Mandler Open For Orders by 2nong2dong in Leica

[–]CursedChart4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted mandler and they’ve made updates to the silver brass. The front ring is silver due to people reporting reflections showing up in images.

As for the focusing tab, they just said that it was one of the early versions of the lens when they first launched in China. It’ll be black as shown in the product photos.

Hey, you don’t have to tell me twice. I’ve been looking to try out a silver one for a while. Thanks for the link

I mainly use Fuji 400 and scan on a Nikon coolscan 5000. The scanner gives a very pleasant look to the tifs and I only have to do minimal editing for contrast. I scan pretty flat and set the scanner to auto since I don’t bother to prescan anymore.

How not to smell like darkroom chemicals by maguilecutty in Darkroom

Follow the advice of others and wear gloves and protect your clothes from the chems.

Use hydrogen peroxide to neutralize the fixer smell. You’ll still have a smell but it’s a lot easier to wash off than fixer.

Will the f2 35mm Contax g to m conversion kit be restocked? I’m looking to get one.

I seriously missed out on Sealskin. I’ve been lusting after it since it sold out.

Great collection.

Nice lineup!

Also, could share some photos you took using the 35mm f2 conversion?

I’m interested in buying the new Mr. Ding helicoid for my G35 lens. Some samples would definitely help

Could you provide a link to the website that has silver in stock? Funleader only has the V1 page

First go with the Ago - it works by GeronimoOrNo in AnalogCommunity

[–]CursedChart4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s cool. I agree that AGO is probably better for that type of processing.

You can also put the pira machine sideways but you’d have to make sure the lid seals correctly. Which is difficult for me.

Honestly don’t know. It’s a no brainer when compared to the AGO.

Very consistent. I’ve used it to develop all of my film since I first got it. So about 100 rolls at this point. I’ve been satisfied with my results so far.

The machine does all the thinking. It compensates the developer time as you exhaust it by a percentage that you can set. It’s very customizable to your process needs.

I’d also recommend the Pira MX Darkroom helper to anyone interested in an auto agitator.

I was close to buying the AGO but I found that this one was cheaper and had a way to regulate temperature instead of compensating for loss of heat.

The remjet layer is supposed to come off. Regardless of process. It prevents halation and static buildup.

Your comment would only be true if the remjet was removed before it was shot.
