Camera and Coffee

Nikon F2. Coffee.
 
Wow, that thing is bigger, than I thought (or is this a very small Nespresso)!

That cup is American espresso size, I think.

Size of this thing is kinda hard to say. When I first saw the product shots last year, I thought it was a lot smaller thing. After seen some in-hand shots, I thought this thing was huge. The camera I received was just about the size I thought it would be or a bit smaller than that.

Two more pics comparing the size, following the camera and coffee theme.

Ahh - next to the Leica, it makes much more sense - not too big at all!

Did you use it already? What do you plan to do with the files - convert to still photos for web with focus adjusted later or do you do some sort of web gallery for playing around?

I am curious about the possibilities - is there a thread for this new camera here on RFF?

Here is the thread I made a few days ago. You'll see some of the "live photos" with the camera on my album page. As of today, their embedding option is limited.

I've added several new interactive shots after the posting as well.
 
Just received a gift of $500 out of the blue, so I splurged it on the extra cost of a black X100. Really a great camera now that the firmware is mostly sorted.

Thanks Dirk 😀

The mug was actually my price at our annual christmas lottery this year.
I had to do the B/W conversion, cause it's bright orange. 😉
 
Paul, an explanation....

For those who haven't seen it, you must visit this thread...

Leica makes very good cameras. I was so impressed by the M9-P and Noctilux combination that I went back to the store and bought several more Leica cameras. I think they will make me a better photographer.

One thing that I found disappointing is that the Leica M8 and Leica M9-P cameras and Noctilux and Elmarit lenses do not have self-cleaning sensors. I asked a friend of mine, a fellow dentist, what technique he prefers for cleaning his sensors. He showed me this very useful technique. It is very automatic. I think it will make me a better photographer.

You simply place the camera into an automatic dishwasher, preferably from a manufacturer such as Bosch. (The kind salesman at the photographic store told me that it's best not mix products from Germany with those from other countries.) Then, and this part is very important, especially, if like me, you want to be a better photographer; using the wash cycle selector lever, button or knob on your German dishwasher, very carefully set the cycle to number 2. That seems to work best.

My other disappointment with the additional Leica cameras that I purchased (by the way, they must be very good owing to the fact that they are quite expensive ... even these very old ones for some reason; but I think they will make me a better photographer) is that they do not seem to have sensors that can be cleaned. However, my friend still said they could benefit somehow from a good cleaning, so I've also carefully loaded them into the nice Robert Bosch dishwasher.

Okay, then, now we're ready to clean our sensor. Don't forget: setting no. 2 works best.
 
Rob--thank you!

Rob--thank you!

Ahhhh-at last!
Some great info.
We have a Bosch DW and I can find cycle #2.
Next step--load with Summicron DW detergent and....
All will be OK..
Thanks again Rob!

har! rob, your joke is so much better. you really ought to make a video with the little script you wrote. do a cutaway so it looks like your cams actually were washed. open the DW, pull out the rack and show how nice and shiny they. perhaps a voila moment ...
