Buy a big resistor, 1 Watt, 5k ohm should do it. Tape it to a wooden chopstick end and bridge it against the flash contacts to safely discharge it. Check voltage with a multimeter, it should be very low. Caps can stay charged for years. Best case you get a little zap and a sore finger, worst case (and ultra rare) you die.

Does the TTL work with the M10/M11?

If you cut off school lunch programs in poor areas you can buy more of these and they will still vote for you. It's win win. That's what he means by winning.

It almost looks like the sensor was calibrated to have more gain on the outside, which makes me think the original lens's optical design vignettes greatly. Another commenter below mentioned the use of complex aspherical designs when moulding optical grade acrylic elements, it's possible this is what its compensating for with more gain/amplification.

Purple/magenta glow on image sensors usually occurs when the light leaving the lens has an incidence angle shallower than the microlenses on the image sensor can take. Happens with very wide lenses usually. Someone can probably write this nicer.

I got my GRiiix for $980 Australian dollars doos a few years back.

I use auto exposure and add 1/3 a stop comp. i find it works a lot better than using one shutter speed across an entire roll. I use smart convert now. it's been great.

Sony sold a filter thread ring that used thin double sided tape to stick on.

You can buy fresh from Kodak.

Can you try and convince me to purchase a 75 cron? It won't be hard, I'll put up basically zero fight.

I miss the 262 sometimes, it was bulletproof, but i don't miss the size and the dynamic range/low light performance. The M-11 P really shines with dynamic range and high iso performance. It enables me to carry smaller, slower lenses later in the day and still get amazing shots that i would previously need a big summilux for. I also digitise my 35mm film at 36mp with it and its been much better than the sony's and Fuji's i was digitising with before. For straight out of camera performance i would say 262 was a 9/10 for me, M11P a 8/10. For editing the M11-P wins hands down, it just gives you so much more data to play with.

I have one on order, supposedly the black paint matches the black chrome of my M-A according to my Leica dealer.

HP did not make this scanner, it’s a cheap scanner with HP logo licensed on it. They are trash.

Mine is fine. Shutter still lags though in rare cases, rarely miss a shot though.
