I think it's a variation on the Heimlich Manoeuvre when used on someone in a full rubber bondage outfit. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Hi farnz, Take a look here I love my MP. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
IkarusJohn Posted March 16, 2011 Share #2062 Posted March 16, 2011 When comparing the above B&W image to the colour image in post #2051, the B&W image is so much more attractive. I don't know what pp Martin has done to the colour imagine, but I find it seriously unattractive (sorry, Martin). Cheers John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin Posted March 16, 2011 Share #2064 Posted March 16, 2011 thanks to all, I too don't like the color version, it's created on a ugly thinkpad R500 with one of the badest displays I've ever seen :-) GH could be that: 1. Convert image to LAB Color. Close original image. 2. Delete "B" and "A" layers. 3. Duplicate the "L" layer. 4. Select gray channel. Channel to selection. 5. Invert selection. Select > Invert. 6. Change image mode to RGB. 7. Select a yellowish to light yellow or brown color or any other color you wish. 8. Fill selection with chosen color. Edit > Fill with FG color. 9. Change top layer mode to multiply. 10. Tweak levels and/or curves as you like. 11. Select > None. 12. Flatten image. this works with photoshop or gimp, and it's a very good way for conversion I think, my latest image is taken with a cellphon sony ericsson 902 :-') 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

menos I M6 Posted March 16, 2011 Share #2067 Posted March 16, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Very nice in Vulcanite Andy! I really like the Vulcanite on my user M8.2 and think, it is the best cover of all, I tried. So far though, I plan, to stick with the new standard Sandpaper MP and think, it isn't too bad actually. As this is the " …love my MP - and bag thread" - what is that bag in the background - the textile looks nice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted March 16, 2011 Share #2072 Posted March 16, 2011 Wow, there's that dream team of yours again, Dan. Magnificent! ... and kind of costly to accidentally drop over the side of a boat I should think. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can't be done with sandpaper Seriously, I see people using foreign devices, to give their gear a "proper" look like the people, who ridiculously slashed their jeans back in the 90's ;-) I always wore my jeans. I love the black paint Leica finish, as the camera indeed get's more dear to one - prevents from selling it and makes one using it more. Like in real life, I prefer things all natural. I think, by accident, I yesterday bumped into Japanese photographer Yukihiko Shima. It was so quick and I so in thoughts, rushing my film to the counter, that I even didn't greet him properly. Hanging from his neck was a Leica, that almost blinded me by the blinking brass. Only a few minutes after did I realize. The pictures from the M8.2 show just a barely used electronic device by comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

menos I M6 Posted March 18, 2011 Share #2075 Posted March 18, 2011 Yesterday, I got my Leicavit MP for the MP. It is an ingenious addition to the body. You have now two possibilities to wind, depending on situation and how you shoot. I am a left eye shooter, which makes winding with the film advance lever an operation, where you always have to take the camera away from the face - the Leicavit solves this entirely - very nice! At the moment, it feels like switching from a manual transmission car to an automatic transmission, always having to remind yourself, to not stamp with your left foot on the bigger brake pedal, when you want to shift ;-) It is also quite a bit louder and as rattly smooth, like a Nikon FM, but that is ok for now. The camera fits large hands much better with the Leicavit too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 19, 2011 Share #2076 Posted March 19, 2011 I'm a lucky boy. I have just ordered my first ever new Leica body (a Digilux 3 doesn't count) Black paint 0.58 finder Black leather Basic scripting With a bit of luck, it will be here before my holiday in June, but if it isn't, I'm not worried. I'm not impatient and I like the idea of some skilled person building a camera just for me. If it arrives after we get back, that'll be just fine too - it's not like I don't have other cameras to use. Looking forward to slowing down even more... and refinding enthusiasm again. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted March 19, 2011 Share #2078 Posted March 19, 2011 Lucky boy indeed. BP and leather goodness aside, 0.58x is the perfect VF for a 35mm lens, IMO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
