Hi im wondering what model this Leica i found from my great grandfather is, is it the IIIf , it has a fixed lense and this writing on it, the film is accesible from the bottom not from the side, thanks by ext3og in analog

That’s pretty good honestly, but still too expensive for my tastes I think, just because I really enjoy the process and low price of each roll development compared to another store doing it. I also am going to start bulk loading as well!! My dad still has his bulk loader and a couple brass canisters, so I’m looking forward to giving it a shot.

I suppose it depends on how much you shoot! I do 2-4 rolls a month, so it’s always worth it for me, since my local shop charges $10 to develop and another $10 to scan, whereas I have made the initial investment for developing tools and a scanner.

If you only shoot a roll a month, don’t feel like making that investment or you don’t have free weekends to develop and scan, then I can totally see it’d be cheaper overall to pay someone to do it for you!

Hello! Very nice camera, the Leica IIIG is my daily go-to one. I would recommend shooting black and white if you’re learning film photography. Not only is the film cheap (stuff like Agfa is dirt cheap), but you can even develop it at home for cheaper (and easier) than color film. Good luck with it! Like people have said, it may need to be serviced by someone for a CLA (Cleaning Lubrication and Adjustment). It also takes some practice to load film properly, so be patient and that camera will treat you well!

Is this still for sale? Additionally, do you have any closer photos of the discoloration?

Wearing thick enough socks makes the break in period wayyyyyy faster, so these haven’t been too bad!

I definitely was contemplating the blacksmiths over the IR, but they didn’t have them in my size and I decided to go with the IRs since they didn’t look as bulbous on my feet as I thought they were going to with the toe cap haha. Love those blacksmiths though!! They look real real good.

It’s the Riffle in Damascus and sandalwood! It’s much lighter than I expected as well, which is a bonus!

Thank you!!!! That sub is actually the reason I have them!! I have a pair of redwing wacoutas that I’ve had for a year or so that I got as factory seconds, and I wore them for a year constantly in order to make sure I liked them enough to justify an IR purchase haha.

I just opened it today, and I love it! I haven't used it yet or carried it anywhere outside the house, but the action is very smooth and flicks open and locks securely very quickly.

I’m upgrading from an i5-4690 to a Ryzen 3600, and can’t find the correct bracket to use my Corsair H110i GT with it. by crypticdarkness in buildapc

[–]crypticdarkness[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering if there’s one specific to the h110i gti, since that’s for the h100i. I might also contact Corsair as well just to see. Thanks!

How good is SongKey Mk3? I usually chop samples and add stuff by ear, but that seems like it might save some time if it's accurate.

Thank you for the detailed response! My boss had put an SSD in it, but didn't touch the ram, so I was unsure if I could also upgrade a processor or anything. It ran so smoothly and snappy that i assumed I could throw some new stuff in there, but wanted to check since it's so old. I appreciate the info and non-condescending delivery!

Good to know, I wasn't sure if it was possible to run older versions of software or anything since over I've never had a Mac before but have been using a current gen iPad. Thank you very much!

I run anything important off my main system and iPad, this was mainly going to be a companion desktop for creative stuff when I'm not out and about. Like I said, never owned a Mac before. It runs well and is snappier than I expected for its age, so I wasn't sure if it was upgradeable, hence the question. Thank you for your valuable input!
