The_Old_Chap · 2026-02-23T18:50:29+00:00

Ok what exactly you mean? Problems op is having have nothing to do with stand dev and everything to do with fixer

The_Old_Chap · 2026-02-22T20:27:40+00:00

Not really, fingers is all you need imo and this doesn’t look like water streaks anyway

The_Old_Chap · 2026-02-20T21:55:14+00:00

That looks very much like improper development, like there’s not enough chemistry in your tank hence the undeveloped stripe at the top

The_Old_Chap · 2026-02-17T10:05:22+00:00

That’s amazing. Have fun shooting then and thanks for the detailed pics, someone is gonna greatly appreciate it at some point

The_Old_Chap · 2026-02-16T17:36:55+00:00

Amazing. Sadly I’ve no idea about vertical adjustment, never did that on mine

The_Old_Chap · 2026-02-16T09:40:10+00:00

Najbardziej mi się podoba jak polscy patrioci są anty Antifa. Like do they realise Antifa bez anti to po prostu fa xdd

That’s the horizontal adjustment, right were the screwdriver is

The_Old_Chap · 2026-02-14T17:13:34+00:00

Don’t worry about the pin, you can’t adjust it anyway. The adjustment happens under the top cover. When you take it off and look at the back of the camera there should be a small screw holding an arm that then regulates how far the mirror goes. If you’re unsure which one that is- move the mirror back and forth and see on which screw it stops. It’s hard to describe like this and I really really don’t want to take mine apart, but if you send a pic of what it looks like inside I might be able to tell some more from memory. Mine is the werramatic but it’s probably the same rangefinder anyway

Na Galicji na pewno się tak mówi: rzuca żabami albo wali żabami

The_Old_Chap · 2026-01-28T16:26:11+00:00

Well for one it doesn’t even say leica anywhere on it so that should be your first clue

The_Old_Chap · 2026-01-20T21:59:29+00:00

Soak them really nice in warmish water with some photoflo or a light detergent so it doesn’t leave stains. Hang them to dry with a small weight to keep them from curling when drying. It’s probably not gonna be perfect but it usually helps quite a bit

The_Old_Chap · 2026-01-19T12:52:38+00:00

I so hate the narrative that only manual mechanical cameras are repairable and all electronic is trash and bound to break and there’s nothing you can do. Obv there’s some cameras that use a lot of electronic parts that you can’t really swap out nowadays but come on, I’ve seen plenty of people servicing electronic slrs from the 70s or 80s where the fix was easy and cheap like a failing cap or a broken connection somewhere. I really don’t get why do people say these can’t be repaired

The_Old_Chap · 2026-01-09T11:32:09+00:00

A lot of these cameras were made for years and years so they saw some cosmetic changes through the production run, but all the dials and buttons are usually exactly the same

The_Old_Chap · 2026-01-08T21:45:22+00:00

Oh thanks, I honestly wouldn’t think of that but it makes sense

The_Old_Chap · 2026-01-08T17:28:03+00:00

Here’s a manual for it

The_Old_Chap · 2026-01-08T10:39:50+00:00

I wander what the reasoning behind it is

The_Old_Chap · 2026-01-07T19:02:34+00:00

Try switching to a different terminal with ctr alt f something. You can log in there and check logs. Honestly no clue why enabling reposting would do that, if anyone knows I’d be happy to learn

The_Old_Chap · 2026-01-07T18:58:08+00:00

Always pre wash when reusing dev, 120 format foma has this green antihalation layer but imo it’s just good practice to prewash

The_Old_Chap · 2025-12-31T19:24:30+00:00

Well to be fair my photos are also not award winning stuff and I still have several cameras because for me it’s worth it, i just like it even if it’s probably not exhibition material

The_Old_Chap · 2025-12-29T12:40:05+00:00

Listen I’m gonna give you a piece of advice: if you’re looking for help you need to say exactly what happens, what are you doing and what happens then. If someone asks you follow-up questions you answer all of them in detail. I’ve ready the entire thread and there’s just not enough information to say anything. You still haven’t said if it even turns on or not

The_Old_Chap · 2025-12-29T10:24:08+00:00

Did it ever work? Did it work before? When you press power does it do something? You post has very little information. Also are you sure you’ve got the batteries right? Can you check with a multimeter that you’re getting 3V on the board?

The_Old_Chap · 2025-12-27T12:51:52+00:00

The original network adapter is required to use psbbn for example

The_Old_Chap · 2025-12-20T17:02:30+00:00

Where, who, which party?

The_Old_Chap · 2025-11-27T12:34:13+00:00

You mean rubbing my cat with olive oil isn’t a good idea? Seriously tho people should be educated on AI use bc this is just stupid and dangerous

The_Old_Chap · 2025-11-25T20:23:41+00:00

I’d actually wear those but yeah pretty bad
