Leica IIIC + Collapsible 50/3.5 Elmar.

That was a true pocket-camera

I have the good fortune of working in Rockefeller Center and making frequent visits to coworkers working with people from 9W57. That mirror is definetely pretty interesting, especially late at night. And the view from 9W57 cannot be beat. I'm not sure how anyone gets any work done there.

 

Also worth mentioning is the Rainbow Room which also has great views. It is in the same building as 'top of the rock' (30 Rock, The GE Building). Strangely enough I found the view from the sinks in the Men's room there to be better than that from the dining area.

Along the lines of the Canon 30D, you may want to consider 20D, the previous version still available in some stores for less money. I mention this particularly because the 30D is in a different price range than the cameras you had listed.

 

Also the 20D/30D will lack weather sealing, anti-shake and anti-dust.

 

The 20D/30D may also be in a different size class, though not a large difference, it is probably noticeable compared to the 3 cameras you did list.

M6, 35 Cron, HP5+

I had great luck, especially for the price with A S Photo Lab: <a href="http://www.asphotolab.com/">www.asphotolab.com/</a><br><br>

 

It is unfortunately nowhere near the UWS, though it is somewhat near Adorama if you were in the area..

I have recently discovered that Magnum has a podcast available on their <a href="http://www.

magnuminmotion.com">Magnum in Motion website</a>. I have enjoyed their Photo Essays, so

this was nice to see. <br><br> Unfortunately they are nothing more than shortened versions of

previously released essays, 1 new every week. <br><br> I was wondering if there are any other

podcasts available that are like this? I would like something to watch on my ipod from time to

time.

Thanks but that email address appears to be invalid (got a postmaster response)

I am looking to get more film holders for my Minolta Dual Scan IV.

 

Looking for the strip film holders, Model # FH-U2 any idea where this is available?

 

 

thanks.

On my mac, I use Opera.<br><br>

Opera has the interesting feature of not only tabs, but when you close a tab.. it goes into your 'trash bin' in Opera. This means if you accidently close one, you can easily bring it back up. Or if you close it earlier in the day and forgot the URL, you can get back to it. I find this easier than trawling through a browsers history window.<br><br>Some websites can load a little funny in Opera, but to me its not as big an issue as the benefit of the trash bin feature.

I bought a cap for my Rolleicord IIIa that I had hoped would fit, but does not. I am

trying to identify what bay size it is, so that when I resell it.. the buyer doesn't end up

in the same shape I am in.<br><br>

Measuring diameter of thte circular parts of the cap, the bottom circle is about 39mm

and the top about 29mm.<br><br>

I have a Rolleicord IIIa, which seems to be a Bay-5, according to the fact that I have a

hood that says Bay-5 on it and it fits. I can say that the BOTTOM part of the cap fits

both lensese of my Rolleicord, and is equal in size to the hood mounting. So what

would a cap that is Bay-5 on the bottom but smaller on the top be?<br><br>

Identifying notes - It's aluminum and says 'F&H' on the top circle and 'Carl Zeiss Jena'

on the bottom one. Also, unlike many rollei caps I have seen, this one is not hinged at

all, it is solid aluminum, chrome/metal colored.<br><br>Thanks!

15mm, hands down.

 

If I want a tighter composition, I crop away.

15mm all the way.

 

:-D

Easy: my 15/4.5 Heliar. I'd just crop when I want less. I suppose that faster Zeiss one might be more appealing though...

The CV 35/2.5 is a nice, sharp lens and I do enjoy it for those qualities. However, I often find myself aching for more speed. It does occupy a sweet spot in its price range though, so I would not rule it out. It is also extremely compact.

<br><br>

My friend had the CV 35/1.7 for some time, but couldn't bring himself to keep it, due to its size. It was bigger than even a 50/1.5 lens. Of course, if you need the speed, the price is right and size is a non-issue, the CV 35/1.7 is a keeper too.

Checkout the Crumpler bags, truely amazing pieces of gear. They are extremely well padded, comfortable and come in a variety of sizes. They also include adjustable compartments by using the included dividers. <br><br>

 

<strong>I have the Love 15 and can fit: </strong><br>

-Leica M2 w/ Summarit attached<br>

-35/2.5 Voigtlander<br>

-15/4.5 Voigtlander + Finder<br>

-85/1.9 Serenar<br>

-Gossen Digisix meter<br><br>

<strong>The above all fits in the top compartment, then the bottom can hold:</strong><br>

4 rolls of film and some filters PLUS either<br>

2 bottles of water <br>

or an ipod, pda and small digicam<br><br>

 

This bag is probably slighty too small for what you want, but take a look at their bags that are bigger than the Love 15. You will be suprised by how much you can fit into these bags.

Could be damage to the emulsion from something caught in the felt light trap. Seeing as how you are at the beach, it could be sand.

 

Did you load the camera at the beach?

Also was this a self-loaded roll of tri-x or store-bought?

If self-rolled, how old was the cassette?

 

Have you had this problem in any other location with any other film?

My friend just picked up a Leica M2 in need of some serious viewfinder repair.

Basically, the viewfinder is completely black. However, the bright lines still show, as

does the rangefinder patch.

 

Any ideas what could be broken and how much this type of repair this tends to run?

</b> How about now?

</strong> Bold off.

I would say this is development. This very well could be not only bubbles from not hitting the tank enough, but also from overagitation as was my case. I would recommend trying a roll with less agitation.

<br><br>

I had a similar problem until I changed my development routine. I believe Kodak calls for 15-30 seconds of agitation per minute then hit the tank on the counter firmly.

<br><br>

This problem went away instantly once I switched to Ilford's recommendation: 10 seconds per minute agitation, then hit the tank on the counter firmly.

<br><br>

Good luck!

I just started using A.S. Photo Lab while in the city for the summer here, per your mention of them in the Leica forum. I am shooting a Leica and Rolleicord (no flex yet, haha). Nice shots.

You have to lick it.

Thats in the ballpark, maybe more around 40 minutes though. I do HP5+@6400 in 51mmin w/ 5 minute agitation cycles.

OK, not the best option, just tried on some other examples. May be helpful in some small way as part of a larger process though.
