    <p>Robert Bowman: <em>And yes, Mukul Dube, the mirror does go back up when advancing the film and cocking the shutter. What might this indicate?</em><br> It tells us that the mechanism is functioning properly. However, the deteriorating foam should be replaced before it makes a mess.</p>

    <p>Glad to help, Eric. But, as I shall never tire of repeating, it was wrong of Leitz to stuff a frame for 28mm into a finder which until then had had 35mm as its widest frame. The consequence was that the frame for 28mm was too small and those for 35mm and 50mm were made too small to maintain separation. I'd say that the 28mm frame is close to unusable with a 25mm lens.</p>

    <p>The lens being tried out is a <em>25mm</em> f/4, Robin, not a 28mm. But I suppose they are close enough.</p>

    <p>Photo taken to see if the camera is focussing correctly. I had sent it to the Olympus Master Service Centre in Mumbai/Bombay. This picture taken with lens wide open.</p><div></div>

    <p>Please look at the lower edge of the mirror. There may be a deposit there. Does the mirror go up again when you advance the film and cock the shutter?</p>

    <p>The ingenious method that Leitz adopted to call up different frame lines assumes that no lens will be rotated beyond the point at which it locks in place. In your combination, "play" has developed which allows such rotation. I'd agree with Robin that you ought to leave it alone: fiddling will only make things worse. In any case, the lens you are trying out needs an external finder as the camera's finder has no frame for it. The lens lock button should be depressed <em>only</em> when removing a lens.</p>

    <p>Any M mount lens should be rotated clock-wise only until a click indicates that it is locked in place.</p>

    <p>In what is proving to be a poorly thought out move -- it has been described as a man made disaster -- the government in India declared that currency notes worth 500 rupees and 1,000 rupees would no longer be legal tender. Long queues are now seen outside banks and ATMs as people struggle to deposit their no longer valid currency and acquire new notes.</p><div></div>

    <p>I've had plenty of practice in the last six years, Sanford: although now I seldom go owing to advancing age.</p>

    <p>The Hindu Right in India is calling for war with Pakistan. There was a public meeting to oppose this belligerence. In this first photo, a group which sang songs of peace.</p><div></div>

    <p>It's 1,000 <em>pixels</em>, Randy.</p>

    <p>Rob, the trouble began when a frame for 28mm was stuffed into a 0.72 magnification finder, which has space only for 35mm (as in the M4 and the M5).</p>

    <p>The instructions still say 700 pixels.</p>
  23. mukul_dube
    <p>Paul, if one side of the frame becomes thin (not "dim") it's probably improper alignment of the moving plate and the static one. My first M3 had this problem with the 135mm frame but I used it like that for seventeen years.</p>

    <p>At a wedding gathering, I got only this photo which was not posed. At left, my class mate, mother of the bride, and at right, the wife of another of our class mates.</p><div></div>
