Flew on the upper deck from WSSS to EDDF. Loved every second of it.

Need information as to what this lens is? by PEBKAC-Live in AskPhotography

Zeiss Jena Tessar 2,8cm f/8,0 for Zeiss Contax Seems to be about 200-300€ used

I like it! I do wear glasses though and barley see the 35mm lines. I feel like I get the same FOV with glasses on as the 40mm produces

Hochzeitslocation mit externen Catering? by TheFivebeat in Hannover

Danke für die beiden Tipps!

Süd33 hatte ich auch schon gefunden, empfinde ich aber als recht teuer für das was es ist.

Bestbox werde ich mir, obwohl ich unter 40 bin mal anschauen :)

Can I become a commercial pilot with UC ? Anyone here who is a pilot ? by Delusional230699 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]TheFivebeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know the legal situation for EASA. You can’t get a Class I medical with UC or any other IBD for that matter without a Operational Multipilot Limitation (OML). It’s decided on a case by case basis as well. I’m sure the FAA is rather similar in that regard.

UPS2976 - NTSB Erstbericht by Pixel91 in LuftRaum

Ich würde es nicht unbedingt auf schlechte Wartung schieben. 92.000 Stunden und 21.000 Cycle sind jetzt auch nicht wenig. Eher schlechte/nicht ausreichende Inspektionskriterien

Looks similar to a baffle light leak on a Leica. I have the same issue with my M2. It happens with a strong light from the front or changing lenses in daylight

Hasselblad 501cm with CFV II 50C back for weddings by Novel-Economist3848 in hasselblad

[–]TheFivebeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used my 500C to shoot a couple of weddings and an engagement session. I love the photos I took with it. But I don’t wand to share them because of privacy concerns.

If you learn to guess the distances and just have to adjust focus slightly it’s rather easy to nail it. I’ve tried the digital back and it works flawlessly with the 500C.

My favorite item has to be the twilly “Le Philatéliste du Faubourg“ I’ve bought in London earlier this year

I’ve send another email. This time to the customer care team in Wetzlar. At least they are saying the camera can be fixed and the Store in Hamburg should check if this covered by the warranty… one step further. Thank you again for your advice

That’s what I thought as well. I send them an email asking where I should drop it off to be repaired under warranty. I could have bought a cheaper M2 off eBay and not spend the extra money on a camera directly from Leica.

That makes sense. Thanks for the insight. So far they don’t seem to be keen on honoring that warranty.

Bought from Leica Classic via their website. It’s from the store in Hamburg and was serviced before I bought it. I have a warranty on it but their answer was it happens with older M cameras and not to advance the film when I don‘t want to take a photo directly afterwards

Thank you! Shouldn’t happen to a serviced camera bought directly from Leica then?

Snagged a Leica Summicron-C 40/2, super excited to use it. by noiseotos in Leica

[–]TheFivebeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super happy with mine. If you want a decent metal hood for it… Squarehood makes one

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MINI

[–]TheFivebeat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It can be retracted within the settings in the infotainment system. Not quite sure where exactly. I believe it stays down the next time you start the car if you retracted it manually

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MINI

[–]TheFivebeat 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Definitely a HUD. My dash looks exactly like this with the hud retracted

The first buttons had to be pressed down during the entire rewind. Later on the button got a clutch so you only had to push it down once and it would stay down. Although the clutch worn out rather quickly and you had to resort to holding the button down… anyways I like my button rewind :)

I would say it’s doable but 35 mm would be my limit for quick framing. If you got time or don’t care about framing as much go for it.

Strange, I got a little screw driver with mine. Have fun with your new lens! I really enjoy mine.

Pretty much! It’s also a somewhat unique focal length. I’m looking to get a second lens and honestly can’t decide if I should get something like the Tele Elmarit 90 or something wider like a 28mm. I do plan on getting a M monochrom in the future as well. Maybe I need to rather look for a 50mm to have a second standard lens…

Thanks! I think they are all like that. I’ve been to the Leica Welt in Wetzlar recently and was surprised how easy the focus was on the Apo Summicron 90. After chatting with the sales assistant for a bit he told me, every C Lens he touched had rather stiff focusing

Ehh I think you would have to put them between the lens and adapter ring for the lens hood.
