That then would be better termed a 'bloom' rather than haze. Serious hazing, which can originate from grease traces or poor storage conditions, can reduce contrast quite considerably.

Makes sense to stop the lug breaking in the first place, but in my case only the bottom one broke so complete electrical contact was lost. The extra half millimetre in length restored the contact to the new position of the door without the need for extra binding.Sandehalynch wrote:

Assuming it's just the one at the bottom that's broken.

I've never taken my MX winder out of doors. The noise scares me!
But I do like my plain MX with a 43Ltd on the front. Trouble is it rarely gets a look in given the competition.

"Aching indifference" I like that, and so true.
That little girl's comic goofiness is interesting for me. It may not show her skill but it says something about her effort.

Just a few.
I only found out about this festival of dance yesterday, but apparently it's held every year at the Waterfront Museum in Swansea.

Not as useful as having your own domain name, but still an important arrow in the quiver ...

The 'signature' as I think it's often referred to, the very individuality that allows one to choose a lens as a painter might choose a brush - hog, squirrel, or sable.At the end of the day lenses are for making images and MTF testing only shows a technical result.

I've had my 43mm for eight years and it's never disappointed ...

With a lot of new developments (especially brown land reclamations, docks, etc) not only are the sidewalks owned by the developers, and therefore private property, but also the roads. There's no getting around the private property argument.
