You are active, and love what you do, which keeps you young at heart. Yes, the parts creak a bit more, but they still work, so keep at it.

A delightful lens to say the least when you know how to use it and where! :-) On the M8 was a 35mm f1.2 Voightlander lens. Yes I know Sacrilege in Leica lingo! But an incredible lens for crispy sharp images! :-) Just got to love it! :-) As the event moved along I switched lenses back and forth with a quick click--click and covered the event completely with available light. Actually quite magical in look ! :-) My biggest disappointment was I was only working with one M8 where in the olden golden days I'd have had 2 or 3 M8's and eliminated the stupid necessity of swiftly switching lenses. However that was then and this is now. All images look beautiful and it does appear the assignment shoot was a success for my client. "THE GREATER VICTORIA HOSPITALS FOUNDATION." Prints delivered Monday a.m.! :-) It's when you still pull off an excellent shoot on assignment that makes one feel very good in satisfying a paying client! Particularly when you have days of misgivings that your days are numbered and it's becoming time to sell all the photo bits and pieces. That's never going to happen as I love this photo thing with the greatest passion possible! It's a calling man. A calling!:-) And when I go? On my 100th birthday day; 27 May 2029 a Leica M of some sort will go with me!:-) Smile for crying out loud!:-) Hell you never know what might be on the other side? ;-) Always think positive and young! Do that and you will always be young at heart and to hell with the "Being OLD CRAP!" Old is for mentally old people! Me and a number of others alike, we are obviously young at heart even though we maybe "elders in heart NUMBER!" But we'll never grow -up! See how easy it can be simply because it's all about "attitude!" and SCREW THE ACHES AND PAINS! :-) cheers crew! ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Hopkinson" <hopsternew at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2014 2:39 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Inconsistent lens detection on M 8 > On the camera side you can try cleaning the 6 bit sensor panel.
