JBA Posted January 26, 2009 Share #882 Posted January 26, 2009 Oww Lens hood as airbag. I'm incredibly lucky that the hood is what hit first! Also, that this lens, with its big, fat hood was on the camera at the time. I stumbled going up a flight of granite stairs at a good clip with the camera strap slung over one shoulder. Instinctively, I reached out to catch myself and before I knew what was happening, the camera was down on the step in front of me, upside-down, backwards. Good thing it's tough!

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted January 26, 2009 Share #883 Posted January 26, 2009 That´s really bad, you got my big sympathy on this one. Hope it can relieve, that this happened (and happens) to others as well. My cameras were: M6 and R9, each a few years apart, so I could save for the repair. From the looks it´s the hood only, hopefully. Thx for you braveness posting these pics.

gyoung Posted February 6, 2009 Share #885 Posted February 6, 2009 Oww Lens hood as airbag. Did the same thing with my M6ttl, the plastic hood on the aspheris summicron saved it! Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_x2004 Posted February 7, 2009 Share #892 Posted February 7, 2009 Yea but I never dropped a camera. "Shipment in process." probably means sitting on some shelf waiting for Leicas cash flow to post it. Maybe they put a sail on the box. Ps ... I hear Erl is developing his favourite Trix @ 0.25 seconds today. Pac Hwy is cut up here again with fires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_n Posted February 11, 2009 Share #897 Posted February 11, 2009 I also have Griptac on my MP, wonderful stuff - and the v.1 Summicron 35 also! We have very similar taste. I actually like to use the Summicron a bit more, I find the Hex a bit small for me - nothing wrong with the pictures though, it is a cracking lens!

stanoops Posted February 12, 2009 Share #898 Posted February 12, 2009 Peter, nice to here about your settings...quite simmilar indeed. I like a lot the v.1 summicron and sometimes in BW i like it more than the hexanon but overall i like the smaller feeling of the MP with the UChex. Few years ago my favorite camera was an Hexar AF wich has the same lens 35/2 ( like UChex) , an absolute wonderful tool. Sommetimes I miss it.
