<p>Well, I took the plunge: Home developing.</p>

<p>Plus, this is the first roll off of the non-CLA-ed M3 that had been on the shelf who-knows-how-long.</p>

<p>I had a great time shooting the Leica. When I rewound the film, it sure seemed like I had gone far enough. So I opened up the back. And there's the film, not rewound. "Oh my," I quickly closed the back, and discovered you have to PULL UP on the rewind knob before it engages. "Well, there goes THAT roll of film," I figured. A guy at a camera shop confirmed I had probably messed up the whole roll.</p>

<p>Anyhow, I had to practice with all my new developing toys and chemistry. I had a roll of TriX 400 coming out of the Canon P, so I put both rolls through my 2 roll tank. 1) Ilfosol 3, 68 degrees, 5.5 - 6.0 minutes. 2) Ilforstop. 3) Ilford Rapid Fixer. </p>

<p>Now my instructions say "Rinse," and I'm quickly looking around the bathtub for some clear water to use for a rinse. I see my mason jar with clear fluid and throw that in there ... and it foams up. It's step #6, Wash Aid. Dangit! I hit the Wash before the Hypo Clearing Agent. So I quickly dump it, water wash it from the tub tap, use the Hypo (step 5), and brew up a Wash Aid (#6) on the fly.</p>

<p>So now I've both exposed the whole roll to broad daylight, and messed up the order of developing. Oh well!</p>

<p>The scanning was difficult to figure, but eventually I discovered VueScan which worked well with my Nikon Coolscan V ED with the SA-21 strip loader. Jeepers! These are looking pretty good! I think I got about 80% acceptable shots after all those mistakes! </p>

<p>Note that the Leica is in for service with Mr. Ye. The Summarit is living up to its reputation as having low contrast. But that is a useful "feature" sometimes.</p>

<p>So here they are. Family, friends and Fort Nisqually, WA. Plus, truly, my very first shot with my new Leica M3 was a Water Tower in Roy, WA, in honor of our esteemed JDM von Weinberg.</p>

<p>Enjoy!</p>

<p>A Friend. There is a mistake in the developing here. In the top right there is some kind of stain or scum. If anyone can tell me how I made that mistake and how to avoid it in the future, I would appreciate it.</p>

<p>Hi, I have a doubt, can I use the batteries of my 6006 (1,25 ma) on a 6008 body, without changing fuse and recharging them with old rollei G charger? Thx Mauro</p>

<p>Surely Foma R100 can be processed like negative, my laboratory do it :-)<br>

Because of much expansive cost, question is if I can do it myself, using a paper developer ( PQUniversal) and normal fixing...<br>

Thx Mauro</p>

<p>I have it also<br>

But I would like understanding how it works, expecially wheel for advancing film :-)<br>

How many wheel turn for any photo ??<br>

Can you post some web links for an user manual?<br>

<p>So it seems possible to give a lens hood with 28.5 mm push, do it?<br>

Thx Mauro</p>

Can I use my 35 mm wetzlar 8 lens for m3 with eyes in other leica m bodyes?

Are there any fucusing problems?

Thx Mauro

The second summaron 230 euros, too much if rangefinder is out of use... :-)

Hi

I have broken googles of a summaron 35mm f 2,8

I have tryed to use it with a m2 but any picture hasn't the right focusing

(with lens mounted without googles)

So this lens is definetely useless, if I will not able to find a sub googles?

Thx Mauro

Now I have found a new summaron f2,8 for m3, but without googles , perfect lens

Do you think I can change mount mechanical section from one lens to other?

Not bad result with this "broken lens" ...<div></div>

and again visible, at full wide open<div></div>

Here broken glass is visible<div></div>

I have bought a Summaron 35 mm (payed 30 euro), with an internal glass element

broken near borders

 

The lens however works well full wide too, at f4 is impossible to see the

broken glass

 

Do you think it is possible repair the lens changing the element? Is it

convenient sending it at Wetzlar ?

 

Many thanks! Mauro Italy Rome<div></div>
