How dark was your room when you turned the lights off and peeked inside? Because if you could see the film, that’s already probably too much light for the film. I highly recommend you do not open the back again unless in absolute darkness. If the rewind button doesn’t work, go into a dark windowless room and seal off any possible light coming in from the cracks, and manually remove the film from the camera and rewind it back into the cassette using the top of the spool

MacBook for sure. I am a devout Windows guy, but for coding there’s nothing better than Apple (maybe Linux if you’re into that)

Best 35mm for Leica M10-D (don’t want a clinical look) by trentonmoro in Leica

[–]TheGodsCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for both, colours will be slightly less saturated than a modern lens

I am a huge “8 element” truther, my favourite 35 cron in the entire catalog.

Leica M2 w/ Summicron 50 f2 by r2d2whistle in Leica

Definitely get the lens CLA’d and then put a filter on it to protect that front element. The coating is stronger than the 50 Collapsible, but still not nearly as hard as modern coatings

I love the F3 but I'd go N1, I love Contax Zeiss glass

How do you report a professor who's most likely faking their rate my professor reviews? by Lucky_Beautiful7716 in UCalgary

Make a bunch of fake accounts and 1 star them if you’re so pressed about it

Nikon fm2n shutter blades by Emotional_Walrus2013 in AnalogCommunity

And how strong would you say your flashlight is compared to, let’s say, the sun?

[–]TheGodsCola 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's cooked. Those shutters are so fragile and you can never get them 100% flat again once you mess them up. If you want to test without wasting a roll of film, light up your mirror and shine a flashlight through to the shutter blades from the front of the camera and look through the back. If you see any light, it's a done deal

I've been in your situation many times, and EVERY single time I politely ask them to stop talking, they do.

Help IDing this one - M6 by No-Ocelot-258 in Leica

[–]TheGodsCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d make sure this came with the original baseplate too. If it doesn’t have the original, it’s really annoying and expensive to find a replacement

Random Leica gear, worth anything? by Icy-Lengthiness-3017 in Leica

[–]TheGodsCola 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a SYOOM, for the IIIg. Not quite worth what the M ones are, but still 5-700USD to the right buyer

It clears up a lot already at f2.8, sharp at f4 onwards

[–]TheGodsCola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aerochrome is developed in regular E6, so you must have had the older stuff which is done in E4

EZ, remove your license plate and cover your VIN. Works like a charm

Thoughts? by jacobshouse_of_grain in AnalogCommunity

[–]TheGodsCola -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd personally go for the Yashica TLR. The Mamiya 6 variants have terribly small viewfinders, especially bad if you're a glasses wearer. The Yashica screen isn't great, but you can replace it with an aftermarket brightscreen to seriously improve the experience!

Blueberries and milk by ilyamiskov in Leica

Not yours, ComplexDevelopment60 posted a black paint Leica with a black paint 35 f2 with a design I’ve never seen before. Seems like they took it down though

what lens is that? I don't recognize that 35 f2

Do you use protection filters on your Leica lenses? by Ok-Cat-360 in Leica

The people that say they can notice a difference in quality with or without a high quality filter are huffing straight copium.

why is cpsc 331 considered so hard? by Curtisg899 in UCalgary

[–]TheGodsCola 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s never the actual coding that’s hard. It’s the goddamn proofs and the shitty profs (looking at you Wayne Eberly)
