Rui</p>

Hi,

thank you all!

Just realize it has a front thread indeed.

Thanks robert i'll try that for sure! :)

rui

<p>it's the 35mm summicron.<br>

I don't have the filter here but i suppose it doesn't have the femala threads.<br>

damn! :\</p>

<p>Thanks Bill,</p>

<p>Well, guess 2 and 3 are no options.</p>

<p>What do you mean clip-on cap?<br>

Rui</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Just got a b+w filter for my summicron 3rd version, and when I placed it found out there's no way the lens cap get fixed :\ errr</p>

<p>how do you guys handle this?</p>

<p>Thanks,<br>

Rui</p>

<p>Hi Eddy,</p>

<p>Thanks on your comment. Well, most of them are from nikon d50, also some from Contax G2 and still nothing from my M6, which I have only a few weeks now ;)</p>

<p>Rui</p>

<p>D3x is just a camera, another one.<br>

M9 is history.</p>

<p>Hi again,<br>

The answer is indeed in the link you posted:<br>

<em>"If I understand what you are reporting, then I think your camera is operating correctly. I assume you have an M6 with an early serial number. In the beginning, the M6's meter simply cut out when you went below the metering range. Later, because of the reaction of many who thought the meter wasn't working, the dispay was changed to a flashing LED. This lets you know the meter is operating, but the EV range is below the ability of the meter to function. Be aware that the metering range is based on ISO 100, so with faster film, you can be out of the meter's range based on the sliding scale of the EV."</em><br>

Well, guess I'll have to live with that :\<br>

Thanks again,<br>

Rui</p>

<p>Hi Michael,<br>

Hum, I don't think so. The arrows on my M6 never blink: or they show up, or they don't :\</p>

<p>Thanks for you comments on my flickr O;)<br>

Rui</p>

<p>By the way, I tried new batteries, and same thing happens.</p>

<p>Hi,<br /> <br /> Just bought an M6 non-TTL. Shot a couple of rolls with it and all seems fine, with only with a minor weird thing that is bugging me.<br /> <br /> In situations where I have very few light, the meter stops showing the arrows, like if it was telling me there isn't a suitable shutter-speed in order to expose properly, given the chosen apperture.<br /> <br /> That might be ok, but I found in friends that have M7 and M6TTL that their cameras in similar situations, the arrows are shown the same way, only they are blinking.<br /> <br /> One situation where I tried this is closing myself in a dark room with very tiny lights in the window. When I point to the light, the meter show the proper arrow indication. When I move to a dark area, no arrows are shown.<br /> <br /> Can you please help? Is my m6 working well not showing the arrows (in those situations), or it should show them blinking?<br /> Thanks in advance,<br /> Rui</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I shoot exclusively 35mm b&w and i'm thinking what scanner to get to start procesing my own film at home.</p>

<p>Maybe I will be interested in Medium Format in the future, but as my main concern is size (that i don't have) I'm, leaning to a dedicated film scanner.</p>

<p>Of course a 35mm+MF dedicated would be the best, but I haven't find a suitable (in terms of cost) scanner so far.</p>

<p>In my head there is a Plustek 7300i, or maybe find a used Minolta.</p>

<p>About Minolta's... (Scan Dual, Scan Elite, let's see what comes along) will I be able to put it to work on win7? Any experience on that? I've read problems in getting them to work on Vista.</p>

<p>Maybe I could buy an alternative scanner driver, if possible.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,<br>

Rui</p>

<p>ok, but which minolta? :)<br>

... after all did you buy one?<br>

i'd love to know and hear your thoughts about it</p>

That is no surprise, many are for quite a long time.

For example M7 is.

<p>Hi,<br>

No shutter lag.<br>

Dream cameras, magnificent lenses, a pleasure to shoot with!<br>

Rui</p>

<p>beautiful</p>

<p>Yes, I also notice that.<br>

Once shooting on the street, Leica is no longer that little uncuspicious camera... people know leica, and stare.<br>

That's not good :\<br>

Rui</p>

<p>That would be great.<br>

But... where did you get that from?</p>

<p>Rui</p>

<p>why do you want an M?<br>

to go the the local coffee house?</p>

<p>it's a rock camera... build to stand hard conditions<br>

i take my camera everywhere</p>

<p>sorry if i was too honest and direct, that's what i think</p>

<p>very nice post</p>

<p>i think about that also</p>

<p>well, i find myself also working hard on digital and minimizing any post-processing on film.</p>

<p>somehow i think film has it's own soul, and one is not supposed to tweak it a lot. Also it really shows much closer to what i want to see<br>

rui</p>

<p>Getting close, but still not what i want</p>

<p>I have two Zeiss Biogon 28mm f/2.8 for contax G1/G2, so I want to sell one. Tell me if interested.<br>

Amazing optics indeed.<br>

Rui</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Will a contax G2 work well without the little rubber eye piece?</p>

<p>what would be the problem with this missing?</p>

<p>thanks in advance,<br>

rui</p>

<p>had a g9 before, own a lx3 now</p>

<p>don't think it is slow, in any way. Not at all</p>

<p>cheers,<br>

rui</p>

<p>well... i sure would love to see them</p>
