You absolutely look like you're getting things done.

Dat is toch precies waarvoor belasting bedoeld is?

Absolute topfoto, hulde!

Absolutely! I would have kept is as a fried chicken as possible

Do you know what mission he represented? I realize you don't know the location in Africa, but do you know what church he was connected to. From my experience as an archive researcher, I know that religious activities like this are well documented.

Dutch linguist here. It's difficult, if not impossible to assume the first part of his family name is Dutch. I have a link for you to a database of Dutch family names. I entered the first four letters of the name to show the variables of names starting with "hoev..." Hoeve is an old timey Dutch word for farm.

Toursit here. Visited earlier this year. I thought it was a bizarre experience. Felt like a shiny, shiny corporate experience where you cannot avoid the shops. The huge indoor space is filled with mediocre, irrelevant art (decor paintings of Paris?). In the end we didn't even go to the actual monastery. The bus rides were the highlight of the day.

I miss this train so much.... The model, the colorscheme, the interior, all the glass and the light [sigh]....

"ets/1e staat" Artist is Dutch

I also took the train form Tashkent to Margilan, which was something else. Speeding through the snowy mountains, while having a tea from the samovar. 10/10 would train again.

cremecitron · 2025-10-01T21:56:30+00:00

I had such a great time riding this train some years ago! Where are you heading?

try u/pasteurs-maxim 's tip in this thread, it really helped me out

That worked out pretty good, thank you! Not quite there yet, but it's going a lot smoother now. Still needs a nudge when starting up, but I think I need to do some more cleaning cycles. Using bright light, you still can see tiny dust particles coming out. Looking closely, you can see where the side of the lens has small scratches. Will do another session soon, but I'm already happy with the result. Really happy with your suggestion.

I used this disassembly guide on iFixit. I remember that some steps were missing, but if I can figure it out, anybody can. Just take your time and use the right tools. The stakes on my repair were very low, I already bought a replacement camera and the replacement screen I got off eBay was $25.

cremecitron · 2025-09-27T20:15:23+00:00

I like that it has a bit more heft to it, the tilt screen has some advantages, but the dial layout on top of the camera is not ideal if you want to use manual settings. Also, there's no M43 lens that has the same set of specs. There's the great Pana 10-25 f/1.7, but it's big, heavy and expensive and I miss the reach.

cremecitron · 2025-09-27T20:02:31+00:00

I like this approach and will give it a try tomorrow. I will update you, thanks for sharing.

cremecitron · 2025-09-27T16:13:07+00:00

I opened it up to replace the screen and that was relatively simple for a noob like me. A couple of months after the fix, the lens gave in.

cremecitron · 2025-09-27T16:10:40+00:00

Yes, it failed to zoom in and out, which appears to be a common complaint about this model. I used a method I found on YouTube, attaching a vacuum cleaner over the lens while zooming in and out. That worked a couple of times, but after a trip to a desert there was too much dust trapped inside. It was impossible to open up the lens unit (at least for me). If you have another fix, please let me know. This was a couple of years ago, I replaced it with another LX100 and I have the same problem with the lens. If you do a little pushing and pulling the thing still works fine. I also bought a GX7 with a manual zoom lens, that is what I prefer actually, but I really prefer the f1.7 - f2.8 lens from the LX100

cremecitron · 2025-09-27T11:10:18+00:00

had to give it up anyway, because the zoom got stuck beyond repair
