jaapv Posted February 11, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted February 11, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) In winter are always looking for gloves that don't interfere with the camera handling. I got a sample pair of Smartgloves in the mail - very nice, warm and the camera handles well. Â I see that Amazon, amongst others stock them.

pico Posted February 11, 2014 Share #4 Â Posted February 11, 2014 I was refreshing Winter gear last Fall when a friend, a hunter, advised me to look at gloves like these, but without the camo design. The top pulls away to expose the fingers. I got them. They are good to about zero F. I'm still looking for a pair that are better. Â This brings up another point - extended controls for Winter use. I was working on an extended (tall) shutter speed dial but my machinist is happily too busy to take on new work. I already have three barely acceptable prototypes of lens focusing rings. Â .

IWC Doppel Posted February 14, 2014 Share #7 Â Posted February 14, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) If its cold and not supercold I use fingerless, if it's really cold then I have some nice thin lining gloves, warm enough and very thin. Both work well and I have my camera in hand for hours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krauklis Posted February 14, 2014 Share #8  Posted February 14, 2014 In winter are always looking for gloves that don't interfere with the camera handling....  I had been looking for the best "winter shooting gloves" for several years until I found these  http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-kundenforum/315255-winterfotografie-draussen-handschuhe.html  Big advantage: The free thumb, if necessary.  krauklis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2014 Share #9  Posted February 14, 2014 ...I was working on an extended (tall) shutter speed dial but my machinist is happily too busy to take on new work. I already have three barely acceptable prototypes of lens focusing rings. .  Now you're talking Tabless lenses are a pain, but there's a Dutch supplier of focussing rings. Noctilux users recommend him. One could grind a mark into that ring right where a tab would be. I had rings like this CNCed out of heavy black plastic for my R-100mm Apo-Macro. One sitting on the apperture ring with an extention and a parallel one on the non-moving corpus of the lens. Without looking I can open for focussing and close to f:8 when a stop on one ring touches a protuberance on the other. Being the only R lens I use on the Canon 1V, I prefer this to a SL or R body, needing extra batteries and training to use instinctively.  The tall shutter speed dial is for what M, if I may ask? Is it a replacement of the standard shutter speed dial or a snap-on to come on top of the existing one? Marking different shutter speeds (and also f stops on the lenses) with 2 different colours of nail polish in order to shoot without reading glasses (but with a + diopter correction in the viewfinder) is nothing new. A bigger dial wheel would be just great imo.  As far as the gloves are concerned, I bought two pairs suggested in this thread, which are available in Europe, but had no chance to test them. No winter round here this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted February 15, 2014 Share #10  Posted February 15, 2014 I have a pair of convertible mittens similar to these: https://www.simmsfishing.com/shop/socks-gloves/windstopper-foldover-mitt.html  I highly recommend this type of glove/mitten. They are warm enough for all but bitter cold and are highly versatile for photography use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Â Here is one I adapted to my 35mm Summilux: I now have something similar, but deeper on the Canon f/0.95, and a Leicagoodies Steer for the 75mm Summilux. No help at all so far for the tabbed Summitar which is impossible to focus without using the tab. Â The tall shutter speed dial is for what M, if I may ask? [...] A bigger dial wheel would be just great imo. Â So far, only for the M4 and M7 bodies. It is a spare shutter speed dial mated on top of the stock one. Advance lever is no issue since I use only motor-winds and Abrahamsson Rapid Winders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a custom-made wheel with a bigger diameter? I'll try to work on it, also because my film bodies are M6TTL which turn the same way as the shutter speed dial on the digital ones. Unfortunately my mechanic has two new femur heads and his wife doesn't let him leave the house anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately my mechanic has two new femur heads and his wife doesn't let him leave the house anymore.  My best machinist, an old-school fellow from before the age of CNC retired and fell into the hell of alcoholism. He is unapproachable now. The alternate machinist is all CNC, rather more of a machine operator than the Real Thing and as I said, he is too busy for small jobs like mine. ...and I fear I am not smart enough to learn CAD.  Are you familiar with Custom Online CNC Machine Shop | Free CAD Software  I wish your machinist well with his hip replacement. If it helps, everyone I know who has gone through the same have fared very well and are entirely happy with the outcome.  Best, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
