Steve , I don't need latex glove to turn Isos disc , but sometimes if it becomes too "hard"

to turn , I take this , not glove

A drop of olive oil in my disk fixed the issue a few years ago.

Olio vergine?

A joke when one newby might damage his ISO dial?

[Wyck]

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.

I have not turned the disc of my MP  the last 16  years I believe. I always have used 400 asa tri-x, agfapan or T-Max.

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!

Paulus, you are like me.

My MP is my M Monochrom. I use mainly 400 Isos and always Kodak TX400.

Westmalle is a actually very nice type of Belgium beer. Comes in 2 variants. Double (dark) and triple (light)

After a long day of streetphotography and camera loaded with Kodak tri-x I enjoyed that cold beer a lot.

Second picture has an interesting almost Graphical view.

 

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.

Wow, very impressive page of cameras and images and beer!  I had an opportunity to handle a new MP in a Leica store recently and I must say it felt different than my old M6, the bright viewfinder, crisp and solid shutter actuation had me thinking about an upgrade. I am both amazed and thankful that Leica is still manufacturing film cameras. Perhaps some day ...

The mechanical leica m is the porsche 911 under the cameras ..

It was the best in its kind, is the best and remains the best!

 

And it becomes more valuable with time
