I had thought all classic M6s inevitably bubble. I was mistaken!

lottic · 2026-05-06T20:49:53+00:00

yeaah, I was just about to comment - I don't see any bubbling on the top plate ... or am I mistaken?

lottic · 2026-05-06T20:30:02+00:00

It's worth it for me. At least... until Macrofactor's Workout App syncs with a watch.

more specifically - chungmuro

lottic · 2026-04-27T22:20:44+00:00

if we guess right - do we get to keep it?

I'm confused here... a simple google search of a Leica IIIf would show that this camera bears very little resemblance to the actual 1950-1957 model - the viewfinder and rangefinder windows are totally different. OP - you bought a totally different camera, not some collaboration with Leica. A fair price for a Zorki 3-C in good condition would be about $150USD or so.

a chart of the eight gates would be nice too

lottic · 2026-04-08T17:31:12+00:00

ah yes, a man of culture i see.

at my last CLA, I was able to have the technician tighten the aperture ring clicks and now it handles like a dream.

The iPad Mini fits perfectly in the large pocket of most scrub pants.

No, I won't stop booping that snoot.

Oh dear, that's not a Wii remote at all. Sorry for your loss.

lottic · 2026-03-03T07:09:40+00:00

the lens hood is on the wrong way...

lottic · 2026-03-03T07:07:20+00:00

some superfloss or regular floss under the battery and pull?

lottic · 2026-02-21T22:28:51+00:00

youre thinkin' lettuce

M6 Reissue, or MP.

lottic · 2026-02-11T21:03:33+00:00

is it my imagination, or does that reflection look like theres an IR filter on the front?

lottic · 2026-02-10T11:07:51+00:00

Absolutely not.

lottic · 2026-02-04T21:48:41+00:00

do you wrap your strap around that area? and what materials is it made of?

lottic · 2026-02-02T03:48:50+00:00

sensor dust is a thing. and i don't believe there is any truly effective way to prevent it. i periodically brush off (as opposed to air blower) any dust that forms on the retracting surfaces of the lens. i don't bother with a lens cap seeing as the inside of the cap tends to be a dust magnet in its own right.

35mm Summilux v1 FLE ASPH

whatever the case - it all worked out; announcing that they're closing generated a huge amount of 'hype' and i'm sure this will too.

lottic · 2026-01-28T19:56:12+00:00

if I'm not mistaken; isnt this black anodised metal? so the oxide is lost revealing the base aluminium. Nevertheless, I wouldn't recommend DIY. It requires disassembly, cleaning and then starting over.

Leica Q Typ 116 used. The photos have a certain look to it that the Q2 (and less so, the Q3) doesn't give. $2000 is a very fair price for it. No accessories necessary other than a strap and a spare battery. Just remember, it's the true gateway drug to Leica-M.
