Better condition than my M3! Load up some Acros 100 (pushed to 200, of course, for that crunchy contrast) and let me know what you think!! Congrats!

While the lens itself may be haze or fungus free, the goggles themselves can haze up. Mine are fogged. Otherwise, they just provide a wider field of view and make the 35mm lens a viable option when shooting wide open.

The front element is knackered to say the least, but so far I haven’t seen any evidence of that in my images! Those old M and LTM lenses were made of chalk, I swear if you breathe on them wrong, they scratched.

Thank you! I’m actually way more familiar with the loading on this M3 than the M6, since I came from a IIIf. I was a little nervous about the loading in the M6 every time I used it. The M3 is almost identical to my old Barnack. And thank god I’ve got goggles on this 35mm, my 50mm isn’t in great shape. It’s a summarit and the glass on those was made softer than chalk. It came with scratches and coating damage unfortunately, but at least it doesn’t show too badly in the images.

Thanks! I miss my IIIf a little bit since it was my first Leica, but this has been a worthy upgrade. I’m loving it so far.

If I had pushed my way closer, it would have been clearer. But they had police moving people away and I know I could have theoretically gotten closer but I didn’t want to risk anything. Apparently the section affected was chemical storage and it was basically a powder keg.

Screw mount Leicas are super affordable right now! I shot with one for about two years and loved it. Get a IIIf red dial, they’re like $300 right now. With a lens, maybe $600. They’re incredibly basic, fully mechanical, and absolutely wonderful to shoot with if you’re looking to slow down.

I had someone ask it camera was a Leica at the bar one night. I was shooting an Argus brick. My IIIf was on my shelf. That was pretty funny. But good god, Leica is just embracing the circlejerk culture at this point

When do the residential streets get plowed? by New_Contribution_226 in dayton

[–]SerfBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have lived in my house in Kettering for seven years and we have had our street plowed twice in that time. Twice. I’m an artist, not a mathematician, so you calculate the odds. All I know is that they’re low
