RE: [Leica] Not Happy with My Results

[goldframe1@yahoo.com]

Sorry - I guess I meant to imply that yes the transparencies are sharp -
but, one area is projected on the screen and one area is sharp but the edges
aren't - then I slightly change the projector focusing and the edges become
sharp and the first area becomes less sharp.  Of course there is the "pop"
when the slides heat up - but the edge to edge sharpness on the screen is
still not even - focus one area the other goes out etc.

You mention you are not happy with the slides taken with the M and go on to
talk about the focus on the projector.

I think first thing you need to do is isolate the problem.  Take your slides
and look at them with a loupe on a light table.  If the focus is still off
then problem is either you or the rangefinder on the camera, which can be
easily determined.

If the focus looks good on the light table then the problem is the
projector.

I'm not happy with the overall results that I have been getting from my
prints and/or slides taken with my M.

...

My slides aren't satisfying to me either - I spent the bucks and got a Leica
P300 expecting to get some great results and I'm happy with the colors but
my slides are never flat and the focus is off - I adjust for one area and
the other goes out of sharp focus.

...  I just don't remember having such disappointing results, back when,
with my Nikon shot
slides and Kodak carrousel.
...
Any advice - other than a couple of single malts - not that that's bad
advice.
