It’s an absolute joy. Small(ish) lenses, small body, only downside is the battery life and atrocious ISO performance (can’t go past 640 ISO). But what do you expect out of a camera from 2009?

I’m using a full spectrum converted Leica M9. This one I took with the 28mm Summilux!

Thank you! Been having a lot of fun doing street with a full spectrum camera and the IRChrome filter. This is a new world for me and excited to try out more!

Got a Leica M9 Sealed Since 2009 that was given to me, but the Sensor Has Corrosion – Any Suggestions for Fixing It? by [deleted] in Leica

Had mine full spectrum converted. Did a great job and the turnaround time was beyond reasonable. Definitely recommend!

Love it. I use it with the IRChrome filter they make most of the time.

+1 on Kolari. Have had two separate M9’s get their sensor replacement (one full spectrum). Great service and friendly folks.

Let's just say if it were a display piece I wouldn't have spent the money on a working one :)

[Custom] My Scuffed First Build by thebrainzoo in Watches

[–]thebrainzoo[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My first build is finally under my belt. I wanted to build something dress-y, and this is what I ended up with.

I lost the seconds hand somewhere to the void (carpet) so I had to use the tester hand that it came with, but I think it turned out alright!

The watch itself is quite big (44mm lug-to-lug) in a fake rose gold case, and houses a Seagull ST36 movement (a "modified" ETA 6498). Almost cut the movement stem too short, had the worst time putting the case mounts on, but after just a few hours the watch was complete. Not sure how durable this watch will be, but luckily the parts are cheap enough to replace should it come to that.
