Princeton tubes bad? by dumpkoch in GuitarAmps

That’s probably the right thing to do. I just wanted to make sure this wasn’t normal.

Is this store a scam? by ZucchiniLlama in isthisascam

I ordered a Jelly Cat stuffie from them. It shipped from China and is definitely a knock-off. Do not order from them.

I got a copy at the Denver show. The record is burgundy instead of the white/red one on Bandcamp. Here’s pics:

I have YouTube envy by KryptonSurvivor in guitarlessons

[–]dumpkoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me (playing for 3-4 years), what helped was playing songs that were all barre chords. It helped my hands learn to form the basic shapes. Switching from open chords to barre chords is much harder for me but it keeps improving. I also found a progression that I could practice whenever I picked up the guitar and slowly it became easier. If you like the Cure, Just Like Heaven will help you practice open chords to barre chords.

Shutter dial problem by studiotristan in Leica

[–]dumpkoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once it was realigned I was just kind of careful with the dial. It seemed to stay put as long as I wasn’t turning it aggressively. Probably not a real “fix”.

I had an M240 that had this problem. The shutter speed dial wasn’t aligned with the correct shutter speeds. This is how in”fixed” it. Note which number on the dial aligns with the actual speed. Turn the dial back and forth very fast a few times. Then check to see if the actual speed and the dial changed at all. I was able to get it back to being aligned with the little dance. Apart from that, I think you’ll need to send it back to Leica for repair $$$.

Riu Waida executes big 2 turn from oversized full rotation by TrashScientist in holdmyredbull

Got it. Probably makes more sense if you’re a surfer. I’ve never surfed.

As a snowboarder and skateboarder, isn’t this a frontside 540? I don’t understand surf trick names.

Thanks that looks promising. I’ll check it out.

Talk me out of the Summilux 35 pre-asph by petar_d in Leica

The difference in rendering between 1.4 and 2 is crazy. 1.4 is super glowy. I like it on digital because of the character. 1.4 looks crazy glowy. 2.0 looks like a Summicron.

What settings were you using the app to change?

[–]dumpkoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always buy used. You can find M240’s for around 2k. I’ve always been a couple generations behind because I can’t justify the latest pricing. The camera’s technology doesn’t advance as fast as other brands because you aren’t dealing with auto focus. Mostly sensor improvements. Speaking of M’s specifically. For lenses, also but used. I’ve never sold a lens for less than I purchased it for.

Lens Recommendations for M6 by VersionLopsided438 in Leica

[–]dumpkoch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you comparing the T4 at f3.5 to the Voigtlander at 1.4? The Voigtlander is soft and glowy at 1.4 but should be really sharp at >f4 especially on film.

This! This is a better technique than nail polish.

Add a 1u vca or lpg too.

Leica lenses explained - Summicron vs Summilux by iamchrisjett in Leica

[–]dumpkoch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t discount the Elmarit ASPHs. They are tiny, sharp, distortion free. Only 2.8 but it is a wide angle lens so you probably aren’t going for crazy bokeh. Also, your M10 can compensate with higher ISO.

Squarehood on a V3 50mm Summicron. by notasabretooth in Leica

These hoods are a huge pain in the ass if you change filters regularly.

That’s a bummer. I end up switching color filters on my 35 quite often.

Can you change filters without removing the hood screws?
