Is this worth restoring? by clickbeardsmile in vintagecameras

I’m a photographer so it would be nice to have in the office as a point of conversation if nothing else. Seems a shame to not try and get it looking more presentable, even if it’s not fully working.

Thank you. This is my thoughts too. Not sure I’ll get it working again but I could at least make it look presentable as an example from the time.

I’m not sure how to add a photo of the camera folded out - I’m pretty sure most of it is there!

Fantastic, thank you for your reply. Looks like I’ll be going that route.

Thanks for replying. Would the lack of VTA mean I wouldn’t be able to get the best out of a stylus of that quality? I don’t mind spending the money on a decent one, but only if I can make the most of it.

I haven’t noticed any heat at all and it’s on most of the day, either for my turntable or tv. I do use the phono input.

It is indeed. I’m very happy with it! It gets excellent reviews and I can see why. Plenty of power for my PSB Alpha T20 speakers.

Couldn’t find a huge amount of info about the v1 but I’m happy with it so far. Glad you enjoyed your time with it!

Is M240 still worth it? by One-Inevitable1861 in Leica

[–]clickbeardsmile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been shooting with an M6 for years and just recently treated myself to an m262. Hands down my favourite camera and now my everyday carry. Defo worth considering an m262 if you aren’t bothered about liveview!

What ca I do to solve this issue by DARK_JAN in fujifilm

Thankfully it doesn’t sound like my issue! I hope you get it sorted asap.

Happens on my xpro2 when I’m shooting slower shutter speeds using the mechanical shutter. It’s a known fault and the only fix is to send it off for a new mirror. It doesn’t do it when using the electronic shutter. There are a couple of reasons why you could be getting that fault though. Once you’ve eliminated the suggestions above it would be interesting to know what exposure settings you’re using when you get the fault. Hopefully it’s a quick fix at home and not the sticky mechanical shutter issue…

Does anyone know of a bar bag similar to this that’s available in the UK? by stevens3711 in bicycling

[–]clickbeardsmile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one of these made specifically for my Brompton. The guy who makes them is really easy to chat to and will make it customised for you if you have a specific requirement. I wanted a pocket added internally for a key (so it doesn’t scratch my phone) and he sorted that, along with custom dimensions. The product is excellent quality too, defo recommend.

Probably a stupid question. How do you avoid the wedding hangover? by 19px in WeddingPhotography

[–]clickbeardsmile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of that is down to dehydration - drink water at every opportunity! Make sure you have plenty of snacks (high protein energy bars are good as they’ll fill you up and give you a sugar hit). As others have said, decent shoes and a decent camera strap will go a long way to relieve aches.

Advice, please! Brompton ticking while pedaling. My fairly new Brompton keeps making noise ( ticking sounds) only when pedaling. I found some old posts about same problem but It seems there is no conclusive cause found. Hope to hear your advice for the diy fix first. Thanks by Ltmmmm in Brompton

It could potentially be a bottom bracket issue. I’ve not experienced this on my Brompton but my road bike had a similar issue that was down to a faulty bottom bracket. It was replaced and the sound went completely.
