Guest Posted June 10, 2017 Share #3663 Posted June 10, 2017 Olio vergine? A joke when one newby might damage his ISO dial? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyck Posted June 10, 2017 Share #3664 Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Mine has just gone back to Wetzlar. Purchased new in February this year and the viewfinder is full of dust, I've also asked if they can look at the ISO dial as it's almost impossible to turn. However, as Doc Henry suggests a piece of rubber between finger and ISO dial and one can just about get enough purchase to adjust the dial. I'm sure it will ease with use too.

pico Posted June 10, 2017 Share #3667 Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Wattsy - Don @ Dag has just got back to me and he has the screw in stock @ $30 - just in case any one out there needs the same! Dag has overhead, including the support of his collecting, cataloging very odd fasteners. Jump on the deal. But for Leica, what were they thinking? I suspect a flawed answering script. I'll bet very many DIY people here have the screw ... somewhere! Edited June 10, 2017 by pico 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulus, you are like me. My MP is my M Monochrom. I use mainly 400 Isos and always Kodak TX400. Henry Edited June 11, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Street I like tri-x since it is more grainy and constrast. For other I use Tmax since it has better/nicer tonescale in my view. I use xtol 1:1 on all my film. On 120 roll and 4x5 inch i use Tmax 400 as well. It Looks really fantastic on 4x5 inch. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
