@Allen Herbert - is that Summilux pre-aspherical lens? I think I sense some of its famous "glow". [uSER=5679739]@arthur_mcculloch|2[/uSER] - those are nice images of Uluroo. I've never been to Australia, but if I ever go, I'll make sure I visit the Uluroo. Is it true that it's closed to tourists these days? No more climbing on it?

Frozen and snow-covered canal between Lake of the Isles and Bde Maka Ska, this past winter. Winters in this part of Midwest are brutally cold and very long. Yet they can also be pretty. Leia MP, 35 mm Summicron f/2 (IV), Kodak T-Max 400.

These are really beautiful scans. Nicely done.

I actually like the Typ 262 better than this new M-E. I think that de-contented nature of Typ 262 really made a positive difference.

Thanks. This is Cedar Lake in winter (Minneapolis, MN USA). I'm not sure that it's possible to tell from the picture, but the lake was completely frozen. The temperatures were low, really low, around -20C to -30C. The little electronics that my Leica MP has, usually starts to malfunction in those low temps.

Dust is becoming a big problem with the labs that develop and scan film. As the use of film decreases so does the processing quality too. I've dealt with a couple of local labs here n Minneapolis, MN and I had to give up on them as they were not cleaning the negatives before scanning them. To add to the insult, they would have some teenagers doing scanning, and those were mostly not paying attention to what they were doing. Now I mail my film out to Citizen's Photo in Portland, OR and they do a decent job for the price (but their quality has gone down over the years too). Anyway, if there are dust spots, and if there aren't too many of them, I'll fix that in Light Room. I think I'll eventually have to go back and start developing and scanning my film. I'll need to buy the supplies and a decent scanner, but also wait for my little one from the picture to grow a bit. I'd like to teach him how to develop film and I hope he likes it.

From the past winter, Cedar Lake (Minneaplis, MN) utterly frozen. It was a particularly cold period, ironically without much snow but with temperatures well below 0 Farenheit. Much to the delight of ice-skaters, the ice was thick, smooth, clean and flat like glass so these images may appear to be long exposure pics of lake surface.

I agree. I like the looks but am a bit disappointed it doesn't use the M10 platform. M (240) is just a bit too fat.

The same problem happened to me few years ago. I accidentally removed the bottom plate, thinking that the film was rewound. Light leakage was not too bad, but bad enough to damage a few images that were exposed. Most of the film stayed intact. I think there isn't much you can do about exposed film. But you'll find out once developed. The effect can be "interesting".

... photo.net would not allow me to upload an image saying it's too large... and it's not, it's only 800 pixels wide.... weird
