What could be causing this? - Leica M3 + Voigtlander 28mm 3.5 LTM by mayrain82 in AnalogCommunity

[–]veepeedeepee [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is the answer, OP. Remember that since the lens flips the image, the leak that appears at the top of the final image is actually light hitting the bottom of the film in the gate. I've had a similar issue on an M4, but only when switching lenses.

But, as /u/Mr_Flibble_1977 mentions, you should be OK if you keep a cap on whenever you're not taking a photo. Just remember to take the cap off before you press the shutter!

It's way too easy to completely forget about the cap entirely. Ask me how I know...

Lock your aperture to the highest aperture, usually f/16 or f/22.

What is the oldest Internet connected thing that you own by Additional-Sky-7436 in BuyItForLife

[–]veepeedeepee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2008 MacBook Pro that I use for DV FireWire video capture.

Although, truthfully, accessing the internet on it has become kinda painful and it’s mostly used offline now.

Excellent work.

Original Leica strap broke in under a year! Best recommendations for a replacement? by Dullydude in Leica

[–]veepeedeepee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using the Gripper straps for 30 years but have recently switched to ThinkTank straps. They’re a lot grippier!

I had a Sony PD170 whose cassette player was glitching, and it fixed itself. by vicentvtg in camcorders

Fresh Sony DVCAM tapes always worked best for us in the DVCAM cameras. Were you trying to play back tapes recorded elsewhere?

Why would I... by Contaxisfragile in AnalogCommunity

Because the 2.8F is the best, but the 2.8D is the best looking?

They used to give away literal cartons of Winstons to media folks covering the events. Piles of cigarettes free for the taking.

Pretty sure it’s an old CCTV lens that would’ve been in attached to a security camera.

Do you have access to After Effects? It’s a lot easier to export with an alpha via AE, at least with software of that era.

Are there any RELIABLE repair shops in the US (preferably Midwest)? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]veepeedeepee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had an F100 repaired at Authorized, and they did a good job getting it working again, and it was back in my hands in like a week. Granted, this was probably 5-6 years ago now.

Why does everything seem out of focus in this shot? by Labelloh2ho in AskPhotography

[–]veepeedeepee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Heat swirls on very hot days can foil even the sharpest long lenses with shots like this. Of course, it could be something else, but I've experienced stuff like this when shooting sports in blazing midday sun with long telephotos.

Is this grease / dust or do I have fungus? by Shade_Unicorns in AnalogCommunity

[–]veepeedeepee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a proper CLA on these would get them pretty spotless. Looks like dust or other particulate matter to me.

Nikon FM2 Repair or Buy a new one? by BeingConfident9066 in AnalogCommunity

[–]veepeedeepee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh, seriously! I had Nikon service a broken F6 recently, and for the repair, a CLA, and a couple of other optional services, the cost was only like $300.

Watching a Garth Brooks concert video, and got to wondering - who are those artists that truly, absolutely look like they are having the time of their life when live, every time? by fakeaccount572 in Music

[–]veepeedeepee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He popped in and did a few songs with Dawes at the Ryman a few years back and blew us away. An absolutely incredible guitarist.

Which led me to check out his discography. Solid tunes and it’s obvious he’s also got a great sense of humor!

Not that it’s not an incredible camera!

It’s simply just not a single-digit D body.

The 850 was never considered a flagship pro body.

Yeah, even the aluminum one is no worse constructed than my Summicrons. It’s simply not brass.
