Oh-No, not more GAS. LOL.
BTW I'm switching back to 135 for a while to deplete a stockpile of film that's currently in my freezer. Using that Pentax 67II extensively has definately built some upper body stregnth. A Nikon F3P rigged with a motordrive is now a small camera. LOL.
Anyways its amazing how steady I can now hold a camera. I'm kinda ready to go night shooting using only 1250 ISO.

The 26th should work for me. I'd be interested in seeing that Koni Omega as well.

This is a bump.
I depleted my stockpile of 120; now its time to empty the freezer of 135. Already have 50 rolls that need to be developed in the fridge. Now is the time to shoot Leica and Nikon. Too bad I keep breaking my M6HM. Now the framelines are jammed. Before that I jammed the shutter but good and had it CLA'ed.
It was a mint camera when I first got it, but it tumbled down a gravel embankment and suffered some cosmetic damage the first week I got it. Sent it out to Sherry to get a MP finder upgrade before I jammed the shutter, and did not get a CLA at that time because it checked out all good with Sherry.
Anyways this Leica somehow is getting hammered and it seems to be a lemon. It is one of the last M6's made, and so far it does not seem as durable as my early Wetzlar M6. I'm hoping that eventually the repair bills stop because I really like the MP 0.85 VF'er and didn't want spend big dollars to buy a MP.

Cal, I wonder if the fall caused a lot more issues than we initial assumed?

Could be. Cosmetics aside, I just want to be able to shoot lots of film. I still really love this rig because its optimized for my 50 Lux ASPH and my 75 Lux.
Also shooting that beasty Pentax 67II has my 35mm hand held photography even steadier. Its amazing how steady I am now because I was always pretty good. Also the Nikon F3P with motor drive seems rather quiet. I wonder if its because of damaged hearing from the Pentax Shutter. Also know that I've used the Pentax enough that I already killed a set of batteries. Good thing I bought a whole box of batteries.

Hoping this will be the last repair. This M6 will be use a lot more now that its been broken in, LOL, because of the scrapes and bruises.
Also I kinda have worked out shooting Tri-X at 1250 and developing with Diafine 7+4 for negatives with nice grey scale. We have to shoot at night soon. I have mucho-mucho Tri-X in 135.
BTW the M9M GAS is still raging. I love all the gear that remains after two cull downs, but I'd have to sell some gear to finance my first brand new Leica. Anyways waiting till the release of the M10 before I try and sell my 35 Cron V.4.
