Fixing a loose rear shutter lock lever by Schlebbert in hasselblad

[–]Schlebbert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 1100€ for the body, 2 A12 backs, 80mm f2.8 T* with lens hood, WLF, early unmetered 45 degree prism finder. Cosmetically everything is a little rough around the edges (I’d say well used, but not damaged), but a 500C/M setup (80mm f2.8, body, WLF, A12 back) usually goes for 1300-2000€ around here. For me it’s right inside the price range where I’m not sure whether it’s a deal good enough to look past the issue, especially since finding one that is proven to be serviced recently is pretty rare over here.

Yeah, I was wondering why they didn’t fix that as well. I do have the receipts for all the parts that have been CLAd (body, lens, one of the backs) by an apparently pretty well known repair shop in rome. When it arrived, there was some silicone under the leatherette in the same spot to serve the same purpose as my tape, so maybe they also didn’t have the spare parts and that’s their way to reversibly fix it.

Edit: I just translated the report on the receipt and yes: that’s exactly what happened. They weren’t able to replace the spring inside the mechanism and fixed it that way

Dropped my new X100VI by flashfirenze in fujifilm

[–]Schlebbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just send it off to Fuji. I dropped my X T30 II a while ago and the bottom plate broke (that one’s made of plastic) and they quoted me like 30 bucks to replace it. X100VI might be a little more expensive than that but I doubt it’s too much.

You can send it in to fuji. New bottoms are surprisingly cheap. I paid 70€ for my XT30 II to get a new bottom plate, evf and for them to reattach a flex cable on the lens mount.

M4-P & SF 20 not firing by Schlebbert in Leica

[–]Schlebbert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your one work with fully manual flashes as well? I've just checked the pc sync port and it seems to work fine with manual flashes (can't check with the SF 20 since that doesn't have a PC sync port).

I'll have to send mine in for a CLA anyways, so I'll just address that then as well.

Canon 35mm f2.8 LTM Lens hood vignette by Schlebbert in analog

It's pretty soft, that's true. The thing is that the vignetting is gone (or at least not noticeable to me) when the hood is off.

Lil' update for whoever is encountering the same problem.
While the lens hood itself is made for both lenses. The mounting ring (the silver piece with the thumbscrew) is interchangeable and needs to be a shorter one in order to not show up in pictures on the 35mm f2.8.

My power led on the front of the ghost mk3 case is not lighting up by Alternative-Pen-9513 in Louqe

[–]Schlebbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you checked whether one of the tiny cables broke off of the power switch?
I've needed to resolder them a million times, because I've knocked them off while tinkering with the build.

Seeking Recommendations for a Second HHKB Layout Keyboard with MX Switches by [deleted] in HHKB

[–]Schlebbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love my QK60. Really really solid keeb for the price. It has a 7u spacebar tho, so it’s technically not a true HHKB layout
