albertwang Posted August 16, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2006 It takes two to unscrew a Noct from an M6... oops, stripped the mount off. Ouchers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest menze_as Posted August 16, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 16, 2006 you forgot the ones calling for the moderator to close the thread or eliminate the trolls ... and the ones who claim that they are professional bulb changer, and therefore have to state that it is absolutely wrong to change the bulb from above - one has to do it from right hand ... and the ones who say "why changing the bulb - let it be, energy anyway costs too much" ...

gylee Posted August 17, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 17, 2006 People on this forum are using lightbulbs? What the hell is wrong with candles?!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masjah Posted August 17, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 17, 2006 Not to mention the ultra-cautious member (quite possibly me) who feels that it is safer to return the whole bayonet fitting to Solms for them to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimF Posted August 17, 2006 Share #7 Posted August 17, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not to mention the ultra-cautious member (quite possibly me) who feels that it is safer to return the whole bayonet fitting to Solms for them to do it. Or me, having once had the bulb section come away from the mount when attempting to remove it, so I had to fiddle about to extract the wretched thing. Long time ago now, but it comes back every time a bulb doesn't come out cleanly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted August 17, 2006 Share #10 Posted August 17, 2006 I don't know about Leica Forum members but if they are Episcopalians you will need three. One to call the electrician and two to mix the Martini's. Cheers, Wilfredo+ Benitez-Rivera Photography Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steed Posted August 17, 2006 Share #11 Posted August 17, 2006 and at least two to argue that there is no need to change light bulbs if one rubs sticks together, and that Leica should just make sticks and forget the rest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmsr Posted August 19, 2006 Share #12 Posted August 19, 2006 But how many do we need to ask the all important question about whether the bulbs are analog or digital? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frc Posted August 19, 2006 Share #14 Posted August 19, 2006 Hi Harmsr, The lightbulb, it is commonly knqwn, is binary. See for the 6 bit code on the flange to convince yoursef. Candles are not, they were invented before the industrial revelution took place. The first purist already emerged! Read the alarming post Gylee sent in.

gberger Posted August 19, 2006 Share #16 Posted August 19, 2006 Wilfredo - Those are Liberal Episcopalians. It also takes three Conservative Episcopalians: One to change the bulb; one to complain about how the older light bulbs were better than the new; one to mix the proper Martinis (1/3 Vermouth, 2/3 Gilby's Gin). After all, we must observe tradition! George (The Old Fud) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
