Great themes, I need to set reminders.

Today’s image might be from my new iPhone, I left the DSLR at home and a big storm is rolling in.

I like to think I run a pretty clean operation. I keep my lenses in soft wraps and use good technique for len’s changes etc. I have been struggling though with a piece of lint or dirt in my photos at moderate to high aperture settings. I have used rocket blower and repeatedly activated the ultra sonic dust removal routine.

Can you imagine my surprise when I finally had enough and shined a flashlight into the mirror box in sensor clean mode and found a 2 inch long dog hair wrapped around the foam!

I have had this camera for over 4 years now with steady daily use. It might be time for a CLA.

Have you ever sent out your DSLR for a maintenance service?

I was hoping to to much more photography this weekend, but I was so busy. maybe I'll do something today, like going swimming with my Ricoh WG-20 and try some underwater shots.

I did get a few 35 year old slides scanned, maybe that will do?

Oh many congrats! It seems to be meeting, even exceeding, expectations for most users!

Great, congrats! And have fun
I've been recently thinking of a KP... I think I'll grab one this year to replace my good old K-50.

Thanks for the reminder, I need to rent one for next weekend when I hope to have time to try it out. I really like my K-1, but the KP, the K-3iii, the Ricoh GRiii, as well as a bunch of used K-3 series camera now hitting the market are calling to me. I barely have time to take pictures so I don't want to spend money for something I won't use much.

I want to rent the KP and use it with my DA 40 XS and see if It will be a fun compact walk-around combo.

Bummer! Get better quickly!

I got back from a week long trip and was planning to backfill my missed DIC dates, but actually feel like a continued break from DIC is good for me at this time... I'll be skipping August I think too...

All the best to everyone in solving difficulties... Here, life has ups and downs, too and not always there is either time or energy left for photography. I've caught up with the past two days but I'm not sure if I'll keep the theme today.
