@p357@mastodon.com.pl I've just had a proper look. I was out walking around taking photos with my 500cm which, by a bizarre coincidence, has a *very* similar light leak! I've been testing my hypothesis that I have an issue with the mirror bumper/ light seal that seals around the mirror in the up position. I'm testing by taking photos in bright sun with the viewfinder closed. You could do a similar test, cover the viewfinder.

@p357@mastodon.com.pl if it doesn't move at all it is unlikely to be a lens flare. Could it be a bit of the internal flocking/ paint inside the body has come off and so you've got a shiny bit in there?

@anderseknert@swecyb.com there was a very insidious , and mildly successful promotion via premier league footballers here in the UK about 5 to 10 years ago. Lip cancer is unpleasant though, and I think they got nukes by vapes.

@Wen@mastodon.scot I'm so torn on this. I feel like they need to be licensable for the blind and partially sighted. But your average pervert has no business walking around with them

@cR0w@infosec.exchange that's the most use I've seen a CCNA put to too. Of course, the CISSP course book would fit nicely in that space, and would be doing far more good than any CISSP in history ever has.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services I feel like "why am I seeing this" needs to be baked into the web/app experience. If someone has thrown 20 tags on a post, finding the one it came from can be annoying (I mean, I'm muting them anyway, but still, some hash tags hit a threshold where they get interesting to spammers).

I'm a it out of practice with the MicroFlex, probably pushed the slow shutter speed too far.

From the test roll of the new copy of the Ensign Cameo. Everything seems good.

I call this one "Badly Framed Guitar", missed it by a couple of inches! I'd forgotten my loupe, this was just down the road from our house and I was rushing as the people in the house were chatting by their front door.

Dev'ed my two walkabout rolls (chilled dev 2 or three degrees below target and adjusted time as it warmed up, there come out fine).
The new #EnsignCameo seems to be light leak free at least. 1/25s shutter and aperture seem good too going by exposures (everything pretty much metered out at 1/25th, walk only lasted 90mins). Focus looks basically good, won't be certain until I scan them.
The MPP photos look nice too, will be fun to compare (used some of the same xcenes)
