<p>Allen, I very much doubt that every pro has the same consideration for what they want out of a camera. Like I said earlier, if the US military decides they want toughness over autofocus speed, who are you to tell them otherwise? The consideration of one is not the consideration of all.<br /> There are some who prefer sharpness and color rendition over speed, and a large format camera will blow ANY digital camera out of the water in those department- Just talk to the folks in the large format thread. If Ansel Adams could feed his family with his large format landscapes I have no doubt others could, too<br> Not to be rude just a consideration :)</p>

<p>An interesting note [a bit of a tangent too!], the American Army uses Pentax cameras, or at least the Marines do</p>

<p>I wouldn't trust the general populace with slide film [too temperamental for most people!] but it looks like you got some pretty good shots. This is definitely an idea for when I get married...</p>

<p>Wow! I'll check up with Mark Hama to see how much a CLA would cost, I've got other cameras to shoot in the meanwhile.</p>

<p>I've had this issue on a few frames of the several rolls I've shot on this camera- the top or the bottom of the frame is significantly lighter than the rest of the image. The camera is a Yashica-Mat [the original, not the 124g]<br> Here's a link to see <a href="http://cdn.thedarkroom.com/83050005_30079_lrg_1472051944.jpg">link</a><br> Any ideas on what this could be? I'm guessing a shutter issue but I'm not experienced with leaf shutters</p>

<p>Looks like it could be a large format lens, and possibly a collector's item<br> <a href="http://homepage2.nifty.com/akiyanroom/redbook-e/collection/uli04.html">here</a> is an article of sorts I found on it</p>

<p>I agree with William, if it were caused by the site you bet there would be a fuss about it- adware/malware doesn't just target one person</p>

<p>That's adware, your computer is infected, just not by a virus [fairly sure that means that Norton's can't fix that]</p>

<p>Let me know if you decide to sell it, I'd love to buy it off of you, regardless of the fungus!</p>

<p>It's an older model summilux 50mm f/1.4 from 1969, the helicoil separated from the lens mount. I've got an estimate of $100 from both, whereas Leica USA stated a $300 asking price. I'll probably be going with Youxin at this point, as it's the only lens I have for my Leica and I'd like to get it fixed ASAP</p>

<p>Is either DAG or Youxin preferable to another? I've heard DAG takes forever but does VERY good work, whereas I have not heard much about Youxin's lens repairing abilities. At this point I'm thinking Youxin over DAG due to his turnaround estimate of 3-4 weeks, as they charge about the same</p>
