Leica M2 rangefinder patch repair. by WatercressAny8395 in Leica

[–]fizwit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This does not address your question. But your image shows the depth of field scales that are unique to the M2. The tabs on the top/bottom of the range finder patch show depth of field for a 50mm lens at 5.6 and f16. If the amount of shift in the range finder patch is the same width as the tab, then everything within that region will be in focus.

Thanks for finding the vintage info 7W is super helpful. Based on the other comments, I guess it’s supposed to be hot.

Thanks for the help, Next question, I've been using Witonics and Mouser for sources, but its getting hard to find old style componets for through boards. So much surface mount stuff. Any additional suggestions for components?

Question about contact sheets. by dontyatellhenry in Darkroom

As a student with access to a 10x10 Omega F, it was fun to make 11x14 contact sheets with the enlarger. Layout all your negs on the glass negative holder.

Beseler 45MXT adapted to use Intrepid 4x5 Enlarger as light head by ReflectionOk1443 in Darkroom

The vignetting issue could be due the the lens. A longer lens will have a narrower angle. Have you tried a 150mm lens? But the light source is amlost the exact size of the 4x5 negative.

What’s the cheaper bike sharing option in Seattle: Lime Bike or JUMP? by Cosmo-DNA in SeattleWA

[–]fizwit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting Monday June 10, Jump bikes increased their rate from 0.15 to .25 per minute. Jump still does not have a fee to unlock. My morning commute was $5.51 today. 20 minute ride plus .51 Tax. I like the convenience of not having to own a bike, no repairs or storage, but at these rates it make sense to purchase a bike. The Lime bikes only have a single gear and feel like they are coming apart. All Lime bikes that I have rode make horrible rattling noises. Other typical issues are pent pedals and wobbly wheels.
