breakfast, go to Senza La at the corner of Rue Barnard and Avenue De L' Esplanade (in the St-Urbain/St-Viateur area). The prices are remarkably low and the food is great. The Peel Pub still has cheap lunches and don't forget that Happy Hour is from 3PM until 7PM...half price 20oz pints in many places. Try Rue St-Denis above and below Sherbrooke for interesting stores and Rue Duluth for good modestly priced restaurants (runs off of St-Denis a few blocks above Sherbrooke), and you can bring your own wine and the places we have been to have not charge a corkage fee!! A really good Moroccan reataurant is on Duluth, to your left off St-Denis, about 3 or 4 blocks, near Rue St-Laurent. It is called Aucoin Berber, and is on your right if you are walking from St-Denis.

 

If the weather is not too hot it is a great city to wander around.

It is not a problem at all. Gerry Smith at Kindermann Canada can do that for you. I had my 50 Summicron done by him. Looks like it came from the factory that way. Modest price. Give him a call...905-940-9262. He is one of the best!

It is a lovely little camera. Great lens, and fast to use. This one worked well... http://www.photo.net/photo/275014

Russell has recently moved Kominek to a new and more interesting place....a warehouse down a lane off a street off Queen West, west of Bathurst. The street is the continuation of Palmerston. (It is worth taking something there just to see the place.) Russell is very good, but for Leica, Gerry Smith at Kindermann is the person to see.

 

What is the problem with the lens? The severity of the problem may determine where you should go.

Absolutely normal for a wide angle lens. If you really want to get in trouble get a 21mm and photograph your wife/gf near one of the long sides.

 

That would make even Nicole Ritchie look a bit chubby.

There was an overlap. I suspect that your number starts in the 146 area...had one like that.

Kindermann for sure.

I didn't think anyone else was still riding a Brooks! Brad's link to the "saddles" says they are "slow to break in"....gotta agree....mine is over 30 years old and it is still not fully broken in. It does have big copper rivets...but it is certainly neither Titanium nor light weight.

How could you all overlook the Austin/Morris Mini-Minor???

Really nice headress on the twoshot!!! Actually looks like it was meant to be that way.

 

Gotta learn to watch those backgrounds.
