Although I kinda found that one funny, that's probably true for most Leicas sold these days lmao

I mean, I don't know the guy but from what I heard, Francis wasn't huge on flexing wealth so I'm pretty sure he didn't ask Leica to build a camera-shaped marketing opportunity for him.

Y'know, I try to like Leica as a company, which also means that I try to ignore everything they did in the last 20 years and most of their customers, but I have to read some stuff for research and it's hard to remember that they weren't always the "look at me!!" golden tech bro Lambo of photography

Bluechecks are cringe anyway

Except those by Tom, they're fine

Leica eventually went with vertical traveling metal blade shutters, which don't appreciate the sun either but they're more resilient against it. But that started to be a thing with the M8 I think? So, fairly recent for Leica standards

So... it's (mostly) the curtain, got a big burn-hole. Not great, not terrible, available as aftermarket part but I gotta hunt for that.

Kind of a unique issue with rangefinders: The sun hates them and if you store them without a lens cap, it will try to kill them if it gets the chance

Cat keeps following me 🤔
November 25, 2025 at 1:50 PM
Also: cat
November 25, 2025 at 1:02 PM
Anyway, here's somebody else's cat for a change.

Doris is extremely annoyed by me waking up at 4AM for no particular reason and having the audacity not to feed her immediately

Added a secret trapdoor that launches randomly colored balloons when clicking the thing.

This may _sound_ like a stupid feature, but it's actually very important because that's how the sad =( is turned back into a happy =)

Also a cat, which mostly just stares straight ahead, occasionally blinks, and appreciates getting clicked.

Why?

I don't know, it's caturday, let the =) have a cat.
November 22, 2025 at 9:53 PM
Website Update: Added sadness.

Right clicking the =) makes it =( now.

I don't know why you would want to do that, =) did absolutely nothing to you, but you can if you must. You monster.

Es gibt auch eine coole Variante 👀

HELL YEAH SUN'S COMING UP LFG

Na danke Vergangenheits-Alex, haste ganz toll gemacht
November 22, 2025 at 5:36 AM
Website Update: The =) now gets nervous when you hover over it, and will run away if you don't knock it off.

Please don't chase the =), thank you.

Horribly busy week, but I've just decided to use my newly gained comprehensive CSS skills to redesign my website.

Before: Dreadful, just a white =) in the default font on anthracite, offering nothing.

Now: Tastefully centered, striking colors, offering hope in uncertain times.
