Leica & Stylus Around the World: Round #9

k_jupiter · Aug 8, 2013

Thanks for all the advice. I put MTL in it a year or so ago. That's what is confusing. I only hope the rear seal or something isn't gone. Of course, being the Renaissance man that I am, I could just pull the tranny and rebuild it. But what a PITB.

Made it home. Just sticky going into 1st and second.

Pictures when I have them developed.

Tim,

Cable clutch or hydraulic? That does sound like a clutch adjustment issue.

Hydraulic.

Might be but doesn't feel like it. I'll check it out tomorrow. Gots to do the engine oil anyway.

Sweeeeeeet!!

PM sent to Nicholai to remind him that we are all still playing this silly game of ours.

Confession: I've been stalking this forum for the past few days entertaining myself with your trials and tribulations.
(I felt guilty and felt the need to speak up.)

This might be early as the other threads indicate, but if ever a camera 10 comes around, I'd be overjoyed if you guys let me join in on the fun.

Until then, thanks for the entertainment!
-If anyone on this forum is a film producer, I would bet my bottom dollar that this story would be a better sell than that stupid sisterhood of the traveling pants chickenpoop.

Your penance will be inclusion in Round 10, and the soul-crushing burden that comes with taking PERFECT PICTURES to make up for the crap the rest of us shoot.

Oh - there will be a Round Ten. Too many addicts involved. And be careful waht you wish for, really!

I am sorry, you need a note from your doctor, a registered psychiatric professional, to join our group.

If the note doesn't say you are a certified nut case, you cannot join.

Bingo!

The rain held off for a few minutes this afternoon, long enough for me to get my two shots. Sadly, my speedo wasn't back from the cleaners (I suspect he's been wearing it) so I had to make do with pants.

So who's next?

This is patently not true. My note was from my proctologist, seconded by my neurologist.

Nevermind what they said.

I'm not sure my nuttiness can be certified. Lets just settle on saying that I'm eccentric.
Case in point, I don't know what sort of "normal people" would be entertaining themselves reading through a series of old forums.

Well, that explains lxdude then....

So you took the shots commando-style?

I'm sorry to say I had to look that one up.

Heck, nothing explains John_Nikon_F either.

It's a shame I don't live in the Windy City...

The Leica is now on its way to Tron_ in Michigan. PO seems to think it'll be delivered on Wednesday. Enjoy!

Are you referring to "gas" as in methane producing, stinky, who cut the cheese; or the syndrome of acquiring photographic equipment?

Shawn Rahman · Aug 28, 2013

Update on the Stylus: I sent a PM last week to Nicholai, and asked him to let me know when he is mailing the Stylus. No response so far. Let's give him a few more days - until this weekend - before we start clogging up his email and PM. We may need all hands on.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the end of summer!
