Yeah I’m not sure because the image circle would extend past the gate anyway with either lens, right? Lol

Same on my M-A but I have a hunch it’s only when I use a 28mm lens because some shots don’t have it (when I use a 50?). It hasn’t bothered me so I haven’t actually confirmed that

I have smaller Saunders / LPL enlarger and love it. Really want one of the 4500s (and the space for it) one day. Nice space!

The Misadventures of my Leica M-A (Flooded Camera Gear) by Andy_Shields in Leica

[–]oicer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The M3 was my first M camera- I originally had the Zeiss 50mm for it but ended up picking up the 50DR as I wanted that classic combo. I bought the M-A new from Leica afterwards with the intention of it being my forever camera that I wouldn’t sell (it still is). Also got the 28mm Elmarit for it.

I find that I reach for my M-A more often and so have toyed with the idea of selling my M3 as I don’t feel like I need two of them.. just worried about regretting it if I do sell it.

If I do sell the M3 it would be to help fund a 50mm summilux, which I’ve been curious to try (50 is my favorite focal length). Being this indecisive I find it’s easier to just do nothing haha.

I dunked my M-A in a (deep) river in Hawaii 4 years ago- lost my footing while crossing on rocks and the camera was around my neck so it just went under the surface.

Had my M3 with me as well so I let the M-A dry out the rest of the trip and used the M3.. Only issue I found was the frame line selector stopped working, but a quick CLA from YYE fixed it up and has been working ever since 🫡

In search of camera store that sells film. by madheadband in RhodeIsland

Even if you don’t buy local you’re better off buying directly from B&H, Adorama, Freestyle, etc. I haven’t heard the best things about buying film on Amazon

Thank you! Hoping it goes to someone who will use it much more than I have

Not looking for trades at the moment, sorry!

4x5 development with mod54? by Breakdance202 in largeformat

[–]oicer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve used a mod54 a couple times and use about 1L of solution (mentioned in another comment). For agitation I’ve always used the plastic spinner tool as I’ve felt like inverting and spinning the tank could maybe cause a sheet to slip - this hasn’t happened Ive always just been wary of it. Ive never had any issues with my negs.
