some 202 pics

202 is not easy to use

the equation

life = work
work = rush
rush = no great outcome
no great outcome = suck
suck = life

then it's time to do something

sketch on the beach

during weekend, i went windsurfing
but unluckily, or luckily, the store is closed
so i went for sun bath on the beach
i felt a sleep very soon

when i woke up i saw an amazing scenery
too bad that day i didnt bring any camera
only my sketch book is with me
here's what i seen
well, i tried my best to draw it
it's hard

i wanna give up

i wanna give up

about film scanner

talked about scanner on the nam sun wai trip with a few people

yup the home-use scanner arent very good
take a look (click to enlarge)

1. scanned by YMT store
3. scanned by my 8600
2. no.3 -> after photoshop following color tone of no.1

it is almost a must to photoshop it for the contrast and a bit on the color tone
else e2c picture will look like normal negative, as the scanner will help you to color-balance it...

after photoshop the contrast / color tone can be close to the store ones
(yet it is so hard to look the same as the bright/dark area will go too extreme... =.=)
but still, many details at the darker / lighter part are lost...

I use it just to save $ XP

November's selection

pics being praised
though no big deal
but still so happy ar

lca急救 - 上唔到片 [lca ER - lock bug]

I think it is a common "bug" to Lca that you cant go forward nor launch the shutter
basically the cam is locked...

I had the same problem today and I've found the fix

open up the upper shell
on the frame counter side, do the fix below...
close the upper shell with a screwer pushing the copper stripe + carefully
then the cam wil work normallly again



hope it helps la

急救8M

got the broken 8M from a friend today... looks like it is some easy stuff...
this later version of 8M is using some easy-breaking material
when u drop it, the delicate parts will break easily
(shiny black 8M)


when I open it, except that, that's something more...


first let's save the brokend part, easy easy



then re-arrange the springs


the iron part is totally bent... it is not easy to save...
you must have used 1 tonne force over the button ><



tried hard to bend the iron part to reform its original shape
it works basically, finally, but still with some un-recoverable thing
which is, when u press the button anytime, you can go forward (even not taking a pic yet). possibly due to the part's deformation.... so this 8M is 90% healthy ... @_@


it's the 3rd time I got a 8M with seriously bent metal part...
a suggestion to everyone facing difficulties on such old old cams... dont push anything forcibly... the dislocated parts will not go back to normal... big force will just make the situation worse...
