bocaburger Posted May 22, 2012 Share #61 Posted May 22, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) by the looks the 4 screws all sheared off pretty neatly? Or will the entire top have to be replaced? Methinks Leica made the foot of the flash too strong:eek: A good example that something made of plastic isn't always crap...or that something made of metal always isn't. PS. lucky thing you had your trousers on (I assume), or you could've had to perform a different kind of extraction than you were trained for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lars_bergquist Posted May 22, 2012 Share #63 Posted May 22, 2012 Blimey! Another reason not to use flash! Hope you get it sorted soon. Regards, Bilk Think of what would have happend if the poor devil had sat on a large glass flashbulb, complete with Edison screw fitting. That could well have been the equivalent of a root canal job.

giordano Posted May 22, 2012 Share #64 Posted May 22, 2012 Jaap, I have to ask, can't resist the temptation any longer. Might it be appropriate to merge this thread with the one about mixing Leicas and alcohol? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ming Rider Posted May 22, 2012 Share #66 Posted May 22, 2012 Unless my eyes deceive me, hasn't the hotshoe taken a chunk of the PCB with it as well? Nonetheless, a disturbing sight. Ergh, I think I'm gonna vomit . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rramesh Posted May 23, 2012 Share #70 Posted May 23, 2012 Hey Moderators, why are you not doing your job??? This thread should obviously be combined with the "Does Leica and Alcohol Mix?" thread. Or how about merging with Have you dropped your ? Tell your story.. Jaap, with the right skin and covering up the top plate creatively, you might even pass it off as Hermes edition.

Besides, bulbs work with as little as three volts, and the large reflector would obviate, ah, a deep problem. -- Pico - down to two of the Mazda 75 flashbulbs.

jaapv Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share #76 Posted June 21, 2012 Well, actually nothing fractured except for two little screws. The other two just tore loose. Nothing wrong with the camera top ot the hotshoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
