Where DID you find the serial number? I went to File>file info>camera data 1 (camera data 2) and got every other bit of info EXCEPT the serial number. "Advanced" wasn't very helpful either. Thanks in advance for any help with this.--martha

 

If you use any newer version of PS you must also use Bridge or at least have it on your computer. Just open Bridge and look at the EXIF. The serial is there for all to see.

The message was meant for the guy who lost his camera. By the way, why is a girl playing with a Leica? Most women only play with point and shoot or autofocus cameras

 

Aren't you the guy who a few weeks ago hardly knew how to hold and focus with your M9?:o Something like: "help me my X1 takes sharper pictures than my M9", was your thread.

Trust me there are plenty of ladies who run circles around you, one legged, blindfolded and full drunk, when it comes to shoot (Leica) RF or any other serious camera for that matter, and especially on this forum:eek:.

despite the fact that he neglected to put in a winking emoticon, i'd like to believe it was all in good fun.

 

Well it didn't read that way and I'm sure that Mark2 can apologize for his behavior without you making excuses for him.

 

Sadly, some men really do mean that, and it's better if one doesn't minimize or apologize for misbehavior.

 

you have to be a little thick-skinned when you're a female photographer... especially when your name is androgynous (it really is just "cam") and people are surprised when they meet you that you're actually a girl :rolleyes:

 

No, I don't have to be thick-skinned. I'm here as a photographer, not as an object of ridicule. I'd like to believe that the 50% of humanity who are also interested in Leica cameras are also welcome here.

 

Edited to add: if you're going to be an ally, try to be an ally to the women rather than the person who made the insensitive remark. I realize you're female, and I've certainly been "assumed male" myself, but still....

the fact that he hasn't come back to say anything in his own defense speaks volumes. very sad.

 

however, i am comfortable enough in my own skin and talent so i chose to minimise it. sue me. it's how i deal with it. if i spent my anger on every clueless wanker i come across on the internet, i would be consumed. he frankly isn't worth it.

 

as for this forum as a whole, i have not felt an ounce of sexism before this. they occasionally may forget we exist, but Nicoleica quickly sorts that out :D

 

if anything, i have been treated just as i care to be -- a fellow photographer with questions and answers, strong opinions, etc. it's the reason i'm here. i am not treated any better or worse for my sex and that is the way i prefer it.

see above. i am here as a photographer, not as a feminist. i'll let you carry that torch, if you feel the need. i don't.

 

 

******************************************************

but, in the meanwhile, i would like to thank those (bill, Shootist, Ecaton) that came to my sex's defense.

 

thank you.

Indeed. I don't carry torches often, but every once in a while I realize I need to hold one for a moment.

 

Good people here and good camera knowledge.

I found out the reason why my M9 couldn't take sharp pictures was because it needed adjustments. This is what the service centre told me. After that it was fine. Most people at the forum were trying to tell me that I didn't know how to focus. Not smart advice, not many pointed out the real reason. Many tried to sound like experts. So it was coming from you ladies :). No wonder.

Okay Mark, you were right about your camera not focusing. That's a technical matter where it was either adjusted right or not. But that does not give you a free pass to badmouth the women on this forum. First, you are generalizing, which is is the highest form of prejudice; second, you're a bit nasty about it, and maybe deliberately so, smiley face notwithstanding. This forum has a lot of very classy and helpful people, women and men who visit here to help and be helped. That doesn't mean that every post is right, but I think people operate here in good faith. That's the social contract. If you don't like that, that is your problem.

thank you, Alan...

 

***********************

 

but smiley face or no, what i found truly offensive about Mark2's post was ridiculing the bad advice he got from the ladies.

 

there were, in fact, no ladies on that thread.

 

rather, he was calling all you men who were trying to be helpful "ladies" as an insult :rolleyes:

 

if he only knew... but he truly hasn't a clue.

That's right so it is best to let this matter drop, learn from what was posted and if anyone so chooses place that person on their ignore list.

Doruk, how can you leave your camera in the car especially in Istanbul??

 

At the beginning I was keeping my Leica M9 and two lenses in the safe box in my house, later I found it so unpractical :), now I still have some obscessions, keeping them all in the wardrope in the second floor.

 

I know some people in Istanbul in the second hand market of Leica, if you want I can give their mobile numbers, they may help you.

 

I am very sorry for your camera.. :(

 

okay... I'm running out of patience. It seems like you've changed your mind? cuz i get no any reponse to my pms. Sorry but I feel like you're ignoring me for some reason.

Maybe time to close this one. Everything useful and sympathetic to the OP has been said. The explosion of off-topic discussion is unacceptable both from content and inuendo, regardless of whether it is neutralised by a smiley or two.

 

IMHO

Prompted by Constable, I have read back over the last few days of this thread and agree it's natural life has expired. If anyone wants or needs this thread to continue they can PM me. Meanwhile, I will close it.
