<p>I looked in the archives but did not find anything but high iso/long exposure slight banding. Any idea anybody? Sensor gone? And another one:</p><div></div>

<p>So I tried again the following morning, short shutter speeds, interesting:</p><div></div>

<p>But the next shot turned out like this:</p><div></div>

<p>Just did some night shots in A mode (that is, in my case, 32 seconds, it won't do longer exposures)<br /> The last one that turned out properly was this one:</p><div></div>

<p>Hmm, it should rather smell like a nice old typewriter, but it is difficult to judge an odour by verbal description only.<br> Maybe it is the rubberized shutter cloth.<br> I would try to leave it open some days in clean warm, dry environment and see if the stench goes away. Maybe also alternate cocked/released shutter meanwhile. </p>

<p>Good light all! Mare at dawn.</p><div></div>

<p>Hmm, why don't you test it with a proper hangover policy?</p>

<p>The rainbow pattern hints to separation, unless there is a psychedelic floor underneath.</p>

<p>There could be lots of dummies in that lot. Come on, it's a display. Missing guts, no gears, front lens only, out of specs, whatever. Worst is, if you are the winning bidder, you are in for carefully unwrapping about seventy Summicrons 50mm without a single proper hood or cap. I belief King Midas felt that way long time ago. But you might get back some 100 bucks on the bent stainless steel christmas tree at your local scrap dealer to recover part of the shipping fees.</p>

<p>Wow Charlie, looks like me holding a Nikonos, though. Same cap at hand.<br> So this is your new Simple Extreme Water Curtain approach...<br> And Susan did use a lens baby? Or a Deardorff and for umbrella assistants;)<br> Jim, great to hear; I tried to sell my v1 for too much, some were interested, but no one went for it finally.</p>

<p>Thanks Jim! I see you enjoy your v1! Nice! Great Robin, reminds me of the taxis of Barcelona! Charlie, I'm fascinated by the background, very 19th centuryish!</p>

<p>Crossover</p><div></div>

<p>Three sad lads</p><div></div>

<p>Jim, IROOA is the one I grew up with, classic look but slight VF intrusion. This "Slotting a piece out" - technique you do not want to try with the geometrically complex vented hoods. And yes, with digital I figured out that the 12585 is also usable with the - earlier designed V1. It may vignette with later 35mm Summicrons. You already have the v1 35mm Cron? Best, Knut</p>

<p>You could take a beater IROOA and machine out a proper 2cm slot of the hood; then taking care of its orientation whilst shooting, but that is a slightly hard core make shift...</p>

<p>Hi Jim,<br /> nice to see you again, but in my experience, nope.<br /> IROOA and more modern vented hoods work fine, even better the not homologated deeper 12585 (I see no vignetting).<br /> The focus tab of the v1 is too comfortable (read: big) and the lens is too compact for reversing an effective hood, I believe.</p>

<p>Hi Barry, maybe yours should have a bowl of room temperature pale ale with a spur of aspirin.<br> I hope nobody will jump in for animal versus baby rights on the plunge I took on your proposal!</p><div></div>

<p>What is that Brad? A 1.4 16mm fisheye? A 21 Voigt at nearest distance? </p> <p>Anyway, tremendous.</p> <div></div>

<p>shadows</p><div></div>

<p>Like the second portrait, Barry! Focus, directional subdued light and OOF are just beautiful!</p> <p>Glenn, you nailed it! A friend watching my screen while I edited it asked "Is that street art?"<br> And I think it is, but the worker probably does not share that opinion. That is like 30kg of methacrylate, and paper thin grip.</p> <p>Nice Polaroid feel to your second shot, and the first abstractly graphic. I like very much the weighting of the three zones, and above all the formal repetition of the black frame line inside your picture.</p>

<p>Just converted to pnet specs. This afternoon in BCN.</p><div></div>

<p>Charlie, Brad, Robin, tremendous tonalities! Brad, the first posted pic is better balanced, face expression and feel are better, too.<br /> Brad, did that Cerberus eat your hood after the shot? Tremendous shot, great OOF.</p><div></div>

<p>That's creepy, Edgar Allen!</p> <p>Barry, please crop out the dustbins!</p><div></div>

<p>Organic easter eggs. They were easy to paint and made for a fine tortilla.</p>

<p>I think color is more subtle and "important" in low contrast settings, but that depends of course on the harmony or symphony of colors in a given scene. In your pic, the uniform brownish tint goes perfectly with stars and stripes.<br> Agreed Skeeter on your second remark. Landscapes otherwise turn into postcard stereotypes, sensation that ray's shot is not evoking at all - for me. Anyways, world is depicted mainly fairly oversaturated these days, and I can smell the fashion of muted, aged Kodachrome lookalikes is getting hip again. Instagram with it's filters playing a role here.</p>
