Yes, I will wait until something else goes wrong, then send it for repair and CLA.

Welcome to the club 🙂(y)!

thanks for the info :)!

So, My M3 still works ok, all shutter speeds are working. But as you can see in video below - shutter dial is loose, and when changing shutter speeds - there is no distinguished click - it is very loose, easy going from one speed to another. Should I send it to CLA, or is there some easy fix...

I was hoping it would be less than 3000€, but it is as it is. Not for me. Over 6000 USD in Europe.

From all digital bodies - I have only Nikon D700 that I did not sold, somehow this D700 is very much "film like" in out of the camera jpg results, at least to my eyes.

If they can do this in Leica M film body - then it will be something. Prices of digital M bodies are very high, so I am sure there would be a lot of people interested. Maybe to remove film backing plate or something like that?

There is a Color Skopar 35mm in LTM mount, not sure about the price...

Not much use of medium format for me, most of the time I use 35mm. I used Rolleiflex and now I have Yashica, but most of the time I shot with Diana F or newer Diana F+, as they give me unusual look. So I am not after higher resolution, just different format and special look.

Thanks! I will go for a Foma :), totally forgot about it (and I use Foma papers all the time 😅 )!

Hi all, Long time ago I used Tetenal liquid emulsion, and results were ok. I see it is no longer in production, on Fotoimpex site I see that they have ADOX Polywarmtone Emulsion and ROLLEI RBM Black Magic 2. Anybody used one of these? Do I need to user hardener? With tetenal I did not used it...

The best nikkor portrait lenses that I own are 105mm f2 Defocus Control and 180mm f2.8 ED.

I have 105mm f2 DC, but it is big and heavy, so most of the time 105mm f2.5 Ai goes with me. I struggle to find any nikkor lens that I really don't like, even cheap zoom lenses like 35-105 or 28-80 are more than good for what I do.

Hi all, I know I am not the only one that buys something, then sell it, and then later buys the same thing again. So here is one new thread - what did you purchased, sold and then purchased again? I got Olympus XA. Had one 5-6 years ago, as well as XA2. Why I did sold it? I don't remember, but...

Hi all, I got this original syrup from ADOX, develops nice negatives (as expected). Lately I use more HC-110 than my usual developer, Rodinal. In any case ADOX is spot on with this, as with many other products 💪.
