I'd keep the nokton

The off is only for the light meter, all other speeds work as normal without the batteries or if you put it on OFF it's on bulb

How would I go about finding out the exposure time for a photo that is on a

beach in darkness? I've seen those EV tables, would those help? How do the

people who take star trail pictures do it?

Pete and others.

 

By muddy I mean that the negatives initially looked unappealing and flat, where as the lab developed roll looked eye popping, what a black and white photo should look like. I was just wondering if this was my fault in developing or just different lighting situations..

I've always heard of special agitation techniques people have and other

developing soups and whatnot. In particular, I've heard of people 'adding

contrast' when they develop, how do you do that? I just want to get down to the

bottom of it, where do people pick these things up? I've processed most of my

film and I just thought you develop for the according time, agitate, wash, fix,

and thats it. I had a roll processed at a lab once and the negatives were

crystal clear, and all my other negatives are muddy. Then I learned people have

all sorts of different techniques to produce contrast and other stuff. I've only

been able to find basic developing techniques. What techniques have worked for

you, and what are some general techniques and guidelines that I failed to learn?

I've heard of people knocking people over the heads with their M's because they were being stolen at the time, no ill effects

It's better to go to a store and check it out rather than looking on the internet. If and when you go to the store fully extend the legs and lean your weight on it and shake the legs around and if theres little to no motion, thats the one to get.

Electrical tape.

I loaded my Canon AE-1 with Agfa APX 400-36 film. I've been shooting the roll

and about midway I started to notice that when I advanced the film that the

opposite winding wheel would not turn in conjunction with the advance. Though it

does turn freely when cocked. Did the film come undone? Although, it does turn

every couple of pictures... I am not quite sure what is going on...

When I cock the shutter and half press the button it flashes a red M and a red

dot on opposite sides of the aperture scale within the viewfinder... but it

doesnt seem to give me a reading.. what is going on?

Waited for a 50 'cron from Adorama. I got the box today...when I opened

it...there was no lens. Looked on the bottom of the box and the special tape had

been tampered with and the lens was stolen. I filed a claim with UPS...is there

something else I should have done? Will I be reimbursed?

In Adrian Brody's new movie he shoots with a m3 or an MP...not sure. You can see it in the commercial

 

In Ronin with Robert Deniero, he shoots with a Leica R and you see M bodies throughout as props

Now now, children. Stop your fighting and get along.

 

 

 

You've strayed so far from my topic ahhaha

And how much would be a good deal on each of these items?

I'm planning on buying a Leica this week. A M6 Classic and a 50 'cron. Would it

be wise to buy at this time or should I know about some forcasted price drop due

to the release of the m8?

If there is a Costco nearby they do APS scanning.
